Billy Smaltz

I am a boxer from The Southside Boxing Club in Youngstown, OH and stablemate/friend of Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik who is the WBC/WBO middleweight Champion of the world. I am an army veteran, a recovering drug addict, and a college graduate with a degree in Criminal Justice. I started boxing in late 1992 by fighting in Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini's K.O. Drugs tournament. After, I was hooked and fell in love with the art and started to fine tune my raw talents. I was a 2- time lightheavyweight Golden Gloves Champion in Youngstown and Cleveland, OH and lost my only fight by a 3-2 decision in the ABF qualifying finals to advance to Erie, PA for the regionals. My career record as of now including toughman brawls and army smokers is 23-1 (19 k.o's) As I continued to fight after the military I suffered some major injuries which sidelined my career in 2000. I pursued music shortly after forming a Hard Rock band called TiLT 360 in 1999. I am the vocalist in the band. We have been touring for almost 9 years and are set to release our 2nd album "Day 11" in 2008. I will also be fighting in the Toughman contest coming up in Jan. 2008. I am known for my chin music!!
