De Mori briefly boxed as an amateur, taking 11 fights, and made his professional debut at age 22, racking up a 6-0-1 record (with 5 knockouts) until he was stopped in the 1st round of 6 by John Wyborn. De Mori took a year and a half off from boxing, returning to the ring with a new trainer in February of 2006 to accumulate another 5 wins and 1 draw, with 5 more knockouts. As of his 14th bout, all of de Mori's matches have been in Australia or New Zealand, but he intends to box in the US once he has solid ties to American promoters.In 2007 de Mori signed a three year deal with American promoter Don King. On April 11 2008, in Auckland New Zealand, de Mori scored a one sided eight round unanimous decision over American Ed Mahone. Mahone , a former world title challenger, was a big favourite going into the fight.
