Tyrone Trice is a retired American boxer who competed in the Welterweight and Middleweight divisions from 1983 to 1996. He is a one-time IBC Middleweight champion and WBA Americas Welterweight champion. Trice also competed for the IBF Welterweight and WBO Middleweight titles.[1][2]

Professional career in Welterweight Division

Trice quickly rose through the ranks, winning his first twelve fights before a shock first round KO loss to Freddie Pendleton.[3] After continuing to win many fights via knockout, Trice became the number two contender for the vacant IBF Welterweight title. A title match with number one contender Simon Brown took place at the Palais des sports in Berck-sur-Mer, France on the 23rd of April, 1988. Trice was dominant in the fight early on, knocking down Brown in the second round. However, he eventually tired through the later rounds and Brown was able to wear Trice down. Trice was knocked down three times in the 12th round and was finally defeated via knockout in the 14th round.

After the loss, Trice recovered and won a series of tune-up fights before defeating Kevin Pompey for the WBA Americas Welterweight Title. A rematch was then fought between Trice and Brown. As with the first contest, it was a close and entertaining fight with Brown prevailing again. After this loss, Trice decided to compete in the Middleweight division.

Professional career in Middleweight Division

In his first Middleweight bout, Trice defeated Rafael Williams to win the vacant IBC Light-Middleweight Title. After an impressive third round TKO victory over undefeated Nestor Maciel to defend the title, Trice challenged John David Jackson for the WBO Light-Middleweight title. Trice took Jackson to the full twelve rounds but Jackson was well in control throughout the match, staggering Trice several times in the fight and winning via unanimous decision. Trice was then defeated again two months later in a ninth round TKO by Julio Cesar Vasquez.

Feud with James Toney

Rumours began circulating that a matchup between Trice and multiple Middleweight champion James Toney would take place between late 1992 to early 1993.[4] After an easy round one TKO victory over Ron Collins for which Toney was present in the ringside audience, Trice seized the microphone from announcer Wally Jackson after he was declared the victor. After insulting then WBO Middleweight Champion Gerald McClellan (who Trice claimed backed out of a title bout against him), Trice challenged Toney to a $50,000 bet that he would defeat him before 10 rounds at any time of Toney's choosing. Toney, angry at Trice's words, entered the ring and challenged Trice to a fight then and there. Trice approached Toney but was then escorted out of the ring by his ring crew and the referee.[5]

Ultimately the much anticipated match between Trice and Toney never materialized due to a number of disputes between both camps regarding money, the venue where the bout should take place and several other factors.

End of Career

Trice's career would begin to decline from late 1992 until his retirement, losing several fights which included losses to Thomas Tate and Joe Lipsey. He also did not participate in any further title matches. His final match took place on the 18th of February 1996, where he defeated the unrated Gary Jones in a fourth round knockout. He retired shortly after. He continues to reside in his hometown of Milwaukee today.[6]
