Professional career

The first fight of southpaw Joey Abell's professional career was marred when his opponent, Ritchie Goosehead, fell through the ropes and landed on the cement. The fight was ruled a no-contest.^[1] Abell avenged this result by knocking Goosehead out in his second professional fight about a month later.^[2] Abell remained undefeated through ten bouts, then he was KOd by Aaron Lyons at the Blue Horizon in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As of May 16, 2009, Abell's professional record was 24 wins (23 by knockout), 4 losses, no draws, and 1 no contest.^[3]

Abell defeated his first notable opponent in undefeated Teke Oruh of Nigeria, on points, in a fight televised on Showtime on November 16, 2007. Abell then defeated Billy Willis by third round TKO.^[4] In 2008 he went on to lose a string of bouts, including a loss to faded former champion Alfred Cole. In January 2011 Abell was knocked out in the first round by heavyweight contender Chris Arreola.^[5]
