Tony Wilson is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on April 25, 1964 in Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. Born in Wolverhampton in 1964, Wilson had a successful career as an amateur, winning two ABA titles and representing the UK at the 1984 Summer Olympics, where he reached the quarter finals.
He beat Steve McCarthy in controversial circumstances in September 1989. McCarthy knocked Wilson down in the third round. Looking to finish the fight with Wilson on the ropes, the fight was stopped when Wilson’s 62-year-old mother climbed into the ring and started attacking McCarthy with her shoe; Wilson’s corner man also entered the ring. McCarthy believed he had won and left the ring, but bizarrely referee Adrian Morgan insisted that the fight should continue. McCarthy refused (the injury caused by Wilson’s mother required four stitches) and Wilson was declared the winner by technical knockout. A riot ensued and Wilson’s mother had to be dragged from the ring by her hair by a security guard; McCarthy returned to the ring but only to calm the crowd. A BBBofC enquiry upheld the result but ordered a rematch, but McCarthy pulled out, suffering from flu.
In December 1987, he once again met Logsdon for the vacant British title. After six rounds, the fight was stopped due to cuts over Logsdon’s eye. Wilson made his first defence in May 1988 against Brian Schumacher. Wilson was knocked down in the first round but recovered to stop Schumacher in the sixth. He made a second defence against Schumacher in January 1989, this time winning in three rounds to take the Lonsdale Belt outright. His third defence came two months later against Tom Collins. Collins stopped Wilson in the second round to take the title — only Wilson’s second defeat.
