Chauncy Welliver (born 28 April 1983) is an American-New Zealand heavyweight boxer from Spokane, Washington who lives in Auckland, New Zealand. He has a career record of 55-10-5.[1] Throughout his career he has never been knocked down, let alone knocked out, onto the canvas, and at one point the WBC ranked him the 5th best boxer in the world.[2]
He came to widespread attention when he fought Odlanier Solis in October 2008. He lost when the referee intervened in the ninth round but impressed many with his skills and decent chin.
Welliver was then rated in the top 10 for some time by both the WBC and WBO after picking up numerous titles from these sanctioning bodies against limited opposition. His ranking dropped however when he suffered two defeats in 2012, being outpointed by Sherman Williams and Kyotaro Fujimoto.
His ring name is the Hillyard Hammer. He is currently trained by former Native American HW Title Challenger, Joe "The Boss" Hipp. His current manager is Roland Jankelson. He is also a HW Consultant for the boxing radio show On The Ropes.[3] Welliver trains and coaches amateur boxers at Boxfit in Spokane, Washington.[4]
On 31 January 2015, Welliver will fight against rugby football star Sonny Bill Williams, in what he has described as the biggest fight of his career[5] and Williams as "a better athlete than Michael Jordan."[6]
