Fighter Profile: Baxter "The One Armed Bandit" Humby

Baxter Humby was born in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1974. Known as "The One Armed Bandit" because he has no right hand. It was amputated at birth



He's fought and defeated many great fighters. He's had over 70 something fights, and more than 60 wins. What a dude.

In addition to all that, he seems like a very calm and composed guy, who is looking to work with kids to show them that they can do anything they set their mind to. But it's not just kids that would benefit from that kind of inspiration.

Titles:

IMTC (International Muay Thai Council) World Super Welterweight Champion
KKC USA Kickboxing Champion
IMTC World Middleweight Champion
IKBA International Kickboxing Champion.



Tidbit: "Baxter Humby participated in the film Spider-Man 3. He took Tobey Maguire's place in filming a fight scene between Spider-Man and Sandman. Humby helped deliver the intended effect of punching through Sandman's chest."- wikipedia

  1. Baxter is a very nice man. I have had the pleasure of meeting him a few times now and was there when he defeated his highly regarded Japanese opponent in Jamaica. So very humble. :)
