Ebo Elder, (born December 23, 1978 in Newnan, Georgia), is a professional boxer. He is a former WBO NABO Lightweight titleholder, and has also held the IBA Continental Light Welterweight Title as well as the WBO Inter-Continental Light Welterweight Title.
Ebo began boxing at the age of eight. He had a long amateur career with 139 wins before turning professional in 2000, amassing 16 wins before his first loss. His biggest victory was over contender Oscar Diaz. In his last fight before joining the ESPN reality show, "Contender Season 2", he lost via 12th round TKO to former title holder Lakva Sim.
Now a born-again Christian, Elder devotes his time away from the ring traveling the country and ministering. He uses his boxing fame to share his beliefs.
