Question about a fighter with HIV.

[Sister Sledge]

There was an undefeated fighter in the mid-nineties who was a Middleweight or Light-Middle, who's career got derailed because it was suspected he had tested positive. I can't remember the guys name, but I still don't think he was ever tested. Does anyone remember the guys name? He was highly touted.

Thank you. It was Lamar Parks. Somebody posted an excellent article about him and his story last year. Kind of sad the guy is not in touch with reality.

I met Lamar years ago just before the story came out he was a very driven and motivated fighter who looked destined for greatness.. Kidfire was hot stuff, i wonder where he is now...

Yeah I read that article its a damn shame he never got to show his talent. I wonder how hes getting on now, that article was from a few years ago if I remember rightly.

I was looking for it, but there is not a lot of information on Lamar Parks or boxers with HIV. The only guy ever mentioned is Tommy Morrison, but Parks was much more talented than Morrison.
