Zabdiel "Zab" Judah (born October 27, 1977) is an American professional boxer. He is a four-time former world champion in two weight classes, having held the IBF light welterweight title twice, from 2000 to 2001, and in 2011; the WBO light welterweight title from 2003 to 2004; and the undisputed welterweight title in 2005, which included a reign as the lineal welterweight champion from 2005 to 2006.
Judah began boxing at the age of six and compiled an amateur record of 110–5. He was a two-time US national champion and three-time New York Golden Gloves Champion. He also won the 1996 PAL National Championship. Judah beat Ishe Smith and Hector Camacho, Jr., but lost to David Díaz in the finals of the Olympic trials, thus failing to qualify for the Olympic boxing team.
Judah made his professional debut as an 18-year-old on September 20, 1996, in Miami, Florida and defeated Michael Johnson by technical knockout in the second round. Judah accidentally butted heads with Esteban Flores in a fight in March 1999. Flores was cut on his forehead, and the match was halted in the third round. The bout was originally recorded as a technical draw, but the result was changed to a no contest in May 1998. On April 14, 1998, Judah defeated Angel Beltre in the second round.
Judah then defeated Micky Ward by unanimous decision for the USBA Light Welterweight title. He successfully defended the USBA title by stopping Darryl Tyson in the eleventh round on October 15, 1998.
