Yoel Judah (born 1956?) is the eldest member of the Brooklyn-based Judah boxing family.
He is the trainer and manager of his sons Zab Judah, Daniel Judah, and Josiah Judah.
Boxing & kickboxing career
He had a brief boxing career in the 1980s, going 1-1 in two fights. He is also a 7th-degree black belt and former 3-time world kickboxing champion.
Melee, license revocation & fine
He received national attention for his involvement in the melee in round 10 of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Zab Judah fight on April 8, 2006. After Zab hit Mayweather below the belt and with a rabbit punch, Roger Mayweather (Mayweather Jr.'s trainer) stormed the ring and went after Zab. Referee Richard Steele had Roger restrained until Yoel entered the ring and threw a right hand at Roger—an act that caused the ring to fill with Mayweather's camp members and security officers. On May 8, 2006, the Nevada State Athletic Commission fined Yoel $100,000 and revoked his training license for one year.
Miscellaneous
Judah's son Zab has been referred to in the press as "the best Jewish fighter of all time." This is, in and of itself, patently ridiculous as can be proven by simply naming several famous Jewish boxers, such as Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Maxie Rosenbloom, Jackie "Kid" Berg, Ted "Kid" Lewis, Lew Tendler and Benny Bass all of whom were far more accomplished fighters than Judah. Judah is an avowed Israelite, or Black Jew, and Judah's family has declared themselves Jewish.
