Cory Spinks is the son of Leon Spinks, former heavyweight champion, and the nephew of Michael Spinks. He won in first major title in March of 2002, when he defeated Michele Piccirillo by unanimous decision.
Undisputed Welterweight Champion
Spinks rose to boxing stardom by unifying the welterweight division on December 13, 2003, when he defeated Ricardo Mayorga by majority decision. In his first title defense on April 10, 2004, Spinks controlled the action against former world champion Zab Judah over the first four rounds. In the later rounds, however, Judah's quick left hands began to find their target. Both men hit the deck late, but all three scorecards favored Spinks as the champion won 116-111 and 114-112 (twice). He later lost his titles when he was TKO'd by Judah in their February 2005 rematch in front of a hometown crowd in St. Louis, Missouri. He has not fought since the loss to Judah.
Spinks is currently scheduled to fight Roman Karmazin on July 8, 2006.
