Carl Davis (boxer) (born November 16, 1973, in Chicago, Illinois) is a retired cruiserweight and heavyweight boxer, and former USBO Cruiserweight champion. Davis was trained at one time by Sam Colonna and renowned American sports and fitness trainer John Schaeffer.
Davis attended Percy Lavon Julian High School in Chicago. Davis won the Chicago Golden Gloves Novice Heavyweight Championship in 2000 by knocking out all opponents in the first round. Davis won the Chicago Golden Gloves Open Heavyweight Championship in 2002 by knocking out the first two opponents, decisioned regional champion William Terry in the semifinal, and decisioned defending champion Russell Felger in the final round. Davis traveled to London, England, in 2002 and decisioned British amateur heavyweight champion Brian Robinson, in a United States versus Great Britain competition.
Davis turned pro in the heavyweight division on April 25, 2003, with a 38 second knockout of Michael Shanks in Rosemont, Illinois. He compiled a record of 14-3 as a heavyweight. Under Schaefer's tutelage and guidance, Davis converted over thirty-five pounds to muscle mass, and returned to the ring as a cruiserweight. On Friday, December 17, 2010, at UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Davis won the vacant USBO Cruiserweight title with a ten round unanimous decision over former world cruiserweight champion 'King' Arthur Williams (boxer). Bout scoring was 97-93, 96-93, 96-93 for Davis. Davis returned to fighting at heavyweight above 200 pounds and made a successful comeback on September 9, 2012, at the Hammond Civic Center in Indiana with a second record stoppage of former number one heavyweight contender Bert Cooper after knocking Cooper down for a count of nine. A second comeback attempt by Davis on November 16, 2012, ended in failure when he was stopped in the first round by an overweight 12-0 Richard Carmack of Kansas City, Missouri, who outweighed the 231 pound Davis by 91 pounds. In June 2013, a third comeback attempt failed in Las Vegas against 18-0 heavyweight contender Andy Ruiz of Mexico. In December 2014, Davis failed in a third comeback attempt against MMA fighter Joshua Tufte, ending his career for good.
