After avoiding jail time and receiving three years probation for gun and narcotics charge as a juvenile, [9] Booker took up training in Stamford, Connecticut under former light heavyweight pro Ahmad Mickens at Revolution Training and Fitness, where he also works as a personal trainer.
Between fights, Booker works as a personal trainer at Revolution Training in Stamford, CT. [10] Additionally, he coaches Golden Gloves fighters Jacqueline Boyle (132) and Catie Ramsey (125), as well as MMA fighters Kastriot Xhema and Theodore Macuka.
Booker appeared in a 2017 MSNBC commercial for Hardball with Chris Matthews with the host. [11] He made his modeling debut along with former WWE Diva Summer Rae at the September 2018 New York Fashion Week runway show for designer ACID NYC. [12] In 2019 he starred in a commercial and was featured in print advertising for SentinelOne. [13]
In November 2018, Booker launched the "Go The Distance Foundation" at Trailblazers Academy in Stamford. Booker said: “The No. 1 thing I want to do is break down the barriers between at-risk youth and the police. I don’t want our kids to think they can’t have a conversation with a police officer. I want to create a place with an atmosphere where we can create a dialog and conversation with both points of view." [14]
Booker was the subject of a documentary short that premiered in November 2016 at three film festivals: DOC NYC, the Big Apple Film Festival, and New York Short Film Festival. [15] [16] [17] The film is directed by Craig Cutler and produced by Fela Cortes. [18] [19]
