Harold Knight has been involved in boxing since he was nine years old. After a great amateur career, Knight went on to become a fine professional, losing only once in his world title challenge against Rocky Lockridge. Knight was forced to retire from the ring for medical reasons when he was just 25 years old, before he could fulfill his potential. Not one to feel sorry for himself, “The Shadow” continued to strive forward in life and today he is probably best known for his involvement with Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, Lennox Lewis. Knight has been with Lewis for over a decade.
