About the Book

Born and raised in Mansfield, Texas, Troy Dorsey began training in karate and taekwondo at the age of ten, eventually reaching the rank of eighth degree black belt.[1] After competing in point karate competitions, he made the switch to kickboxing, fighting under full contact rules.CareerAfter a brief and successful run as an amateur kickboxer in 1980, Dorsey soon turned professional and rose to prominence with a one-sided knockout defeat of Santae Wilson for the KICK United States Featherweight Championship and a defense against Jorge Angat in 1983. At the W.A.K.O. World Championships 1985 (London), held in London, England on November 2, 1985, Dorsey won gold in both semi contact and full contact kickboxing in the -57 kg/125 lb division.[2]His first loss was a controversial split decision against dominant longtime PKA Bantamweight Champion Felipe Garcia in Garcia's hometown of Denver, Colorado in January 1987. They rematched six months later on August 8, 1987 in El Paso, Texas for the ISKA World Bantamweight (-54.5 kg/120.2 lb) Full Contact Championship and Dorsey would conclusively avenge that blemish with a unanimous decision win that ended Garcia's eight-year reign. Dorsey defended his ISKA bantamweight world title with knockouts over Steve Demencuk and Jeff Watt. In his literal destruction of Demecuk, Dorsey would drop Demencuk no less than six times before finally knocking his opponent out in the seventh round. At the W.A.K.O. World Championships 1987 in Munich, West Germany in October 1987, Dorsey again took gold in full contact kickboxing but was only able to manage silver in semi contact, losing out to Oliver Drexler in the final.[3]On March 18, 1989, Dorsey went up to -60 kg/132 lb to fight Michael Kuhr at a USA vs. Germany event at the Deutschlandhalle in West Berlin, losing a controversial decision after a five-round fight. The following month, Dorsey was scheduled to fight for the Professional Kickboxing Organization (PKO) World Bantamweight (-57 kg/125 lb) Championship in Gothenburg, Sweden against Dennis Sigo but the Swede had broken his hand during sparring just one week prior to the event and Michael Kuhr was asked to take the fight and move down in weight on short notice. Dorsey won by unanimous decision to take his second world title on April 13, 1989.[4]Having turned professional as a boxer back in 1985, Dorsey won his first title in that sport on August 10, 1989 when he beat Harold Rhodes by technical knockout for the NABF North American Featherweight (-57.1 kg/126 lb) Championship. The two men met each round center ring both firing incredible volumes of powerful punches until Dorsey dropped Rhodes for a ten count in the final moments of an exciting bout. He then challenged Jorge Páez for the IBF World Featherweight (-57.1 kg/126 lb) Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 4, 1990, losing a controversial split decision.After a TKO of Bernardo Piñango two months later, Dorsey rematched Páez for both the IBF and WBO World Featherweight titles on July 8, 1990. The bout was scored a split draw and Páez kept the belts. Dorsey would finally get his hands on the IBF featherweight title after Páez vacated it, knocking out Alfred Rangel in round one for the vacant championship on June 3, 1991. He lost it to Manuel Medina two months later.[5]Dorsey made a brief return to kickboxing in 1994, knocking out Mechell Rochette in San Jose, California to be crowned the ISKA World Lightweight (-60 kg/132.3 lb) Full Contact Champion.He became a two-time boxing world champion on October 18, 1996 when he forced Jimmi Bredahl to quit on his stool in Vejle, Denmark, taking the IBO World Super Featherweight (-58.9 kg/130 lb) Championship. Dorsey had a tendency to cut easily and saw several of his later fights stopped due to cuts: this subsequently hastened his retirement from the ring in 199
