Ka-Dy King actually Vernese Duskin (* 7. July 1966 in Detroit , United States of America ) is a retired American boxer in the heavyweight , who with Dariusz Michalczewski , Montell Griffin , Carlos Dale, O'Neil Bell and Charles Davis fought against potential top opponents and was therefore in the spotlight for years.

Career

Amateur career

In his amateur career he played about 100 fights, of which he won 85, lost 13 and left two in a draw.

Professional career

King made his professional debut on June 25, 1990 against Brian Noel in his only professional fight. He was able to knock this down in the first minute of the first round with a lightning knockout and thus dominate.

Just five fights later, he challenged the eventual world champion Montell Griffin in his seventh professional fight. Griffin played at will with King and won the fight unanimously after six unspectacular rounds. Already in the first round it became apparent that the physically better and significantly more trained Griffin would win the fight, although King never missed an opportunity to land effective hits with strong swingers.

King then defeated other opponents, mostly with a hard right, until he was allowed to challenge after several victories against well-known opponents with Dariusz Michalczewski , the undefeated world champion according to the version of the WBO , WBA and IBF . For a long time he refused to fight against the underrated boxing king, as he could not defeat any known opponent in his career. Then King defeated Joe Harris and Melvyn Winn and was then able to knock out the favored Carlos Bates in the first round, whereupon King moved up from 34th place in the WBO world rankings directly to 13th place. But Michalczewski could never be dangerous. So the world champion played with him at will, had him on the ground in the first round and was able to send him to the ground three times in the seventh round and thus defeat the fight by TKO in round seven. Although King was able to land repeated impact hits with his dreaded right hook, it was usually inconvenient and missed. Despite the embarrassing defeat, King did not want to comment on a career end at the time.

He suffered two more defeats, but still challenged former WBC world champion O'Neil Bell . King showed a brilliant performance against Bell. In the second round he even had Bell on the ground, but Bell won the fight unanimously after twelve rounds. King himself felt cheated and described Bell as a point thief. However, from the point of view of many critics, Bell won the fight. King was able to attack again with his dangerous right and hit more clearly, but was increasingly harassed by the intensity of his opponent's blow.

After this fight King knocked out the unknown Rodney Moore in round one, but then had to admit defeat in two fights against the world class traded Charles Davis. There, too, King shone with heavy hits, but was exposed to the light-footedness and punch of his seven years younger opponent with almost no chance. Although King said after this fight that his career was not over, he has not played a single fight since.
