Larry Holmes turned pro in 1973 and gained valuable experience while sparring with heavyweight champions Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. A win over hard-punching Earnie Shavers garnered Holmes a WBC title go with Ken Norton on June 9, 1978. In one of the great heavyweight title bouts of all-time, Holmes won the title via 15-round decision. Behind his signature left jab, an impressive string of seventeen defenses followed, including wins over Mike Weaver, Shavers, Scott LeDoux, Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks, Trevor Berbick, “Tex” Cobb and a much-hyped bout with Gerry Cooney. In 1982, Ring magazine named Holmes “Fighter of the Year.” He relinquished the WBC strap in 1983 and accepted recognition from the newly formed International Boxing Federation (IBF) as champion. Three successful title defenses followed James “Bonecrusher” Smith, David Bey, and Carl “The Truth” Williams before losing the title to Michael Spinks on September 21, 1985. Following a disputed loss in the rematch, Holmes retired. He returned to the ring to challenge for the title three times, against Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Oliver McCall. In 2002 Holmes hung up the gloves for good with a 69-6 (44 KOs) record. A successful businessman, Holmes owns and operates a variety of business ventures in Easton.
