Bruce Carrington Jr. is an American professional boxer.

Early life

Growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn Carrington admitted his parents did a very good job from keeping him away from gang activities.[1]

Carrington said his biggest boxing inspirations were Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Mike Tyson.

Amateur career

Carrington had a very successful amateur career, winning the New York City Golden Gloves in 2017 and US Olympic Trials in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing the delay of the 2020 Olympics Games in Tokyo, Carrington decided to turn pro.[2] He finished his amateur career with a record of 255 wins, 31 losses.[3]

Professional career

Carrington made his debut on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder on October 9, 2021, at the T-Mobile Arena. He won comfortably on points in a 4 rounder.[4] In 2023 Carrington won The Ring magazine Prospect of the Year.[5]

Carrington was scheduled to face Enrique Vivas at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 8, 2024.[6] On June 5, 2024 it was announced that Vivas withdrew due to VISA issue.[7] Vivas was replaced by Brayan De Gracia.[8] Carrington won the fight by TKO in the eighth round, scoring two knockdowns along the way.[9][10]

Carrington defeated Sulaiman Segawa at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City on September 27, 2024 by majority decision.[11]

Carrington defeated Dana Coolwell in an eight-round featherweight bout featured on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson undercard at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX on November 15, 2024.[12][13][14]
