Adonis Stevenson, born on September 22, 1977, in Haiti, is a Haitian Canadian former professional boxer celebrated for his electrifying knockout power and lightning-fast hand speed. Nicknamed “Superman,” he held the WBC, Ring magazine, and lineal light-heavyweight titles from 2013 to 2018. Stevenson’s iconic first-round knockout of Chad Dawson earned him Fighter of the Year and Knockout of the Year honors in 2013. Over a stellar career, he made ten successful title defenses, dominating the division. Tragically, his career ended in 2018 due to a life-threatening brain injury against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, cementing his legacy as a fearless champion.
