For a period of 10 years (2000-2010) as a professional boxer, I dedicated my life to fighting for myself. Everything I did was focused on winning the boxing matches ahead. I fought and won. Since then, I have now dedicated my time and resources to fighting for the people of Nevada. Yes, I am fighting for you. It is my number one priority to respond to the community outcry at any time. I fight for you, regardless of sex, religion, race, and status.
I request you to join me and fight any action that makes lives much harder than they already are. Make our communities more habitable. To stand up and fight for our rights. Fight for our businesses, both big and small. They need to be operational because everyone depends on them to meet their daily needs. I will be on the frontline fighting any regulation or direction that is unconstitutional or not in the best interest of the community.
I was a collegiate fighter at the University of Nevada, Reno. I was a four-time Regional Champion, a three-time National Champion, a four-time All American, and was twice named the outstanding boxer of the National Collegiate Boxing Championships.
I was the 2000 Golden Gloves Champion. I won the title shortly after I returned from training with the Nevada Air National Guard
I made my professional boxing debut immediately after I won the golden gloves and before starting law school in the summer of 2000.
I attained my Juris Doctor degree from Thomas Jefferson Law School in San Diego, California, in 2003.
I was cast on NBC's reality TV show ”The Contender” in 2004. I was placed on the West Coast Team and won against Jimmy Lange in the first round of this competition. After ”The Contender,” I won a 6 round unanimous decision in the super middleweight division. On February 18, 2004, I won the rematch with Jimmy Lange at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA, for the vacant middleweight NABO title. I won the WBC-USNBC middleweight title shortly after.
In 2008, I founded Joey Gilbert Promotions to provide high-quality entertainment in and for combat sports.
In 2009, I founded Joey Gilbert Law, a criminal defense, personal injury, DUI, and immigration law firm located in Reno, Nevada.
In 2018, I was awarded “Best Attorney”in Reno-Tahoe by the Reno News & Review.
Sacrifice and determination delivers results. I’ve always outworked my competition.
