Boxing career

Template:BLP unsourced section In the 1996 Olympics, after having defeated Roland Raforme (Seychelles) and Paul M'Bongo (Cameroon), Ross lost 14–8 in quarterfinals to Kazakhstan's eventual gold medalist Vassili Jirov. Ross entered the 2000 Olympics as a gold medal hopeful, however he was eliminated after a disappointing loss in his first fight with a knockout at the 2nd round by a  Nigerian boxer Jegbefumere Albert

Ross turned pro after the 2000 Summer Olympics, however he announced his retirement in 2005 after compiling a record of 13–1, due to the inability to get quality fights.
