Bomani Parker (Born September 30, 1967), formerly named Parker White, was born on September 30, 1967 in Ohio. While his parents migrated to California shortly after his birth, Parker grew up to fight out of Richmond, California.

Amateur career

His boxing career started in West Oakland out of the Boys and Girls Club. Later he fought to win honors as a National Golden Gloves Champion in 1986 weighing in as a middleweight at 165 pounds. Soon he became a member of the American Olympic boxing team fighting as a south-paw (left-handed). He also fought in the Goodwill Games and grew to become an American Golden Gloves contender. He is currently still the only American boxer to hold the record with the most defeats against Russia a total of six wins. Parker also holds the record for the most defeats against Cuba, a total of four wins. Despite these defeats, he was able to compete in a championship bout in the 1988 Olympic Trials. In that bout, Bomani Parker fought against Alfred Cole. While he lost he still achieved the honors of a silver medal.

Professional career

Later, Parker went on to become a professional boxer making his debut in October 1988. He moved on to win the WBC Light Heavyweight Continental Americas title. He eventually fought at cruiserweight. He eventually moved up to the heavyweight class in 1995. He held a 14-6-1 record before his career was cut short by a 13-year prison sentence for possession of controlled substances.[1] He made a comeback in 2012 losing to Rodney Hernandez by a unanimous decision.
