Dennis Raymond Alexio (born March 12, 1959) is an American former kickboxer who competed in the light heavyweight, cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions. Starting out as a light heavyweight, Alexio kicked off his career with an extensive, knockout-laden undefeated streak before losing a decision to Don "The Dragon" Wilson in a WKA World Super Light Heavyweight Full Contact Championship match in 1984. He rebounded from this by winning the PKA World Light Heavyweight title that same year before moving up to cruiserweight and taking the ISKA World Cruiserweight Full Contact strap. In the late 1980s, he began his transition to the heavyweight division where he won six world titles and was, for a short time, considered the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion. He faced the two toughest tests of his career in 1992 against Branko Cikatić and Stan Longinidis, fighting to a controversial draw with Cikatić and losing to Longinidis via an early low kick KO. An aggressive fighter possessing good boxing skills and a powerful spinning back kick to the midsection, Alexio retired with an impressive 92% KO ratio. However, he competed almost exclusively under full contact rules and was criticized for rarely facing top-level competition despite being active throughout heavyweight kickboxing's Golden Age in the 1990s. Wilson, Cikatić and Longinidis are widely believed to have been his only world-class opponents, none of whom he was able to beat. ==Early life== Dennis Alexio was born and raised in Vacaville, California and was a standout athlete in his youth, excelling in American football, baseball and basketball. In an interview with ''Inside Karate'' magazine, he claimed to have turned down an offer to play baseball with the Los Angeles Dodgers.〔page 27, Inside Karate〕 He began his martial arts training in Kajukenbo and Tang Soo Do before moving on to kickboxing. His entrance music was "The Final Countdown" by Swedish rock band Europe.
