Antonio Baltazar (born February 5, 1961) is a Mexican American boxer. He competes in the Lightweight
division. After an amateur career where he won various titles, he turned professional in the late 1970s, and
has boxed the likes of Robin Blake, former world champion Roger Mayweather, Hector Macho Camacho and
Carlos Bolillo Gonzalez, the last two of which Baltazar fought for world titles. Baltazar has been a contender
at the Lightweight and Jr. Welterweight divisions.[1]
Early life
Baltazar was born in La Puente, California.
Pro career
A native of La Puente, California, Baltazar now resides in Phoenix. He was one time the holder of a WBO
regional title, the North American Boxing Organization Jr. Welterweight championship. His brother, Frankie
Baltazar, was also a top rated contender during most of the 1980s.[2]
But Baltazar's story goes far beyond what he has accomplished inside the boxing ring: In 1995, he and his
wife had a son who developed a strange blood disease. Two years later, the disease was diagnosed and
Baltazar and his family started travelling constantly to Rochester, Minnesota for treatment. In between,
Baltazar organized a foundation that helps grow funds for kids with that disease. After constant
improvement and fall backs, Baltazar's little son died in 2001, at the age of 6. In memory of his son, Baltazar
has kept the foundation on working, and he and his helpers organize charity boxing undercards, rodeos
and auctions every year.
His activities have been attended by several celebrities, such as world champion boxers George Foreman,
Evander Holyfield and Carlos Palomino, as well as a varied list of Hollywood actors. In 2001, the auction
charity was attended by Alice Cooper, former world boxing champion Michael Carbajal, daredevil Spanky
Spangler and others.[3]
