He had his first fight when he was sixteen. According to Muñoz, he won by knock out within the first thirty seconds. Police arrested Muñoz and his friends; he was charged him with fourteen felonies, including attempted murder, battery, burglary and first-degree assault. Facing five years in juvenile detention after pleading not guilty, Muñoz didn't like the odds. Instead of fighting this time, he fled.
He traveled from hotel to hotel in Fort Collins, catching rides with construction workers and farmers. But Muñoz returned to Greeley after the same friend who offered his credit card began renting a house with an extra room. He was hiding from law enforcement"right under their noses," Muñoz says.While he was on the run from the law, fugitive Efrain Muñoz says that he would still work out and jog around Greeley, where he was wanted.
"ATF and the detectives knew everything," Muñoz says."They tapped our phones and watched us for days and weeks before finally making their first move on me and wrangling me up. There was no struggle, no fight. I didn’t run after getting pulled over." Upon leaving work release in April 2022, Muñoz began his two years of probation. His probation officer gave him the green light to return to the boxing ring, allowing him to fight for the first time in nearly four years. Muñoz lost the match, but he says he wasn't nervous when walking into the ring.
"I couldn't be there for my family, not just my future children, but my mother and younger brothers. I was definitely setting my younger brothers the wrong example," he says."Anything you do affects everybody around you, whether it's good or bad." "He'll motivate them, he'll encourage them, sometimes he'll get in the cage to hold pads to help the younger kids," Maronek says."He's all about community in the gym."
