Terry Dunstan

Terry Dunstan (born 28 October 1968) is a British former boxer who was British and European cruiserweight champion and fought for the IBF world title.

Career Born in Vauxhall, London in 1968, Dunstan initially excelled at basketball and represented England at under-19 level. An undistinguished 17-fight amateur boxing career followed, Dunstan stating in 1997 "There was nothing to fight for. Just a trophy at the end." This was followed a challenge for Imamu Mayfield's IBF world title in March; Mayfield stopped Dunstan in the eleventh round—Dunstan's first professional defeat.

Dunstan's boxing career was interrupted when he was arrested and in December 2000 sentenced to eight and a half years after admitting charges of false imprisonment, blackmail and aggravated burglary at two Slug and Lettuce pubs in central London. After winning his next three fights he was matched with David Dolan for the vacant English cruiserweight title in December 2010. Dunstan had Dolan down in the first round and with Dolan retiring at the end of the sixth round, Dunstan became English champion.

In July 2011 Dunstan challenged for Ola Afolabi's WBO Inter-continental cruiserweight title; Afolabi stopped Dunstan in the first round. This was Dunstan's final professional fight, although he did compete in a charity tournament in February 2014, most of his time now spent training other boxers.
