'''Calvin Vance Brock''' (born January 22, 1975) is an American former [[professional boxer]] who competed from 2001 to 2007. He was ranked as the world's No.7 heavyweight by ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'' at the conclusion of 2005.<ref name=boxrec-hw-annuals>{{cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/wiki/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine%27s_Annual_Ratings:_Heavyweight--2000s|title=The Ring's Annual Ratings: 2000s|access-date=25 December 2020|publisher=The Ring}}</ref> Calvin Brock was trained by Tom Yankello. In 2006, he won ''[[Ring Magazine]]'s'' [[The Ring magazine Knockout of the Year|Knockout of the Year]] for his win against [[Zuri Lawrence]] and challenged for the [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] and [[International Boxing Organization|IBO]] [[heavyweight]] titles. Brock was forced to retire after receiving retinal damage in his right eye following his loss to [[Eddie Chambers]].

== Early life ==
Brock was born and raised in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]] in a middle-class family. He became a fan of boxing as a kid, prompting his father to take him to the gym when he was 10 years old, where he was told to come back when he's 12. Brock returned to that gym five months after turning 12, losing his first six bouts. Brock earned a degree in finance from the [[University of North Carolina]] at Charlotte in 1999 and took a job as a banker in the [[Bank of America]].<ref name=brock-bio>{{cite web|url = http://www.calvinbrock.com/bio.php|title=Calvin Brock biography|publisher=Calvin Brock |access-date=29 March 2018|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060426051605/http://www.calvinbrock.com/bio.php|archive-date = 26 April 2006}}</ref> He appeared in a Bank of America [[advertising|ad]], in which he was referred to as "The Boxing Banker", which ultimately became his nickname.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=2688&more=1 |title=Sharkie's Machine: Q & A With Calvin Brock |publisher=Eastsideboxing.com |date= |access-date=2010-05-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=jones/061109|title=Number puncher|work=espn.com|access-date=2 April 2020}}</ref> Brock soon left the job in order to concentrate on his boxing career.<ref name=brock-bio/>

== Amateur career ==
Brock had a notable amateur boxing career. He won the [[List of US national Golden Gloves heavyweight champions|Golden Gloves heavyweight championship]] in 1998, and the [[United States national amateur boxing super heavyweight champions|United States national amateur super heavyweight championship]] in 1999. He qualified at the [[2000 Summer Olympics]] [[Boxing at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Super heavyweight|super heavyweight tournament]] after narrowly beating one-time conqueror [[T. J. Wilson (boxer)|T.J.Wilson]] in the qualification, but lost to [[Paolo Vidoz]] in the first round. During the Olympics, he was a teammate of future world champions [[Jermain Taylor]], [[Jeff Lacy]], and [[Brian Viloria]]. Brock ended his amateur career with 147–38 record.

== Professional career ==
Brock made his professional debut on February 11, 2001, knocking out Zibielee Kimbrough in the third round.<ref name=brock-record>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/32493|title=Professional boxing record: Calvin Brock|access-date=2 April 2020}}</ref> He built up a 23–0 record with 19 knockouts before stepping up in competition, facing [[Clifford Etienne]]. Etienne, once highly regarded prospect, was looking for a way to regain his stock after being knocked out by [[Mike Tyson]] and [[Fres Oquendo]]. Coming into the bout, Etienne was 5–0–1 in his last six fights.<ref name=brock-etienne-bout>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/event/431216/868445|title=Bout: Calvin Brock vs Clifford Etienne|access-date=2 April 2020}}</ref> The bout took place at [[Reliant Center]] in [[Houston, Texas]], and was aired on [[ESPN2]].<ref name=brock-etienne-l>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYMX0qGfsYU|title=Calvin Brock vs Clifford Etienne [Full Fight]|website=[[YouTube]] |access-date=2 April 2020}}{{cbignore}}{{Dead YouTube link|date=February 2022}}</ref> Brock knocked down Etienne three times, once in round two and twice in round three, with the referee stopping the fight after the third knockdown, declaring Brock the winner by third-round TKO.<ref name=brock-record/><ref name=brock-etienne-bout/><ref name=brock-etienne-l/>

