Termite Watkins Biography
Maurice “Termite” Watkins always loved a good fight. With a nickname like Termite and being a scrawny little kid he was offered many opportunities.
From the age of 10 years old his passion was to be a champion. He realized that dream many times over by becoming our Nation’s first 16 year old Golden Gloves Champion (with an amateur record of 128 wins and 10 losses), by becoming a professional boxer (with a record of 58 wins, 5 losses, 2 draws, and 48 knock-outs), and by concluding his career with a fight for the coveted world title!
After his legendary career he was asked to go to Iraq and use his pest control skills to rid our US military camps of bugs, scorpions, and snakes. Through a series of events he was soon asked to coach and qualify the Iraqi boxing team for the 2004 Olympics. He inspired the world and will inspire you as well, with his story of incredible perseverance overcoming daunting obstacles as he helped Iraq reach their Olympic dreams!

“The story of an American Prize Fighter who went to Iraq to kill bugs and built an Olympic team instead.” Termite’s Iraq speech begins and ends with a message of overcoming obstacles.
From the age of 10 years old his passion was to be a champion. He realized that dream many times over by becoming our Nation’s first 16 year old Golden Gloves Champion (with an amateur record of 128 wins and 10 losses), by becoming a professional boxer (with a record of 58 wins, 5 losses, 2 draws, and 48 knock-outs), and by concluding his career with a fight for the coveted world title! After his legendary career he was asked to go to Iraq and use his pest control skills to rid our US military camps of bugs, scorpions, and snakes. Through a series of events he was soon asked to coach and qualify the Iraqi boxing team for the 2004 Olympics.
He inspired the world and will inspire you as well, with his story of incredible perseverance overcoming daunting obstacles as he helped Iraq reach their Olympic dreams!
Based on his favorite verse—Phil 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”—Termite feels strongly motivated to share the inspirational story of where his true strength is found. It is not found in his own strength, but in the Lord’s.
Termite enjoyed a very successful boxing career in his youth, and yet he has suffered many failures as well. He knows all too well how it feels when life knocks you down. He has learned firsthand the pain of hitting rock bottom, only to learn the most important truth of all: God is near to the brokenhearted and He is our ever present help in time of need.
Termite also met with seemingly insurmountable obstacles throughout his journey in Iraq. However, through it all he was reminded over and over again that with God: you can always find a way through every challenge. Regardless of your obstacles, God will supply every single thing you need to succeed.
With When Life Knocks You Down, your congregation or audience will be inspired by the Lord through Termite to “fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).
Termite’s contagious attitude and remarkable life experience will captivate and inspire participants to adopt more effective sales techniques. This isn’t your old school seminar! 15 Rounds of Life is a very unique learning experience conducted inside a working boxing Gym. If you are tired of dull, uneventful classes with monotone speakers, then this is the seminar for you! Termite integrates proven sales skills with hands-on boxing techniques that are effective both in and out of the ring.
Termite’s wisdom comes from his own successful career as a salesman and boxer. He believes that the ability to sell something is a skill that can be learned. However, he also teaches that good character, positivity, and a courteous attitude towards customers should always be a priority.
“The story of an American Prize Fighter who went to Iraq to kill bugs and built an Olympic team instead.” Keep Your Guard Up is the exciting, inspiring safety speech and presentation designed by Termite Watkins. Unlike most safety talks, which are dull, unimaginative, and difficult to remember, Termite’s presentation will grab the attention of his listeners with the compelling story of his success.
When safety is your goal, the best gift you can give your co-workers and employees is an enthusiastic, passionate speech from a speaker they won’t soon forget. You will find this enthusiasm and passion in former professional fighter and Olympic boxing coach, Maurice “Termite” Watkins. Leave nothing to chance. Make it your priority to choose, introduce, and present and educational experience that will save lives.
“In the darkest of moments, one man inspired a team, a country, yes, even the world.”
