Pat Carroll

Pat Carroll The Bear from Halifax

At 35 years old, Pat Carroll stands as a seasoned presence in the North American welterweight landscape. Fighting out of Tower 1 Combat Sports Team in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Carroll has compiled a 6-3-0 record, carving out each win with a methodical, pressure-driven style that earned him the nickname “The Bear.” Measuring in at six feet tall, he has parlayed his reach and a background of regional bouts into a steady climb up the Canadian and Maritime Canada rankings. Though he sits at No. 1,227 in the broader North America standings, Carroll’s impact is more pronounced closer to home. He’s ranked in two North American sub-regions—Canada and Maritime Canada—by virtue of fighting at least twice in each over his last six outings. In those contests, he’s tested himself consistently at welterweight, with his most recent pair of fights cementing his status in the 170-pound class. Carroll’s journey isn’t color-by-numbers hype. It’s defined by hard miles in small venues and the quiet discipline of a fighter who understands that regional respect is earned one round at a time. As he prepares for his next step, the Halifax native remains focused on translating his local traction into a more prominent foothold on the continental stage.
