Charles Shufford

After that, Shufford was not able to stay in the heavyweight title scene. He beat Elieser Castillo but lost to Lawrence Clay-Bey and Jameel McCline. After losing to a rising star Samuel Peter by one-sided unanimous decision, Shufford was inactive for two years, and fought only sporadically since. He went 0–2–1 in his last three fights with the draw against Kelvin Davis and the losses to Malik Scott and Jason Estrada.

Perhaps Shufford's most notable accomplishment has been outside of the ring, playing the role of George Foreman in the 2001 film Ali.

Shufford made his professional debut at November 11, 1996, defeating Kirk Holyfield by first-round TKO. Within five years, Shufford compiled 17–1 record that included back-to-back wins over Jimmy Thunder by seventh-round TKO and rising star Lamon Brewster via unanimous decision.

Charles Shufford, a nephew of former welterweight contender Horace Shufford, was considered a star of Las Vegas amateur boxing, frequently fighting at Golden Gloves tournaments and Olympic trials. Shufford had 35 (?) amateur fights at super heavyweight (no exact record given), which included fights against Michael Grant (most notably in 1993) and Lance Whitaker, famously beating Whitaker at 1996 Olympic trials, before turning professional in 1996.
