Adonis Stevenson (born 22 September 1977) is a Canadian boxer who was born in Haiti, who goes by the nickname "Superman".
Stevenson is currently the WBC Continental Americas super middleweight title holder, and the Canadian super middleweight title holder. On August 1, 2008, at Windsor Station in Montreal, Canada, Stevenson defeated Anthony Bonsante by first round knockout. The two fighters came out of their corners for the fight with Bonsante launching the first attack, but just moments after the assault, Stevenson landed a left hand that sent Bonsante down to the canvas. Bonsante sprawled out on the canvas with his eyes closed, while the referee reached the count of six before stopping the fight. Bonsante had begun to get up at the count of six, but it was too late, leaving Bonsante livid with the decision as he chased the referee around the ring in an attempt to protest the decision, but to little avail.[1][2]
Stevenson competed in the XVIII Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia in 2006 and won the silver medal losing to Australian, Jarrod Fletcher in the final. It was also the only medal a Canadian boxer received at the games.
He has a record of 33-5 in amateur contests.
In his first fight in the United States, he lost by second round TKO to journeyman Darnell Boone.
