Boxer Deonte Walker is excited to bring home silver belt

Just finished our 17th pro boxing show in Saint Paul MN and learned a fun fact talking to an old timer! Being a boxing town, with a lot of talent and history, I asked him who he thought the best boxer ever to come out of Saint Paul Minnesota? "I'm old and don't talk much like the rest of 'em" he said, "but no doubt, Tommy Gibbons." So I looked him up... learn something every day.

Place of birth: Saint Paul
Professional record: 56-4-1, 48 KOs (40-1-3, newspaper decisions)

Notes: The city of Saint Paul boasts a proud boxing tradition, and although Tommy Gibbons never won a world title, he’s a worthy entrant for the state of Minnesota. Gibbons faced the best from his era, leapfrogging from middleweight right up to heavyweight, and he’s the only man to last the 15-round distance with ring immortal Jack Dempsey. The other fighters who managed to best Gibbons? Harry Greb, Billy Miske and Gene Tunney — with Tunney being the only man to knock Gibbons out.

Although he went the distance with Dempsey, befuddling the champion with slick boxing and defense, he failed to muster any significant offense. In BoxRec’s encyclopedia entry for Gibbons, you’ll note that a disappointing live gate led to the three banks of Shelby, Montana, going belly-up to cover Dempsey’s purse, leaving nothing for Gibbons. In other words, Gibbons, a truly great fighter, had to settle for the most harrowing of moral victories.

Deonte Walker puts in the real work and has become one of South Dakota's most accomplished professional boxers. Walker brought glory home when he won the WBA NABA Silver Title on June 27th defeating Fredrick Lawson (31-6). Lawson is a former WBC International Silver, IBF International Welter, IBF African Welter, West African Welter Champion who had recent losses to world champion Vergil Ortiz Jr, world title challenger Giovani Santillan and Alexis Rocha. Walker was up 90-81, pitching a shutout on 2 judge's cards at the time of the stoppage late in the 10th round. Walker is now 23-1 with 22 KO.

Gym 'losses' propel Walker to WBA NABA silver title SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Boxer Deonte “Slzzp” Walker added another big win to his resume on June 27.
