Self-Taught Heavyweight Boxer

Delian, 34, is a single father and a self-taught heavyweight boxer who earns  a living through giving private boxing classes. He considers a decision by Haiti's boxing federation not to let him fight in tournaments as unfair, and he feels betrayed by the federation: "I guess it's all about who you know and it's all about who you are friends with. It is so hard to succeed in anything in this country." Delian says coach Daniel Edouard promised to send him on a tournament but later told him, "You are not capable." During an interview, Edouard said he saw Olympic potential in Delian.
