About Ben Tackie
Born 1973. Ben Tackie is a Ghanaian boxer.
Benjamin Tackie (born 23 July 1973) is a Ghanaian former professional boxer and world title challenger. He was known for his excellent chin and ability to throw a high volume of punches. All but one of his losses came via decision.
Professional career Known as "Wonder", Tackie turned pro in 1994 and won his first 18 fights before losing a decision to Gregorio Vargas in 1999. In 2002, he took on Kostya Tszyu for the unified WBC, WBA and IBF light welterweight titles but lost a decision. He lost his next two fights to Sharmba Mitchell and Ricky Hatton. He lost to Matthew Hatton on 22 September 2008 on the undercard to Ricky Hatton's Light Welterweight title defence in Las Vegas.
Tackie's 10th-round knockout of Robert Garcia was named Ring Magazine Knockout of the Year for 2000.
So far in his 41 pro fights Tackie has been knocked down only once.
Stalking charge In February 2015, Tackie's stalking conviction was reversed in Bronx county court in New York. The threat communicated "Don't let me use my boxing skills on you" apparently did not rise to the legal requirement to uphold his conviction. http://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2015/2015-ny-slip-op-50117-u.html
