Dohonna Malik Scott (born October 16, 1980 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American Heavyweight boxer.[1]

Amateur career

Scott started boxing at the age of 11 and had a stellar amateur career. In 1997, he won the Junior Olympics Championships and in 1998, Scott won the American Boxing Classic title and the "Under-19" Junior World Championships crown.

He won the National AAU Heavyweight Championship in 1999 defeating world champ Michael Bennett and Jason Estrada in the process. In 2000 he beat DaVarryl Williamson and Malcolm Tann but lost to Estrada at the trials and then Bennett in the Olympic box-offs and therefore did not qualify. His record was 70–3.

Professional career

Scott turned professional in 2000 and has only one defeat to his name. His wins include former amateur star Terry McGroom and journeymen David Bostice and Louis Monaco, he took a big step up in early 2007 and defeated former contender Charles Shufford.

He did not fight between December 2008 and the beginning of 2012, due to an bicep injury. He has since recovered from the injury and made a comebak in early 2012.[2][3] He is currently being trained by boxing Hall of Fame trainer Jesse Reid & promoted by Goossen-Tutor with Dan Goossen as his promoter.[4][5] Malik Scoot was scheduled to fight on the Paul Williams vs. Nobuhiro Ishida undercard at the American Bank Center, Corpus Christi, Texas. The fight took place on February 18, 2012. The opponent was heavyweight journeyman Kendrick Releford.[6] It marked Malik Scott's first return to the boxing ring, more than three years after his last fight. It was the second time Scott faced Releford in his career, as they fought back in January 2006. As the case for their first fight, Malik Scott also this time won by unanimous decision.

Scott's second fight in 2012 was on June 23, 2012 at Sportsmen's Lodge, Studio City, California. He faced off against the Mexican heavyweight boxer, Alvaro Morales. Scott won by a unanimous decision. He won by 60–54 on all three scirecards.[7] Scott then fought on the undercard of Andre Ward vs. Chad Dawson on September 8, 2012 at the Oracle Arena, Oakland, California. It was against Tongan heavyweight contender Bowie Tupou. Scott won the fight by an 8 round TKO.[8] On January 10, 2013 it was announced that Malik Scott will face of against unbeaten heavyweight contender Vyacheslav Glazkov. The date for the bout will be February 23, 2013. The fight will take place at the Paramount Theatre, Huntington, New York. NBC Sports Network will broadcast the fight.[9]
