Richard Boone Pultz (born November 18, 1959) is an American former professional boxer who won the WBO Cruiserweight title in December 1989.Pultz who grew up in Cape St. Claire, Maryland took up boxing as a teenager after seeing a Rocky Balboa film. He won four straight Golden Gloves and Amateur Athletic Union championships before turning pro in 1982. Pultz made his professional debut in 1982. After winning his first ten fights, Pultz fought Bernard Benton for the USBA Cruiserweight Title in Atlantic City, New Jersey on March 27 1985, winning a decision over 12 rounds.In 1989 the undefeated Pultz got the opportunity to fight Magne Havnå for the vacant WBO Cruiserweight title. Pultz travelled to Copenhagen and was successful, denying the Norwegian the title in a close 12 round split - decision contest. Sixth months later Pultz again travelled to Denmark for a rematch, this time suffering his first defeat via a knockout in the 5th round.Fresh off the defeat Pultz agreed to move up to Heavyweight and was scheduled to fight George Foreman in Nassau, Bahamas. Foreman backed out at the last minute, citing a training injury and no follow up date was offered. Pultz then took a three year layoff and never fought for a belt again.
