Sharmba David Mitchell (born August 27, 1970) is an American former professional boxer who held the WBA and IBF (interim) light welterweight titles.
Sharmba` Mitchell started boxing at eight years old in 1978, at Round One Boxing gym in Hyattsville, Maryland. He ended his amateur career with a record of 157 wins and 7 losses.
Graduated in 1988 from Northwestern High School, Adelphi, Md.
Attended Howard University, 1990-1991
University of Maryland, College Park 1991-1994
Mitchell began his professional boxing career on September 23, 1988, knocking out Eddie Colón in three rounds at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
He had a mark of 14 wins and no losses with seven knockouts - including victories over former Olympic Games bronze medalist Aristides Acevedo and over Dana Roston - when he met a former or future world champion for the first time inside a ring. On March 8, 1990, he beat the famed former world champion Rafael Limón in Atlantic City by an eight-round unanimous decision, but he endured what was probably an embarrassing moment for him when Limón stripped Mitchell of his trunks during round seven. The fight was televised in the United States, and the pants-pulling moment made it into a number of blooper videos.
Mitchell kept on winning, running his record up to 27-0 with sixteen knockouts, including a victory against former world title challenger Miguel Santana. He then fought former world champion Rocky Lockridge on April 22, 1992, winning a ten-round unanimous decision.
