Everette Ferguson BEM (21 February 1952 – 28 June 2018), better known as Elisha Obed was a Bahamian light middleweight boxer.
Veteran trainer and promoter Moe Fleischer travelled to Nassau to "check-out" this upcoming prospect.
He defended the title twice before losing the belt to Germany's Eckhard Dagge in 1976,[3] after which he quit, claiming he had blurred vision.
He later fought Australian Rocky Mattioli for the world championship title but was knocked out in the seventh round.
Obed received a British Empire Medal for services to sport in the 2016 New Year Honours.
