Jim McCarter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Jimmy McCarter)

McCarter, circa 1960

Jim McCarter (born March 30, 1936, in Chester, Pennsylvania) was an American professional boxer.

Background

McCarter was a fullback for the University of Washington football team.^[1]

Amateur career

McCarter fought out of the Lloyd Athletic Club and won the Diamond Belt in Philadelphia and went on to win the National AAU Heavyweight Championship in 1956, reportedly with a decision vs. Sonny Liston.

Pro career

McCarter turned pro in 1959 and enjoyed far less success than as an amateur. Fighting mostly journeymen, McCarter's pro career was largely over by 1961. He continued to fight sporadically over the next several years without winning a bout, and finally retired in 1973.
