Kelvin Seabrooks (born March 10, 1963, in Charlotte, North Carolina) is a retired American boxer who won the International Boxing Federation bantamweight title and defended it four times.
President Jimmy Carter boycotted the Summer Olympics in Moscow that year to protest the December 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
He became the International Boxing Federation world bantamweight champion that year with a fifth-round knockout of Miguel Maturana in Cartagena, Colombia.
His first title defense against Frenchman Thierry Jacob, ended in controversy as it was initially declared a draw[1] but later ruled on as a win for Seabrooks.
The center's mission will be to provide a safe haven in the community for youth to enhance their abilities and skills, leading them on the right track toward the future, said Seabrooks.