Afterwards, Brock took a big step up in competition when he agreed to face [[Jameel McCline]] on 23 April, just three months after beating Etienne. McCline, ranked No.8 heavyweight in the world by [[The Ring (magazine)|''The Ring'']] at the time, was coming off of a razor-thin split decision loss to [[Chris Byrd]] for [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] world heavyweight title in what was described as an entertaining fight, and was viewed as the favorite coming into the Brock bout.<ref name=the-ring-ratings>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine%27s_Annual_Ratings:_Heavyweight--2000s|title=The Ring Magazine's Annual Ratings: Heavyweight--2000s|access-date=3 April 2020}}</ref><ref name=byrd-mccline-espn>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=1922425|title=Byrd, Ruiz earn decisions, keep titles|date=14 November 2004 |access-date=3 April 2020}}</ref><ref name=brock-mccline-247>{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxing247.com/weblog/archives/107927|title=Calvin Brock, Wasted Opportunity|date=27 April 2006 |access-date=3 April 2020}}</ref> The fight was scheduled to take place at [[Caesars Palace]] in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]] and was televised on [[ESPN]] as part of the undercard of the [[pay-per-view]] fight between [[Antonio Margarito]] and [[Kermit Cintrón]].<ref name=brock-mccline-event>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/event/436588|title=Saturday 23, April 2005: Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA|access-date=3 April 2020}}</ref> Brock weighed in at {{convert|218|lb|kg}} and was outweighed by McCline by {{convert|47|lb|kg}}.<ref name=brock-record/><ref name=brock-mccline-event/> The fight started with McCline trying to work behind the jab, while Brock tried to close the distance, working primarily McCline's body. In the middle rounds, Brock largely outboxed McCline using [[bob and weave]] strategy, but was knocked down in the seventh round with a short left hook followed by a right hand. Brock got up from the knockdown and finished the round strong and proceeded to outbox McCline for the remaining of the fight.<ref name=brock-mccline-247/><ref name=brock-mccline-l>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7to_JRolP7g |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/7to_JRolP7g |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live|title=Jameel McCline vs Calvin Brock|website=[[YouTube]] |date=16 September 2013 |access-date=3 April 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The bout went full ten rounds, with Brock being declared the winner by unanimous decision (UD), with scores 97–93, 96–94 and 96–93.

On November 19, 2005, Brock faced David Bostice for IBA Continental Americas heavyweight title, making it the first fight in Brock's professional career with a title, albeit lightly regarded, on the line.<ref name=brock-record/> Bostice, who had a 35–9–1 record coming into the fight, was described as a "tough veteran", with most of his previous losses coming at the hands of former world heavyweight champions and contenders, such as [[Wladimir Klitschko]], [[Tim Witherspoon]], [[Francois Botha]] and [[Jeremy Williams (boxer)|Jeremy Williams]].<ref name=brock-bostice-next-in-line>{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/calvin-brock-he-next-line--2465|title=Calvin Brock: Is He the Next in Line?|access-date=13 June 2020}}</ref> The fight took place at [[Cricket Arena]] in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]], Brock's hometown. Both fighters fought aggressively from the opening bell, with Brock seemingly doing the better work in the early rounds, going back-and-forth between combinations to the head and body and not allowing Bostice to fire back. Brock appeared to be tired going into the middle rounds, fighting rather defensively, but picked up his pace after the seventh, hurting Bostice several times and almost stopping him in the ninth round. The twelfth round saw both fighters slugging it out, with the crowd chanting "Calvin! Calvin! Calvin!".<ref name=brock-bostice-bs/><ref name=brock-bostice-fight>{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxing247.com/weblog/archives/106548|title=Brock vs. Bostice Round-By-Round Ringside Report|date=22 November 2005 |access-date=13 June 2020}}</ref> The fight ultimately went the distance, with Brock being declared the winner by unanimous decision, with scores 118–110 (twice) and 116–112.<ref name=brock-bostice-bout>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/event/470507/1011400|title=Bout: Calvin Brock vs David Bostice|access-date=13 June 2020}}</ref> The fight was widely praised for being a slugfest.<ref name=brock-bostice-fight/><ref name=brock-bostice-bs>{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/ringside-report-brock-decisions-bostice--2474|title=Ringside Report: Brock Decisions Bostice|date=20 November 2005 |access-date=13 June 2020}}</ref>

