According to Roshawn Jones, Isiah's longtime boxing trainer, Isiah was a "very great father" who "provided for his kids."
"He was a hard worker," Roshawn added in an interview with The Ring after the boxer's death. "Everyone is not perfect in life but he was a good human being. He’d make you smile and laugh and was a great role model in the gym."
Isiah -- a National Golden Gloves winner -- turned pro in 2016, and piled up a 9-7 record.
Roshawn has set up a GoFundMe for the fighter, explaining the money will go toward his funeral and his kids.
