Wilford Scypion(July 18, 1958 - February 27, 2014) was a former professional boxer.

Amateur career

Scypion was the National Golden Gloves Middleweight Champion in 1978.

Pro career

In February 1983, Scypion beat Frank Fletcher by a twelve round decision to take the USBA's regional Middleweight title. This victory guaranteed him a world championship try, against Marvelous Marvin Hagler. The two competitors met on May 27, in a fight televised by HBO Boxing, which was considered by many to show only the best fights available at the time. Scypion was knocked out in four rounds in his only world title try, which was held in Providence, Rhode Island. It was the first bout for the WBA, WBC and IBF titles in history.

Death

He died on February 27th 2014 after complications of Pneumonia.

Life After Boxing

 

He now lives in Port Arthur, Texas with his father and sister. Wilford is well known around town. Even though Wilford is disabled, due to his boxing experiences, he manages to live a relatively normal life and attends church with his family.