On February 25, 2006, in a stay-busy fight, Brock faced [[Zuri Lawrence]] on the undercard of the fight between [[Shane Mosley]] and [[Fernando Vargas]] on HBO PPV at [[Mandalay Bay Events Center]] in Las Vegas.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2234023|title=Stars align: Vargas, Mosley ready for Feb. 25 rumble|date=2005-11-23|website=ESPN.com|access-date=2017-04-04}}</ref> Regarded by the public as an experienced journeyman with a record of 20 wins, 10 losses and 4 draws, Lawrence was coming off of upset victory over Jameel McCline.<ref name=lawrence-record>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/15802|title=Professional boxing record: Zuri Lawrence|access-date=5 April 2020}}</ref><ref name=brock-lawrence-bout>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/event/476092/1050228|title=Bout: Calvin Brock Zuri Lawrence|access-date=5 April 2020}}</ref> The first five rounds were tentative, with Brock slowly breaking Lawrence down and winning every round.

With a 28–0 record, Brock was offered to fight [[Wladimir Klitschko]] for [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] world heavyweight championship in the summer of 2006 by Klitschko's advisor [[Shelly Finkel]], but Brock declined citing disagreement with the offered terms.<ref name=ibragimov-brock-preview>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/columns/story?columnist=rafael_dan&id=2578987|title=Notebook: Timing now right for Brock to gain title shot|date=8 September 2006 |access-date=4 April 2020}}</ref>
Instead, Brock opted to face undefeated prospect [[Timur Ibragimov]] on June 24, 2006. The fight took place at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, where Brock had previously defeated Jameel McCline, and was aired on [[HBO]] as part of the ''[[Boxing After Dark]]'' series.<ref name=ibragimov-brock-espn>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2499854|title=Brock beats Ibragimov, still undefeated at 29-0|date=25 June 2006 |access-date=4 April 2020}}</ref><ref name=ibragimov-brock-bout>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/event/489209/1069746|title=Bout: Calvin Brock vs Timur Ibragimov|access-date=4 April 2020}}</ref> During the fight, the temperature exceeded {{convert|100|F|C}}, which resulted in each fighter unwilling to press the action. Brock ultimately won the bout by unanimous decision, with scores 119–109, 115–113 and 117–111.<ref name=ibragimov-brock-bout/><ref name=ibragimov-brock-espn/> "His style was a contrast to mine. He was very cautious of being hit, always moving away. In the 6th or 7th round, I rocked him, he was hurt but not too hurt. He had a very good defense and was able to roll with punches. He surprised me because I didn't expect him keep his movement up for the whole fight. I thought at some point he would break down, but he kept running", Brock said after the fight. With a 29–0 (22 KOs) record, numerous boxing insiders considered Brock as one of the most promising American heavyweight prospects at the time, while ESPN journalist [[Dan Rafael]] claimed that "a number of promoters" were interested in signing Brock who became a free agent on July 27.<ref name="brock-build-up-1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/calvin-brock-speaks-on-klitschko-liakhovich--5369|title=Calvin Brock Speaks on Klitschko, Liakhovich|date=September 2006 |access-date=24 November 2021}}</ref><ref name=brock-espn-29-0>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/columns/story?columnist=rafael_dan&id=2532664|title=Notebook: Brock in demand by promoters|date=28 July 2006 |access-date=24 November 2021}}</ref> Eventually Brock signed a new contract with [[Kathy Duva|Main Events]] on better terms.<ref name=brock-espn-29-0-p2>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/columns/story?columnist=rafael_dan&id=2578987|title=Notebook: Timing now right for Brock to gain title shot|date=8 September 2006 |access-date=5 August 2023}}</ref>

