Between 1985 and 1997 I had competed in 23 professional boxing matches. My record stood at 18 wins (11 KOs), 4 loses and 1 draw. Many people would say my track record at the time was not a big deal, but I won the IBF cruiserweight title which was enough to grant me a place in history. Being the second kick-boxer to become a world champion launched my career into superstardom. In September 7, 1991 in Salemi (Italy) I had a chance to fight James Pritchard, the fight ender on a knock out for the win in my favor and proceeded to claim the IBF crown. I proceeded to defend my title against Donnell Wingfield (5th round TKO) and Johnny Nelson (unanimous decision), before the IBF title win, I won against Nate Miller to become NABF cruiserweight champion. In kickboxing I won the WKA world title, ending in 1992 with a lost to legendary Don Wilson in Tokyo. In 1984, I was named the best fighter in the world by Paul Maslak’s Star System and four years later I was rated number one among heavyweights in PKO rankings.
