Who is Tyson Bagent's dad? Meet 'The Beast,' a 28-time arm wrestling world champion
The Bears quarterback may not even be the strongest member of his family.
Tyson Bagent's father, Travis Bagent, is a 28-time world champion arm wrestler. Nicknamed "The Beast," Travis began his arm wrestling career in the late 1990s and has continued competing in events to this day. He is also the owner of CrossFit gyms in Shepherdstown and Charles Town, West Virginia, where arm wrestling competitions were held.
Travis claims that his time spent at his father's clubs gave him an edge in becoming a successful arm wrestler. He has won 28 world championships over a 20-plus-year career and earns an estimated $500,000 to $1 million from tournaments, hosting expos, and refereeing.
