Shane Sutcliffe

Shane Sutcliffe

Canadian boxer Shane Sutcliffe ( born on June 17, 1975 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada) is a former Canadian boxing champion. He is referred to as "Kid Thunder" by his fans.

Career

He was raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada and then moved to Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada at the age of 13.

After winning 22 "Toughman Contests", he made his professional boxing debut in 1992 at the age of 17. His first fight resulted in a sixth round decision victory over Joe Wade. Shortly afterwards, he moved to Los Angeles, CA and eventually Las Vegas, Nevada, to train with the legendary Eddie Futch.

In 1997, he moved to and fought out of Montreal, Quebec, Canada after signing a contract with International Boxing Management Interbox. On April 3, 1998, he defeated Ben Perlini via sixth round knockout to win the Canadian Heavyweight championship.

In his third defense of the title on February 5, 1999, he lost via 12th round TKO to former World titleholder Trevor Berbick in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. His contract was then dropped by Interbox as a result.

He challenged Berbick again for the title on May 26, 2000 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. However, he dropped a close 12 round unanimous decision in that contest.

Sutcliffe took over 2 years off from boxing to start a family after losing to fellow Canadian Patrice L'Heureux on November 30, 2001. After the addition of a young daughter, Sutcliffe worked construction to provide a steadier source of income for his new family.

However, he returned to the sport in 2004, dropping decisions to Wesley Martin and Louis Monaco. As of 2005, he lives in Nanaimo with his family and trains out of there with Don Arnott, a local kickboxing sensei.

He is what is termed a "journeyman" fighter, one who "journeys" to a variety of places (often on short notice) to provide relatively easy competition for up-and-coming prospects or fading former champions. He counts Tyrell Biggs, Leon Spinks, Trevor Berbick, Oleg Maskaev, Brian Nielsen, and David Tua amongst the many opponents he has faced throughout his career.

As of the beginning of 2006, his ring record stands at 25 wins (15 knockouts), 14 loses, and one draw in 40 professional contests.
