But the pervasiveness of the disease struck Baxter when former teammate and Tigers midfielder Brian Myers was recognized with colon cancer in September 2016.
“To see somebody my age undergo colon cancer and see what it did to him, that really had a personal effect on me because if it can manifest to him, it can happen to anybody,” stated Baxter, who lives in Arlington, Virginia., together with his spouse, Katie, 5-year-old daughter, Stella, and 2-year-antique son, Wyatt. “It’s sort of just modified my complete thought manner.

Family and buddies say Baxter diving into boxing aren’t unexpected. He relished the physicality related to soccer and lacrosse, however former Towson lacrosse instructs Tony Seaman said Baxter, a defenseman, did no longer instigate trouble together with his combatants.

“But he’d hit anyone who got here into the protective area,” Seaman stated. “He was never shy approximately punishment. He becomes surely an enforcer on our crew, however, I never saw him fight.

Baxter, who said he grew up looking Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield field, watched former teammate Rich Beecher take part in a Haymakers for Hope event in New York in 2017. And while Beecher called him in April, Baxter did not want a lot convincing to sign on.

“I’ve continually notion approximately boxing, being able to walk all the way down to the ring with music and getting in there and boxing a person one-on-one,” he stated. “I just never idea I would do it. So this venture for me became non-public, but also a project to do something exactly and give again.”

A regular day involves Baxter attending to Urban Boxing in Arlington for a one-hour exercise beginning 6:15 a.M., returning home from his job as an independent standard contractor by means of four:45 p.M.
