Boxer dwight muhammad qawi eddie

Born Dwight Braxton on January 5, 1953 in Baltimore, Maryland. He began sharpening his boxing skills during a stint at Rahway State Prison and upon release in March 1978, he began training at Joe Frazier's Gym in Philadelphia where he engaged in heated sparring sessions with tough Philadelphians including Bennie Briscoe.

With only one month of training under his belt and no amateur fights, the 5' 7" powerhouse turned pro in April 1978. At age 25, he wasted little time and soon met and defeated quality opponents. He defeated former light heavyweight king Mike Rossman and James Scott (in a bout held in Rahway) in only his 16th and 17th pro fights.
