Edward "Eddie" Chambers (born March 29, 1982) is an American professional boxer who has challenged once for the unified world heavyweight title, in 2010.

Amateur career

Chambers had an amateur record of 60 wins and 20 losses.

Professional career

Eddie started boxing professionally in 2000 at the age of 18. For the first five years, he fought unknown opponents before raising his level of competition significantly in 2005 against clubfighters Ross Puritty and Robert Hawkins.

In 2006 he took a further step upward by defeating former title challenger Ed Mahone and renowned clubfighter Domonic Jenkins (in spite of his record of only 9-5 Jenkins had beaten several prospects).

In May 2007, Chambers stopped 15–0 Derric Rossy and defeated Dominic Guinn on Shobox. Later in 2007 he took part in IBF's 4-man elimination tournament to face the current champion Wladimir Klitschko. Chambers beat Calvin Brock via split decision in semifinals, but lost unanimously to Alexander Povetkin in the final bout.

After his fight with Povetkin he won three more bouts against opponents like Raphael Butler before facing Samuel Peter on March 27, 2009 and defeated him by majority decision. He scored another decision win afterwards against Alexander Dimitrenko on July 4, 2009 in a WBO title eliminator bout, which made him the mandatory challenger for the WBO heavyweight title held by Wladimir Klitschko.

Chambers vs. Klitschko

On March 20, 2010 he faced Wladimir Klitschko for his first ever title shot in Düsseldorf, Germany.^[1] Klitschko defeated Chambers by knockout five seconds before the end of the final round. The Ukrainian was criticized between rounds by his trainer Emanuel Steward for not fighting aggressively enough despite having won all prior rounds and Chambers only fighting back weakly. Klitschko began punching more often during the final round than he had done before which eventually led to his left hook hitting Chambers and knocking him out.

Post Klitschko fights

After beating Derric Rossy in an IBF title eliminator, Chambers faced former Light heavyweight and Cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek for the vacant IBF North American Heavyweight title. Adamek won the fight by unanimous decision in a relatively close fight, where judge Alan Rubenstein controversially scored it 119-109 in favour of Adamek. Chambers then moved down to Cruiserweight for a fight with South African contender Thabiso Mchunu. Following the rapid weight loss, Chambers gave a relatively poor showing and was outboxed by his South African foe over ten rounds.

From 2013 to 2015, Chambers was based solely in the United Kingdom. He was being trained by Peter Fury, who is also the trainer of the unified Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Heavyweight contender Hughie Fury, who're his nephew and son. Since then Chambers has signed with Al Haymon and made his US return in late 2015.

Other media

Eddie Chambers appeared on the video game, Fight Night Round 4 as a heavyweight. He also appeared on Fight Night Champion. He regularly appears as a commentator on the UK boxing TV channel Box Nation.
