Fidel Tukel: The Cleveland Resurgence

Fidel Tukel has built his life around sporting activities. When he was younger, he developed a passion for the sport of boxing, and he decided that he would pour himself into the "sweet science." He opened his own boxing gym in Sydney, Australia, and he started training fighters and others who wanted to learn how to box for self-defense and fitness reasons.

This is a man who has an entrepreneurial spirit, so he also became a promoter. He organized concerts, and he was the driving force behind a number of different televised boxing events.

Boxing is not his only sporting interest. Fidel Tukel also loves NFL football, and he is a fan of the National Basketball Association as well. Since he is from Australia, he doesn't have a local team that he could adopt like most people in the United States.

He had options, but he decided to root for the underdog when he became a fan of the Cleveland Browns. The franchise was very successful back in the 1950s and 1960s, but they haven't won a championship in over 50 years. Recent seasons have not gone very well for the Browns, but the Cleveland sports scene has enjoyed an amazing resurgence of late.

Lebron James decided to go back to the Cleveland Cavaliers a number of years ago, and they reached the mountaintop when they won their first NBA championship when they beat the Golden State Warriors at the end of the 2015-2016 season. 

The Cleveland Indians almost pulled off the same feat. They made the World Series, but they fell short in game seven after they held three games to one lead. Times are changing for Cleveland sports fans, and Fidel Tukel may get a chance to see the Browns turn their fortunes around like these other Cleveland teams.
