Nicholas Walters (born January 4, 1986) is an undefeated Jamaican professional boxer and the current WBA (Super) World Featherweight Champion.

Personal life

Born in Montego Bay, Walters attended the Roehampton Primary and Anchovy High School.[1] Walters is nicknamed "The Axe Man".[2] He is the son of former boxer Job Walters.[1] He began boxing at the age of ten and had his first professional fight at the age of 22 against Estaban Ramos of Panama.[1]

Professional career

Walters captured the WBA Fedelatin title in 2009, and successfully defended it four times.[1] He won the vacant WBA (Regular) World Featherweight title on December 8, 2012, against Colombian Daulis Prescott during the annual KO Drugs Festival in Jamaica,[3] via seventh round knockout.[3] Making good on his prediction of a knockout in either the 5th or 6th round,[4] Walters defeated Nonito Donaire on October 18, 2014, by technical knockout in the 6th round to capture the WBA World Featherweight Championship. He was promoted to Super Champion status in February 2015.[5]
