Who Is Steve Kim?

In1999, he joined one of the first boxing websites, ‘House of Boxing,’ and later became one of the founders of Maxboxing, which began in 2001 and lasted until his departure in 2014.
He was the lead columnist for UCNlive.com from 2014 to 2018. From 2018 to 2020, he worked as a boxing reporter for ESPN.com.

Steve Kim Wikipedia And Age
Steve Kim’s age seems to be in the 40s. He grew up as a first-generation Korean-American in the mostly Mexican- American Los Angeles suburb of Montebello in the 1980s.
Talking about his childhood, he did not fit the stereotype of an overachieving, academically stressed child that was emerging at the time. He describes himself as not a typical 4.0 Asian Student and also doesn’t have 100 SATs.

He simply enjoyed sports and he thinks that reading books illustrates more than textbooks. He aspired to be a sports reporter since he was a child, but his average grades made that seem nearly impossible.
Also, he and his working-class parents couldn’t afford to continue paying the relatively low tuition at Cal State L.A., so Kim dropped out rather than finish his degree.
Not only that, he even lacked marketable skills and was doomed to a future of factory work.

But currently, he is hosting a Youtube channel and is gaining a lot of popularity and maybe he is earning a sufficient amount of money.
He says he was fortunate to obtain employment at Aramark and Toyota sorting and loading parts. He says it was difficult to work, but the pay was fair.
He learned he had ability after all when he became captivated by late-night sports radio at work, specifically KMAX’s cultish The Sports God with Dave Smith and Joey Haim. He couldn’t help but talk about sports and had intriguing things to say.
