Earnie Shavers est un boxeur poids lourds américain né le 31 août 1944 à Garland, Alabama. Il est réputé pour avoir été l'un des puncheurs les plus redoutables de sa catégorie. Selon Ron Lyle et Mohamed Ali, qui l'ont combattu, Earnie Shavers frappait plus fort que George Foreman (régulièrement désigné comme étant l'un des cogneurs les plus puissants de toute l'histoire de la boxe anglaise). Par ailleurs, ce dernier a déclaré dans une interview à propos de Shavers qu'il était soulagé de ne jamais avoir eu à le combattre.Sa courte carrière amateur est ponctuée par un titre de champion des États-Unis en 1969. En novembre 1969, il passe professionnel, et démontre très vite de grandes qualités de puncher. Malgré une défaite aux points lors de son troisième combat, il aligne les victoires par KO dans les premières reprises. Il connait toutefois une deuxième défaite, en étant mis KO au 5e round par le futur challenger mondial Ron Stander le 11 mai 1970.Jusqu'à la fin de 1972 pourtant, Shavers aligne 30 victoires consécutives, dont 29 par KO, seul l'ancien champion du monde mi-lourd Vicente Rondon tiendra jusqu'au bout d'un combat en 10 reprises, mais n'ayant gagné qu'un round selon les juges.Le 19 février 1973, Earnie Shavers bat en 3 rounds un autre espoir, Jimmy Young. Après 44 victoires et 2 défaites, Earnie Shavers fait désormais partie des boxeurs les mieux classés de la catégorie, mais connait des fortunes diverses face aux autres top boxeurs de l'époque :
