Kevin Ford (boxer)

Kevin Ford (born August 3, 1962) is an American former heavyweight professional boxer.

Amateur career

[edit]

Ford is a native of Sacramento, California, graduating from Rio Linda High School, but he moved to Houston in 1987 to further his boxing career.[1] He had a stellar amateur career, becoming the 1988 National Golden Gloves super heavyweight champion. Prior to the win, he lost to Riddick Bowe in 1988 Olympic Trials.

Professional career

[edit]

Ford turned pro in 1989 and was undefeated in his first 9 bouts before losing to Tony Willis by TKO in 1990. He then lost a decision to Joe Hipp in 1992 and again in 1993. He retired later that year after a TKO loss to James Smith.[2]
