Dewey Cooper (born November 10, 1974) is an American kickboxer and boxer who competes in the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions. After becoming a two-time world champion in 2000 by taking the WKC heavyweight and WKF cruiserweight titles, he would go on to become a regular competitor in the K-1 promotion's US events. The closest he would come to promotional gold was when he lost out to Michael McDonald in the final of the K-1 World Grand Prix 2004 in Las Vegas I.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Cooper started practicing Muay Thai as a youngster and began training under Nick "One Kick" Blomgren at One Kick's Gym in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1994.
After making a name for himself on the American circuit by racking up a record of 15-2 (10 KOs), winning the USMTF and UKC national titles in the process, his services were recruited by K-1, the world's premier kickboxing organization. Debuting on January 22, 1999 at K-1 The Challenge '99 in Tokyo, Japan, Cooper was knocked out in the second round by Tsuyoshi Nakasako. Despite this setback, he went on to have a break-out year in 2000 when he won the WKC World Heavyweight Championship and WKF World Cruiserweight Championship. He also faced the legendary and recently un-retired Don "The Dragon" Wilson for the ISKA North American Cruiserweight (-88.2 kg/194.4 lb) Full Contact Championship at the MGM Grand Las Vegas on March 17, 2000, losing out via majority decision after ten rounds.
