These wins included a fight in which he defeated future champion Montell Griffin by SD to win the NABF Light Heavyweight Title on Nov 13, 1998 and a unanimous decision over then undefeated contender Antonio Tarver on June 23, 2000. His streak came to an end when he fought Roy Jones, Jr. for the WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO Light Heavyweight Titles on Sept. 9, 2000.
