About Vaughn Bean
Born 1974. Vaughn Bean is an American boxer.
Vaughn Bean (born September 3, 1974) is an American former professional boxer. Nicknamed "Shake & Bake", Bean challenged twice for world heavyweight titles in 1997 and 1998.
Professional career
Bean began his career with 27 victories over extremely limited competition, lining up a shot at IBF Heavyweight title holder Michael Moorer in 1997. At the time, Bean was a virtual unknown to the boxing public but put up a good effort against Moorer, losing a close majority decision.
After four victories over marginal competition, Bean secured another title shot against Evander Holyfield for the WBA and IBF Heavyweight titles. Bean again lost the decision. Bean again went on another synthetic winning streak, pounding out 11 consecutive wins. Yet again, he secured another major fight, this time against Vitali Klitschko. Klitchko controlled the fight, and took out the durable Bean via a TKO in the 11th round.
In 2004, Bean dropped decisions to Tony Thompson and Yanqui Diaz. In 2005, he dropped a decision to rising star Alexander Dimitrenko.
