Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on January 18, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Virgil Hill! You're the champ who put North Dakota on boxing's map—no small feat considering most folks thought gloves there were just for shoveling snow. Your legendary battles in the ring earned you four world titles and made opponents wish they'd chosen chess instead.

From capturing Lineal, WBA, to IBF light-heavyweight crowns—you've danced circles around rivals with style and grace. Thanks for proving that greatness can come from anywhere—even places where cows outnumber people. Here's hoping your birthday packs as much punch as your famous jab; may it be knockout-worthy (but without any bruises)!
