Fascinating Facts About Ellis Zorro

1. His Age and and Real Name

As you would find, Ellis Zorro was born on October 5, 1992 in Bromley, Kent. Based on this, we can conclude that he is 32 years old. Over time, people have been curious about his real name considering that it is the same name that a fictional 20th century character used.

Since he became a boxer, many have attached him to Zorro who is portrayed wearing masks in movies. It turns out that, that Zorro is his surname and not another gimmick.

2. Ellis Zorro’s Parents Divorced when He was Young

His parents divorced when he was in the 6th grade and that affected him as he was sent to live with his father while his two other siblings went to live with his mother. Notably, his father worked long shifts meaning Zorro was mostly on his own.

Though, he was able to complete his secondary school and enter the university at Bruno University. According to him, he did not have much interest in academics and he only went to the University because his parents wanted him to. On his own, he thought he would just pursue a career in HR. At this point, his father advised him to concentrate more on his studies.

3. He Tried Teaching Special Needs Children after University

Prior to the launch of a boxing career, Ellis worked as a one-to-one teacher for children who were on the autism spectrum. He did this work after his graduation from the University and based on his mother’s persuasion.

According to him, the experience was quite important for him.

4. Zorro Started Boxing at the Age of 20

Unlike many professional fighters, Zorro did not start boxing at a younger age. In fact, it was while studying at the University that he started combat sports, by then he was already 20 years old.

At first, it was difficult for him during his amateur years as he did not have experience. Moreso, at the age of 25, he was surrounded by professional boxers like Chris Congo, and Chamberlain who he felt were better than him. Nonetheless, he did not allow this to discourage him, Zorro used their journey as a strength after all if they could do it so could he.

5. He made his Professional Debut in 2017

According to Boxrec.com, Zorro made his professional debut on December 2, 2017 in a match against Jindrich Velecky. Notably, he won the match with an impressive KO.

In 2022, Ellis reached another career milestone when he won a promotion contract with Boxxer and Skysport. According to reports he achieved this feat when he defeated Ricky Reeves during the Boxxer series.

7. He Won The WBO European Title in an Upset Against Hosea Burton

In May 2023, Ellis gave boxing afficionados their money’s worth when he won his 16th career fight against Hosea Burton, cousin to the legendary boxer, Tyson Fury. Arguably, the match was an upset as Burton had more experience and had even moved from light heavyweight to cruiserweight division ahead of the fight.

Apparently, Burton had given hints that this would be his last fight if he doesnt win. Hence, when Ellis knocked him out in the sixth round, Ellis did not just win the vacant WBO European title, he may have retired Fury’s cousin.

8. Aside from Boxing, Zorro is Also a Jeweller

Though Ellis has made a name for himself as a tough contender to meet in the ring, there is a side of him that many do not know. Apparently, there was a time when he just wanted to do boxing as a hobby without paying too much attention to training. This was because he considered making jewelry another work that occupied his time.

From what we gathered, he had picked the craft from his dad, a professional jeweler who had invested in the craft since before Ellis was born. Thus, Ellis would always find himself working in the business.
