Jonty Surrey (born August 4, 1986, in one of the major cities of Punjab, by the name of Jalandhar, India) is an Indo-American former boxer, philanthropist, social activist, Considered a cultural icon, Jonty is both idolized and vilified. After his birth, he was taken to Chandigarh by his parents, as his family was living there in chandigarh. There he lived for almost 4 years and then after that again he came back to his birth place, Jalandhar City. There he started his study at St. Joseph's Convent School. He was doing good in his school, was happy, and was participating in every single game. Later on, he showed his interest in boxing and wrestling and he joined a local team from Jalandhar for boxing. He was doing well in that. First he become Interschool Champion, then after that he went for district level, and then after that he went for state level. And in 1997, he became state boxing champion in the caterogy of under 14. He was happy but his family was not. As his family never wanted to see him as a boxer. After his that win, he got an opportunity to go for national level championship. At that time, he was damn excited and then on April 4, 1997, he went to Mumbai for National level boxing championship. His first competition was with a guy from Haryana, and in that competition Jonty won the game in just 2 rounds. Then, in next game he beated a guy from Sikkim. I still remember, it was his semi-final when he said yaar i'm not feelig good and i said no you have to go for that game and he said okay. But he said i'm afraid i dont know why. And he was right, he lost that game in 11th round. The guy who was fighting with him was from Mumbai. He breaked his nose, damanged his left eye, etc. etc. i was with him. After the game, Jonty said that i told you before that i m not gonna with this game and now see what happened. I said dont worry we will try next time. After that we went to his home, where his mother and father started shouting on him and they banned his boxing for the rest of his life. He was crying, begging, and screaming cause i know he cant live without boxing, but his parents were also right at that time. so, then after that he was not interested in anything. His parents were also feeling sad, but then he went to USA for study. He was just 14 years old when he went to USA. He was living in Miami, Florida. Wanted to be a formula 1 driver, but was not possible for him. He took admission in an academy for that but due to his financial condition he was not able to carry on with that. So he compromised with that and started doing a job in local restaurant. but he was always missing his country, home, friends, and family. i personally know that he never wanted to go to foreign, but now in days he is living in London, just for his dreams...and his dreams are he wanted to do something different...from others. There in Florida, he started studying medical, working hard and then after 7 years i come to know that he has become a cardiothoracic surgeon. And at that time, my eyes were wet and i think i was crying....cause a friend of mine like jonty what he wanted to do in his life....he has done...

i always miss him alot...now its almost 12 years..he is out of his home country...but i m still waiting for him to come here and meet me....
