Zach Walters

Zach Walters, alias Jungle Boy, (born February 4, 1981) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 2002 to 2009, holding the African and NABA light heavyweight titles.

Zach Walters was born in Taolagnaro, Madagascar, and spent the first eleven years of his life in the country as the son of missionary parents.

Another victory for the 'Jungle Boy' earned a shot at the vacant Minnesota Light Heavyweight State Title, where Walters (7-1) defeated Marty Lindquist (11-3) by Round 2 TKO.

In August 2008 Walters lost to tough journeyman Shawn Hammack (16-6-2) in a bout that he seemed to be well on his way to winning, getting caught in the final round and stopped with 30 seconds to go.

Walters returned four months later to win in Duluth, but after a December 2009 loss to Larry Sharpe by 1st round TKO he announced his retirement.
