Tom Collins is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on July 1, 1955 in Curaçao, Curaçao, United Kingdom. Tom Collins (born 1 July 1955) is British former boxer who held the British and European light heavyweight titles and fought for three world titles.
In October 1989 Collins travelled to Australia to challenge Jeff Harding for the WBC world light-heavyweight title. After two rounds in which the fighters had traded heavy blows, Collins failed to come out for the third. Collins’ $25,000 purse was initially withheld but was paid the following month.
In August 1990 Collins regained the European title with a ninth round knockout of Eric Nicoletta. He successfully defended the title in December 1990 against Christophe Girard, and in May 1991 fought Leeonzer Barber for the vacant WBO world light-heavyweight title; Collins retired at the start of the sixth round.
His next four fights included three losses and one draw, but in August 1993 he challenged Johnny Nelson for the World Boxing Federation world cruiserweight title; Nelson stopped him in the first round. This was Collins’ final professional fight.
In November 1987 he challenged for Alex Blanchard’s EBU European title, winning via a second round stoppage to become European champion. Collins was due to fight Charles Williams for the IBF world light-heavyweight title in February 1988, but the fight was called off by promoter Frank Warren due to the IBF’s insistence that it should be fought over 15 rounds, with the BBBofC refusing to sanction a fight of more than 12 rounds. The first defence of his European title came in May 1988 against Mark Kaylor. Collins knocked Kaylor out in the ninth round. Collins lost the European title in September when he was stopped in the seventh round by Pedro van Raamsdonk.
