Kevin Ferguson, who is more popularly known as Kimbo Slice is a Bahamian-born American fighter who is trained in multiple disciplines of martial arts, an undefeated boxer and has also made appearances as an actor in Hollywood films.
Kimbo slice sadly passed away in June due to a congestive heart failure. Slice is well known for his intimidating look and his imposing figure which explains why he was being paid as much as $50,000 a month simply to wear an MMA branded tee shirt.
What many people did not know about Kimbo Slice is the fact that despite his various eclectic fields of interests, his main priority was his family who live in a gated community in Coral Springs, Florida. Kimbo Slice has six children, all of whom went to private school. His oldest son, Kevin Ferguson Jr. studied photography for two years, but has since followed the footsteps of his legendary father and has gotten into fighting and martial arts.
Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. is now all set to make his first professional fighting debut come Bellator fight night 160 which is all set to take place in Anaheim, California on the 26th of August. Baby Slice has been training on a regular basis for nearly two years now and if his amateur debut is a sign of what is to come, then we can all expect to see an impressive fighter. Baby Slice won in just 38 seconds in his amateur MMA debut back in the month of March.
In an interview with media personnel, Baby Slice talked about his father’s death and said that he was working to get over it. He also mentioned that he was speaking to his father only days before he passed away and so he knew what was going on so it did not come as that much of a shock to him.