Brock finally received a shot at the world title as he agreed to face [[Wladimir Klitschko]] for [[International Boxing Federation|IBF]] world heavyweight championship. In the build-up to the fight, Brock was confident of his abilities to adapt to any style: "Klitschko has a good jab, but they also said Timur's best weapon was his jab. I have a good jab myself. I can adapt to anybody's style, anybody's strength and turn their weapon against them." He later added: "The heavyweight division is stacked with a bunch of talent. It's not weak, definitely not weak. The division is pretty strong and that's why the title keeps changing hands."<ref name=brock-build-up-1/><ref name=brock-build-up-2>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurosport.com/boxing/us-news/2005/wlad-faces-brock-challenge_sto1005268/story.shtml|title=WLAD FACES BROCK CHALLENGE|access-date=24 November 2021}}</ref> The fight took place at [[Madison Square Garden]] on November 11, 2006. In the opening rounds, Brock's economical but effective movement made Klitschko reluctant to throw punches, with Wladimir being unable to fully establish his rhythm.<ref name=klitschko-brock-espn>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2658291|title=Klitschko drops Brock in the seventh to defend title|date=11 November 2006 |access-date=5 April 2020}}</ref> In between the 3rd and 4th rounds, Klitschko's trainer [[Emmanuel Steward]] urged Wladimir to press the action. From the fourth round, Klitschko started fighting more aggressively, hurting Brock several times with the right cross. In the fifth round, Brock opened a cut under Klitschko's left eye that started bleeding heavily in the sixth. In round 7, Brock was caught with a counter right hand before being sent to the canvas with another straight right.<ref name=klitschko-brock-espn/><ref name=klitschko-brock-l>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piP8m9C01MU |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/piP8m9C01MU |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live|title=Wladimir Klitschko vs. Calvin Brock – Full Fight & Knockout|website=[[YouTube]] |date=July 2014 |access-date=5 April 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Brock was able to get up but the referee stopped the bout, deciding that Brock is unable to continue.<ref name=klitschko-brock-espn/><ref name=klitschko-brock-l/>

After defeating two journeymen, Brock was given a spot in the 4-man elimination tournament to receive a shot at the IBF world heavyweight championship. In semifinals, Brock faced undefeated prospect [[Eddie Chambers]]. In the build-up to the fight, Brock claimed to be in the best shape of his career.<ref name=chambers-brock-preview>{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxing247.com/weblog/archives/116131|title=Eddie Chambers and Calvin Brock Final Quotes and Weights|date=2 November 2007 |access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref> Brock weighed in at 241 lbs, the heaviest in his entire career and almost 17 lbs heavier than in his bout against Klitschko.<ref name=brock-record/> The additional weight appeared to be muscle.<ref name=chambers-brock-l>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BevvhpWPbAw |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/BevvhpWPbAw |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live|title=Eddie Chambers v Calvin Brock 1/7|website=[[YouTube]] |date=20 April 2009 |access-date=25 March 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The fight took place at [[Emerald Queen Casino]] in [[Tacoma, Washington]] and was aired live on [[Showtime (TV network)|Showtime]].<ref name=chambers-brock-l/><ref name=chambers-brock-bout/> Chambers appeared to have the upper hand in the fight, effectively using his hand speed and upper-body movement, and was declared the winner by split decision, with two judges scoring the bout 115–113 in favor of Chambers, while the third judge had the same score but in favor of Brock.<ref name=chambers-brock-bout>{{Cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/event/537376/1237254|title=Bout: Eddie Chambers vs Calvin Brock|access-date=25 March 2020}}</ref>

During this bout, Brock suffered retinal damage in his right eye.  As a result of botched surgery to repair the damage in December 2007, Brock became legally blind in his right eye, and forced to retire permanently from the sport of boxing. Brock can still see images of daylight in the right eye.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}
