Scott LeDoux

Scott is a former heavyweight title contender with a celebrated career spanning 5 decades, beginning in 1966, as an amateur and continuing through 2000 when he sparred with World Champion, Lennox Lewis. He is the only fighter to have boxed 11 world champions. His opponents include the likes of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Larry Holmes, Ken Norton, Leon Spinks, Mike Weaver, Jerry Coetzea, Greg Paige and Frank Bruno.

Scott's journey to the top echelon in boxing was dotted with drama as his wife fought a losing battle with cancer. For his most important fight, against Larry Homes for the World Heavyweight Title, Scott trained at home in his garage to be near his ailing wife.

Since his retirement in 1991, he has served on the Minnesota Boxing Commission for 18 years and as chairman for two. He continues to be an advocate for the sport, believing that it is a character builder for disadvantaged youth. Scott is very active in the Minneapolis community in his work with Make A Wish, American Cancer Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and is a color commentator for ESPN sports and Friday Night Fights.

Scott has been speaking at churches locally and loves the opportunity to share his faith with anyone seeking to know the Lord. Sharing his journey that led him to accept the free gift of salvation is one of the gifts that the Lord has blessed him with. Scott currently lives in Andover with his wife, Carol. They have 3 grown children.
