Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on November 02, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Steve Cruz! You punched your way into boxing history when you clinched the WBA Featherweight title on June 23, 1986. Your legendary bout against Barry McGuigan still has fans talking—rumor has it even Rocky Balboa took notes!

Though your reign lasted until March 6, 1987, you've remained a timeless champion in our hearts (and probably scared off birthday candles ever since). Here's hoping this year brings fewer punches and more cake slices. Keep bobbing and weaving through life's adventures with that same knockout spirit.

Cheers to another round of greatness outside the ring—happy birthday champ!
