Michael Clark (b. July 10, 1973, Columbus, Ohio) is a professional boxer. He has twice won the IBC lightweight title. Known as "Cold Blood", he has also held the NABF lightweight title, and been a challenger for the WBO title.
Product of a single-parent home, he grew up in Columbus, Ohio. He began boxing at age 7, and soon became accomplished within the amateur ring. His boxing coach, Matthew Voltolini, adopted him as a son at age 12. By the time he was 19, Michael had turned professional, with a 6-year 24-0 record, when his first loss came from Artur Grigorian in a WBO lightweight title match.
On the ESPN reality show Contender Season 2, Clark volunteered to be the captain of the Gold Team and the first member of his team to box. He fought Cornelius Bundrage in a four round match. The match was close, but Bundrage won the fifth round on a majority.
