Eddie White
In May 2000, Eddie White was stabbed to death outside a pub in Northampton. His sister, June Gulley, spoke to the Black History Project about Eddie and the outpouring of grief Northampton witnessed on the day of his funeral

His last four fights:

2005-12-10 174½ Karl Willis 172 25-18-1
Club O Arena, Harvey, IL, USA W TKO 2 6
~ Time: 1:35 | Referee: Matthew Podgorski | Judge: Jerry Jakubco | Judge: Ted Gimza | Judge: Bernard Hightower ~

1997-05-30 169 Reggie Strickland 164 39-152-10
Ramada Inn, Rosemont, IL, USA W KO 1 8
Earlier in the year, White's IBO title was declared vacant as Eddie White was sentenced to time in jail. White took this bout as a last chance to box before the start of serving his sentence.

1997-04-26 170 Jose Alvarez 162 0-1-1
Hawthorne Park, Cicero, IL, USA W TKO 1 8
~ Time: 1:21 ~

1996-11-27 166½ Dwight Davison 166½ 44-7-0
Ramada Inn, Rosemont, IL, USA W UD 12 12


Note Strickland's record! Still Dwight Davison was no slouch and he beat him in 1996. Now I am getting curious about this guy. Hell, I fought in Cicero in the 50's.

that makes sense, i figured he had to be in jail or something, whenever you see a guywalk away with a 19-0n record its usually something out of his controll that made that happen


i hope he didnt loose too much ability ehile he was away

36 years old may be too long in the tooth for him, but we will see. Still, 19-0 is as good as it gets.
