Amateur career

Parker's boxing career started in West Oakland, in the Boys and Girls Club. At age 19 he weighed-in as a middleweight at 165 pounds and fought as a south-paw (left-handed). In 1986, Parker fought as a National Golden Gloves Champion and also became a member of the American Olympic boxing team. He fought in the Goodwill Games and became an American Golden Gloves contender. Parker defeated Russian opponents six times—a record for an American boxer. He holds the record against Cuba as well, with a total of four wins. In 1988, Parker competed in a championship bout in the 1988 Olympic Trials against Alfred Cole.

Professional career

Parker made his professional boxing debut on October 13, 1988. Moving up in weight class, he went on to win the WBC Light Heavyweight Continental Americas title on October 2, 1991. Parker continued to move up in weight class, fighting at cruiserweight and eventually heavyweight class in 1995.

[1] He attempted a comeback in 2012 losing to Rodney Hernandez by a unanimous decision.
