Shannon Briggs!
Shannon was a perennial heavyweight title contender throughout his professional boxing career. He had memorable matches with champions such as George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, and Vitali Klitschko. Briggs is known for confronting other professional fighters in public places in order to entice them to fight. His catchphrase became, “Let’s go champ!” Numerous confrontations with Vladimir Klitschko and Deontey Wilder drew huge views on the internet.
Shannon Briggs (born December 4, 1971) is an American professional boxer. A veteran of the sport since 1992, he has held a world heavyweight championship twice, including the lineal title from 1997 to 1998, and the WBO title from 2006 to 2007. Briggs is known for his formidable punching power and aggression, possessing an 88.3% knockout-to-win percentage with 37 knockout wins in the first round. Undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis stated in 2015 that Briggs had the fastest hands and best punching power of any opponent he ever faced.[1] He holds notable wins over heavyweight champions; George Foreman, Ray Mercer and Siarhei Liakhovich.
Briggs was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn. For a period in his childhood he was homeless.[2] In 1983, when Briggs was 12, he saw Mike Tyson in Bristol Park, Brooklyn, New York. Briggs’ friends called out, “Here comes Mike.” Briggs said he was too scared to run and that seeing Tyson that day “changed his life.” [3] At age 17, Briggs began training at Jimmy O’Pharrow’s Starrett City Boxing Club in Brooklyn, NY. He was diagnosed with asthma as a child.[citation needed] Briggs’ mother died in Brownsville due to a heroin overdose on December 4, 1996, Briggs’ 25th birthday.[4]
Coached by James O’Farrell, Briggs got his start at the Starrett City Boxing Club.[5] Briggs competed mainly in heavyweight division (201 lbs,) he became New York City Golden Gloves champion, New York State Champion, National P.A.L. Champion and finished second at the Pan American Games in 1991, stepping into the finals on several byes, thus gaining a silver medal already without a single fight, though losing the final to Félix Savón.[6] In 1992 he became the United States Amateur Champion. Along with two national titles in heavyweight was the winner of the 1991 Daily News Golden Gloves superheavyweight title.[7] By December 1991 he was ranked third nationally in his class.[8]
As an amateur he sparred with Phil Jackson, who was a pro at that time, preparing to fight Razor Ruddock.[9] Brigg’s lawyer and adviser (equivalent of pro’s manager) at that time was Mike Marley, the ex-Post boxing writer.[9] Marley later managed Briggs as a professional.
Briggs began his career in 1992 and was undefeated in his first 25 fights, and was trained by Teddy Atlas.[citation needed] He suffered his first loss when he was knocked out in three rounds by undefeated Darroll Wilson in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1996. The fight was broadcast on HBO and was a showcase of young heavyweight fighters.[10]
On May 21, 2017, it was reported that Briggs had failed a drug test. He tested positive for ‘dramatically increased levels of testosterone’. It was revealed that Briggs’ collected sample had almost 8 times the regular amount of testosterone for a man of his age and weight.[55] It was said that the fight would be called off, although no official decision was made. The sample was taken on May 14 and tested on May 16. It was also said that the fight was likely to be postponed after Briggs promoters failed to secure TV rights for the fight.[56] A day later, Hitz Boxing and The Heavyweight Factory announced the fight was officially off and they would not reschedule a new date.[57]
On July 20, 2017, Briggs was suspended for six months by the WBA and is expected to lose his #3 position in the WBA rankings. He will also likely drop out of the top 15.[58][59]
On March 5, 2019 Briggs announced he would be coming to the UK for a number of ‘meet and greets’.[60] Briggs told Sky Sports that he would be applying for a British boxing license in order to fight in the UK. He claimed he had licensing in the US and would likely appear on Tyson Fury’s undercard on June 15 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Nevada.[61][62] On May 15, 2020 Briggs told Dame Dash on Instagram Live that he and Mike Tyson will fight in an exhibition. The preferred date and location is July 4, 2020 at the Statue of Liberty. [63]
