John Dino Denis, born on 22 April 1951, is an American Boxer.[1] His first professional boxing fight came at the age of 21, in 1972.
Boxing career[edit]
John Dino Denis started his career by fighting boxer Henry Lawson three times (winning all three). His star rose with 25 more wins (and 1 draw against Obie English), including a first round knockout of Humphrey McBride. His winning streak was ended by legendary heavyweight George Foreman, who defeated John by a 4th round TKO. Denis stunned ringside fans and a national television audience on CBS meeting Foreman's pre-fight "Listonesque" stare with an equally threatening intensity.[2] He fought Foreman on equal terms, stunning the former champion with several punches in the second round but a vicious body assault by Foreman took Dino's legs away in the third. Foreman's power prevailed in the next round and the fight was stopped. His next fight also resulted in a loss against Leroy Jones. However, he won his next 7 fights, defeating boxers such as Charlie Polite, Jerry Thompkins, and others. Although, his 7 win streak was again cut short, this time to another boxer with devastating punching power, Gerry Cooney, whom he lost to by 3rd round TKO. He attempted another win streak, this time lasting 9 fights, before he lost two fights in a row against Donnie Long and Joe Bugner. His last two fights ended in 1 win and 1 draw. Overall, he amassed an impressive record of 45 wins (20 by knockout), 5 losses, and 2 draws.[3]
