Henry "Hammerin' Hank" Milligan (born September 16, 1958, in Camden, New Jersey) is a retired professional boxer from the United States. His highest achievement came in amateur boxing, when he was ranked #9 heavyweight in the world by the AIBA in February 1984 (being the only American to get into the dozen,) prior to his knockout loss in the hands of young Michael Tyson, then a relatively unknown to the world boxer from Catskill, New York.Milligan was a 1981 graduate of Princeton University. He was a defensive back in football, a third baseman in baseball and a wrestler who often wrestled in the highest weight class, despite being only about 5 feet 11 inches, 185 pounds (he would frequently wrestle and defeat 250-pounders, and once wrestled and defeated a 325-pounder in the NCAAs). Milligan earned ten varsity letters, an all-time university record. He was an All-American in wrestling and was Princeton's 1981 Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year, which is the university's highest undergraduate honor. He later earned an M.B.A. degree from New York University.The New York Mets offered him a minor league contract after his college graduation from Princeton.Prior to his college graduation, he never boxed competitively, nor did he even train as a boxer. He claims that the only boxing he did before graduating from college was with his brother Mike in their parents' basement when growing up, in which they used rags to cover their hands.He went to A.I. du Pont High School in Greenville, Delaware.Milligan is now the head coach of the Varsity wrestling team at Wilmington Christian School in Hockessin, Delaware.
