Joey Gamache

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joey Gamache, (born on May 20, 1966 in Lewiston, Maine), was a professional boxer.

Gamache turned pro in 1987 and won his first 28 bouts, including victories over Jerry Ngobeni to capture the Vacant WBA Super Featherweight Title in 1991 and Chil-Sung Chun to capture the Vacant WBA Lightweight Title in 1992. Gamache lost the Lightweight belt in his first defense to Tony Lopez via an 11th round TKO. In 1994 he took on Orzubek Nazarov for the WBA Lightweight Title, but suffered a TKO in the 2nd. He never fought for a title again, and retired in 2000 after being brutally knocked out by Arturo Gatti. Gamache allegedly sustained permanent brain damage in the loss, and filed lawsuits against both Gatti and the New York State Athletic Commission. He alleges that Gatti weighed significantly more than the contracted weight at the time of the fight [1].

Gamache is the only boxer from Maine to capture a world boxing title.
