Howard Anthony Eastman, a Guyanese/British former professional fighter who competed between 1994 and 2014. He was a challenger twice for the middleweight world championships.

After putting together a 31-0 record (28 knockouts), he was able to fight Robert McCracken for his vacant European title. McCracken had previously challenged Keith Holmes for WBC’s world title in 2001.
