Olivier Lontchi, (born June 8, 1983 in Cameroon) is a Cameroon-born Canada based professional boxer who fights in the super bantamweight division. Lontchi is the current NABA super bantamweight champion and like fellow Cameroon born fighter Herman Ngoudjo he is trained by Howard Grant and based in Montreal.

Amateur career

[edit]

Lontchi represented the Cameroon as an amateur boxer. He won a bronze medal in the featherweight division at the 2001 Francophone Games in Ottawa. Following this he and Ngoudjo, who also won a bronze, remained in Canada and they continue to be based there.[1]

Professional career

[edit]

Debut

[edit]

Lontchi turned professional in September 2004 at Club Soda, Montreal, Quebec, Canada on an undercard of bill that included stablemate Walid Smichet. In his debut Lontchi drew with Limoilou's Dave Drouin, six month later the pair would fight again and that time Lontchi won with a fourth round knockout.[2]

Canadian featherweight title

[edit]

Lontchi remained unbeaten and in 2006 he fought Jason Adams for his Canadian featherweight title in Adams' home province of Alberta. Lontchi knocked out Adams in the ninth of a scheduled ten rounds with an overhand right that left Adams on the canvas for several minutes.[2] Adams had never been stopped in any of his previous fights and following this Lontchi was awarded the prize for Knockout of the Year at the 2006 Canadian Fightnews awards.[3]

NABA and WBO NABO super bantamweight titles

[edit]

Six straight victories later Lontchi dropped down a weight to the super bantamweight division to face former Mexican and WBO bantamweight champion Cruz Carbajal for both the NABA and WBO NABO belts. Carbajal was the vastly more experience fighter having challenged for the a variety of world title and this being Lontchi's first fight at super bantam and for an international title. Despite this Lontchi produced a master class with his speed overcoming Carbajal power and he went on to win a clear points victory over twelve rounds with only one judge giving Carbajal a single round.[1][2]
