Marvin Camel Biography

Marvin Camel is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on December 24, 1951 in Montana, United States. He was defeated in his final fight in June 1990 to Eddie “Young Joe Louis” Taylor in Minneapolis. The 10-round fight made his record for the entire time 45-13-5.

The month of December was when D’Ambrosio as well as Camel were at the 52nd annual World Boxing Convention.

Born on the Flathead Reservation to a Native American mother and African American father, Camel’s physical talents became obvious early in his life — and point to a path that could take him away from the poverty and isolation and racism that shape his childhood. D’Ambrosio looks at Camel’s early life, the departure of his father, and the place the Camel children had as mixed- race residents on the reservation. He examines the constructs of identity and takes them as a starting point for his story, built from years of interviews with Camel, his friends and family, and members of the boxing community.

He is the subject of a biography released in December 2014, titled ‘Warrior in the Ring’ by Brian D’Ambrosio. The book was nominated for the High Plains Book Award and several other awards. “Boxer Marvin Camel’s life story and “Warrior in the Ring” are the stuff Hollywood movies are made of,” said Big Sky Journal.

In 2006, during the 44th World Boxing Council annual meeting, WBC President José Sulaiman presented Camel an honorary champion title.

Marvin Camel (born December 24 1951) is a boxer who is a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation in Northwestern Montana. Born in Ronan and fought from Missoula. It was his first man to be recognized as the cruiserweight boxing champion in all of the globe by two separate professional sanctioning bodies.

Camel defeated Mate Parlov of Yugoslavia to draw the very first cruiserweight world title fight. In the rematch, which took place in Las Vegas, Camel beat Mate Parlov to win an unclaimed WBC World Cruiserweight title in the year

1980. However, he ended up winning the crown in his debut defense against Carlos De Leon. Following a loss in the rematch against De Leon, he became in 1983 the first world champion of the IBF after beating Roddy McDonald. He became the world champion in the cruiserweight division twice when the organization’s title was claimed by him. He was defeated by Lee Roy Murphy.

But Camel’s story isn’t just a feel-good, “boy from a small state and a rough background makes good” tale. The trajectory of Camel’s career brought him into contact with some of the greatest names in the sport — and with some of the biggest conmen and villains trying to make money off the drama and danger. D’Ambrosio doesn’t flinch away from the ugliness of life on the reservation as a mixed blood, the brutality of life in the boxing ring, or disillusionment about life after a career has slipped away. Nor does the story end with regret. Camel now lives with his second wife in Florida where he works in landscaping. But he will live on forever in the lore and history of Montana.
