Ngo Okafor Strikes A Balance Between Hunky Supermodel and Champion Boxer

He's a total knockout on camera and in the ring. Hunky supermodel and Golden Glove Champ, Ngo Okafor, came by the PIX Morning News Show today. Known as one of the best boxers of his generation, Ngo has won back-to-back Golden Gloves within the first three years of his career! He's also taken over the modeling world, posing alongside fashion icons like Gisele Bundchen in publications like Vogue, W, and ESPN Mag.
Now the most downloaded African-American model's acting career has gone full throttle too! After making various television appearances and wrapping his first feature film The Rebound with Catherine Zeta Jones, the triple-threat is currently working on a documentary. Triumph of the Will is a feature-length documentary that chronicles Ngo's journey from his homeland of Nigeria, to his current career as boxer, model, and actor.
Ngo discusses juggling his boxing and modeling career (he's represented by Wilhelmina Models) as well as his thoughts on being compared to Tyson Beckford.
Watch as he dukes it out with PIX11's own Jill Nicolini and Staten Island Chuck.
