The Toughest Indian in the World’s Biggest Challenge by Dr. Kelvin Frank, Ph.D. (Cree Saskatchewan Canada), Eastern Washington University (faculty member), Vice President/Co-Founder of All Nations Foundation
At the age of 36, Joe “The Boss” Hipp won the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Heavyweight Championship in 1999 making him the first Native American Heavyweight Champion of the World. Besides Joe’s accomplishment of the WBF Heavyweight Championship, he won the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) title (1994), the WBF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship title (1991), and the Western US Heavyweight Championship title (1996). That’s four championship professional boxing titles! Joe also fought Bruce Seldon in 1995 for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Championship but lost, fight being stopped in the ninth round of a scheduled 10 round bout, because of a cut above Joe’s eye. ALL NATIONS FOUNDATIONSince retiring from the sport in 2007 Joe has formed a non-profit organization — All Nations Foundation — dedicating his life in being an advocate, a leader, and role model for what he truly believes in, Native American youth. Joe has since volunteered countless hours making appearances at youth conferences and summits. He represents himself as an asset for Native American lives, by living his life as a great Native American symbol for all Nations. Our Mission: The mission of All Nations Foundation is to encourage Native American Youth to strive for achievement and excellence in sports, academics, health and fitness; preserve the Native American sports heritage and build pride and positive lifestyles in the spirit of Native American culture through mentoring and serving as role models by engaging in a broad range of civic and charity activities that benefit Native American communities with the belief that boxing has no boundaries; we all speak the same language; we all understand perfectly its universal voice and that we all chat with our fists, with our hearts, and with our souls. Our Goals: 1: To form a Boxing Club where tribal youth would train extensively for the Indigenous Games Nations, Golden Gloves Competition, and many Native American Boxing tournaments. (We currently have access for a 5500 sq. ft. facility). 2: To Provide an After-School Tutoring/Mentoring service to Urban Youth. |
any people in Indian Country may not know that in the professional boxing world there is someone we should be proud of, namely Blackfeet Warrior Joe “The Boss” Hipp.
 JOE HIPP's message:
Our children are our biggest asset. That is why I work tirelessly to let them know that anything they try, anything they begin, they can accomplish. One of the critical issues that we face today is the issue of leadership. Many people in our communities believe that leadership is simply being the first, biggest or most powerful. Leadership should have a different and more meaningful definition. Simply put, the definition of a leader should be interpreted as someone who sets direction in an effort and influences people to follow that direction. How they set that direction and influence people depends on a variety of factors that are considered within our organizations. Joe Hipp, President & Founder All Nations Foundation is a 501(c) (3) non-profit charitable organization that encourages excellence in sports, academics, health and fitness; preserves our sports heritage and builds pride and positive lifestyles in the spirit of Native American culture.
