Ray White

Ray "Windmill" White (born August 5, 1938) is an American former professional boxer best known for his unorthodox punches. He fought boxers like Jimmy Dupree, Jesse Burnett and Mike Quarry.

History White fought out of Ventura, California in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a draw in the Los Angeles area, fighting multiple times at the Olympic Auditorium and winning the California State Light Heavyweight title. The tall and lanky White, with his unusual reach advantage, invented several unorthodox punches including the behind the back punch. His popularity led to appearances on national television shows including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Merv Griffin Show. He retired in 1974 and despite a record of 41-14-5 and wins over name contenders of the era,

White currently resides in Ventura County, California and is an instructor at The Ventura KO Academy, where he helps in the training of amateur fighters. In the summer of 2011, White will be inducted into California Boxing Hall of Fame as well as inducted to the Ventura County Hall of Fame. He was ranked the 7th most awkward fighter of all time in The Ultimate Boxing Book of Lists by Bert Randolph Sugar and Teddy Atlas.
