Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on February 24, 1940)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Jimmy Ellis! You danced through boxing's golden era, holding the WBA World Heavyweight Championship from 1968 to 1970. Your swift punches and graceful footwork made opponents dizzy—and fans ecstatic—especially when you conquered Jerry Quarry for that coveted title.

You stood toe-to-toe with giants like Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, proving your courage matched your skill. Today we celebrate not just another year older—but another round wiser! May this birthday pack as much punch (and fewer bruises) than those epic battles in the ring. Keep bobbing, weaving, laughing—and stay forever young at heart!
