Background and amateur career
Kauffman was born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania, with his brother Jason. Marshall, a former 7-one amateur boxer who gave up a career to raise the boys, began training his sons from an early age. Kauffman returned to an amateur career after being taken off from the sport for some time during his upbringing and being sent to local youth detention centers; at age 15, he was selected for the 2001 youth Olympic team. Despite his mother's death just a week before he was supposed to participate, Kauffman came in third place. Sadly, he had also failed to warn his probation officer that he was leaving the country and had been suspended for this on his return. Kauffman reached the semifinals of the 2003 National Golden Gloves Super Heavyweight Championship, where he was defeated by 23-year-old Travis Walker at age 17. After graduating high school, Kauffman received a full scholarship to box at Northern Michigan University, but he left the school two months and captured gold at the 2004 Police Athletic League national tournament. Kauffman was undefeated in international tournaments, including a victory over 2000 Olympic bronze medalist Vugar Alakbarov, who died in a contest in which Kauffman fought southpaw due to an injured right wrist. In 2005, Kauffman won a national silver medal.
