He met a young woman named Christan Zaccagnino who had broke her neck in 1993, at age 10, and she continues to be wheelchair bound due to her Spinal Cord injury.

Boyd was a three-time All-American, four-time Gold Medalist at the All Army Boxing Championships, three-time Armed Forces Boxing Champion, World Military Boxing Championshipa, Bronze Medalist at the 2005 U.S. Nationals, Silver Medalist at the 2006 U.S. Championships and an alternate for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team.

Starting in 2010, Boyd became a professional boxer, and he donates all of his professional boxing earnings to justadollarplease.org to help raise funds for America's first Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Trial. Boyd and Christan together founded 'Team Fight to Walk.'
