Andre Purlette (born 4 November 1973) is a Guyanese former professional boxer who competed from 1992 to 2009 in the heavyweight division.[1] Known as "Tombstone", Purlette turned pro in 1992 and won his first 32 bouts, including a victory over Jimmy Thunder. He later lost to veteran Jeremy Williams in 2003 and was knocked out by Aaron Williams in 2008.

His professional career began when he was 19, on Boxing Day 1992, with a first-round knockout of Alberto Ellis at the National Park. He went undefeated until 2002, when he was knocked out in round five of a heavyweight fight against 27-year-old Eliecer Castillo at American Airlines Arena on January 4, 2002.[2]

Pulette won the World Boxing Council Latino heavyweight title with a TKO victory over Crawford Grimsley on September 7, 2002, in Prague. He had five more wins before two losses against Aaron Williams and Harold Sconiers.

He retired in 2009 and moved to the US.

Since then, he was inducted into the Stabroek News Boxing Hall of Fame.[2]
