Ronald-"Winky"-Wright

Ronald Lamont "Winky" Wright (born November 26, 1971 in Washington, DC) is an American boxer, the former Undisputed Junior Middleweight Champion of the World and a current middleweight contender.

Early years

After his 2nd round knockout of Carlos Santana on July 30, 1992 in St. Petersburg, Florida, the ring announcer called him "Winky" Wright, the name given to him by his grandmother when he was 18 months old. The nickname stuck for the rest of his career.

Big time promoters like Don King and Lou Duva would not promote Wright in the early part of his career. His first big time promoters were the French based Acaries brothers, who struck a deal for Wright to fight Darryl Lattimore in Luxembourg on January 1, 1993. Wright knocked Lattimore down three times, and the fight was stopped. Wright went on a tear during his tour of Europe, winning 8 straight in France, Germany, Monte Carlo, only fighting in the United States once over the next year.
