Peter "Sugarfoot" Cunningham (born March 25, 1963) is a retired Canadian 7-time World Champion[1] Hall of Fame[2] kickboxer, boxer, martial artist, actor and author.

Rated by experts as one of the greatest full contact fighters of all time,[3] Sugarfoot was a superb technician who possessed high fighting I.Q.

He retired from kickboxing in 1996[4] with a record of 50-1-1, having avenged the only draw of his career but only one defeated Peter, the undefeated Richard Sylla at the WKA World Title in Paris.

Cunningham's skills in the ring have been praised by many martial arts legends, including Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, Chuck Norris, Dan Inosanto, Rigan Machado, Don "The Dragon" Wilson and many others.

[5] Cunningham's nickname "Sugarfoot" is a combination of the names of two great fighters in boxing and kickboxing that his style most resembled, "Sugar" Ray Leonard and Bill "Superfoot" Wallace, and it was given to him by his peers at his first dojo in Edmonton, Canada while he was still a teenager.

Sugarfoot is also an actor and has appeared in TV series such as Kung Fu: The Legend Continues[11] and CSI,[12] and in movies such as No Retreat, No Surrender[13] (1986) and The Fighter (2010).

[15] When he was six years old, his parents divorced,[16] and his mother Rosel left Trinidad and Tobago together with him and his siblings, and moved to the small island of St. Vincent in the West Indies.

As Sugarfoot made his move to Los Angeles, he was featured on the undercard of Muhammad Ali's exhibition bout with Edmonton Oiler enforcer Dave Semenko.

[33] It seems that it was destiny and that the stars aligned - two of the greatest champions in their respective sports, boxing and kickboxing - both extended invitations to join them and train with them to pursue his championship aspirations.

[34] In his first role, Cunningham played the lightweight champion fighter Frank Peters and faced off with action star Jean-Claude Van Damme in the 1985 martial arts film No Retreat, No Surrender.

[36] In addition, Peter guest starred opposite David Carradine on the Kung Fu: The Legend Continues[37] television series (1993) and worked on big budget feature I Spy (2002), where he doubled Eddie Murphy.
