Antonio Deon Tarver, born on November 21st in Orlando, Florida is a U.S. Olympic Bronze-Medalist, Philanthropist, Podcast Host, Actor, Boxing commentator and Former U.S. National Gold-Medal winning Boxer.
Antonio made his professional debut with his first fight with Joaquin Garcia at the legendary Blue Horizon boxing Venue in Philadelphia in 1997. Throughout his first 16 fights of his career, which he’s all won, with an impressive feat of 14 out of 16 of those fights being won by knockout-Tarver quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world and had so many eyes on him from Florida... All the way to the local boxing hub in Philadelphia.
In April of 2003, Tarver was placed in a bout against Montel Griffin, who at the time, was the reigning WBC and IBF light-heavyweight champion. After about a full hour in the ring, 12 rounds and after successfully flooring Griffin in the 1st and 12th rounds of the fight, Antonio was crowned the new champion after a unanimous decision.
In May of 2004 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Antonio did something that would surprise many... He was set to do a rematch with Roy Jones Jr where he not only regained the WBC title, but also knocked RJJ out in the 2nd round-Where Jones had only been knocked out once in the then 50-fight entirety of his boxing career.
Fast forwarding to 2006 after Antonio had become a household name after defeating Roy Jones, he appeared on the covers of iconic boxing Magazines such as The Ring and KO. He was also given the opportunity to be casted as Mason “The Line” Dixon in the Rocky Balboa installment of the film’s franchise that was released the same year.
Antonio has since then gone on to be a boxing analyst for Showtime Championship Boxing, a spectator at some of the world’s most memorable boxing events and being a co-host on Friday Night Fights.
Thank you to Antonio for stopping by the I Am Athlete studio to share his perspective on all things life and giving us insight on his past that built the resilient, brute force of nature that he is.
Happy Early Birthday & Happy Scorpio SZN to you as well!

One of the most underrated ever. That term is overused but not in Tarver's case
He was real good but not great reason he always needed a second chance in his biggest fights🤷🏽♂️
Magic Man should be commentating He is one of the best out there. He call the fight and makes it relatable to the casual fan
Can't believe this gem has only 10k of views... Thank you for the episode
The state of I am athlete is sad to see, this used to be a go to channel every week now I hardly know he’s still going, it was fun
Exactly
Man shut up lol
There is a life outside of UA-cam my guy. Get out some
I don't know about it ever being go to channel, but I knew it was over once the original crew left. Brandon Marshall was always the worst part about his own show.
LIFE EVOLVES!! This is not the first and will not be the last! Brandon has a creative mindset and I’m sure he will continue to find his niche!! Businesses go through it…it’s called REBIRTH!
In the meantime…turn your mindset around. Focus on the good that is being offered from this Chanel instead of commenting about what YOU perceive as a down fall!
Antonio Tarver is a Legend
Absolutely not
“Got any excuses tonight, Roy?” IYKYK. Legendary.
Yeah, you're so original
Tarver is such an underrated and under-appreciated fighter. He doesn't get the credit and recognition that he truly deserves.
B.Marsh do your thing and rise like the phoenix. I see what you’re doing. I like that you’re doing what you do for you and for naysayers! 💪🏿. You’re finding out right now, your loyal fans.

I am from the mercy drive have a story for you principle, head football coach, in ATL. Ex military. Evans high school. Need to tell the story. This story had nothing on the story from mercy drive and I've lane. I know BLUE. If you don't know the words blue you don't know the the orlando story of orlando. This is a good story...
Nobody in boxing says that Tarver vs Jones is the greatest trilogy ever. Smh I wonder if he just makes stuff up in the moment
Why are Yall in the dark
Get the likes up for a true CHAMP 🥊
Hopefully Brandon can get his channel back to being elite, he built a following in sports media and just let other outlets surpass him it's weird I don't get it
Brandon Marshall is a horrible interviewer.
Shoutout to you for coming to a man videos just to write negative comments looking for attention. You are a winner I tell you lol
Brandon marshall can whoop yo A** too.
