Samuel Peter
Samuel Okon Peter (born September 6, 1980) is a Nigerian professional boxer and former WBC heavyweight champion. He rose to prominence in his early professional career following a string of spectacular knockout wins, at a time when the titles of the division were fragmented. In 2008 he won a portion of the heavyweight crown by knocking out Oleg Maskaev, and scoring notable wins over James Toney and Oleg Maskaev before that. Later in 2008, in what would be his only defense of the title, Peter lost to Vitali Klitschko, who stopped him in eight rounds. Peter remains the only boxer to have been defeated by both Klitschko brothers, losing to Wladimir twice (in 2005 and 2010) and Vitali once.
==Early years and amateur career==
Originally, Peter's preferred sport was soccer. In 1992, some boxers came to Peter's school to train. The curious young 11-year-old stopped by and asked if he could train along with them. He was put up against an experienced amateur and knocked him out. This marked the beginning of a successful amateur career for Peter.
Samuel Peter won the Nigerian amateur heavyweight championship and the Africa Zone 3 Heavyweight championship. He faced stiff competition as an amateur (including a knockout victory over 2000 Silver Medalist Mukhtarkhan Dildabekov of Kazakhstan). However, he prevailed and was given the opportunity to represent Nigeria at the 2000 Sydney, Australia Summer Olympics.
Peter lost in the quarterfinals to Italian Paolo Vidoz by decision. However, his performance was noted for being very impressive from such a young pugilist and hence more excitement was generated for him than the eventual Gold Medalist, Audley Harrison, to whom Peter had lost a very close decision just a few months before the Olympics.
