Anthony Stephens opened his career Sept. 27, 1986 with a victory over Terry Parnham at the Bluebonnet Convention Center in Victoria, TX. He then ran his record to 10-0-1, 4 ko’s before tasting his first defeat at the hands of undefeated Oscar Ponce at Bally’s in Las Vegas, NV nearly 3 years later.<\/p>\n

May 27, 1993 he won the IBC Jr. Middleweight title by decision over Lee Fortune. That win put him in line for a shot at Felix Trinidad for the IBF Welterweight title. Anthony was stopped in round 10 of a good fight. Stephens won the USBA Welterweight Championship by decision against Harold Brazier. He became a fan favorite and headlined a few espn fight cards. He tried twice to win the IBF Jr. Middleweight World Championship losing to Raul Marquez, and Yori Boy Campas in those efforts. <\/p>\n

His last pro bout was Oct. 24, 2006 where he ended his pro career with a 3rd round knockout over Glen Brown at the Petroleum Club in Shreveport, LA. Anthony Stephens final career tally was 33-19-2, 18 ko’s.<\/p>\n
