Eddie White - What happened to him?

[Controversial]

Eddie White's career ended as 19-0 (11 ko's) with 7 of those KOs in the 1st round. He won the IBO super-middleweight title against tough and hard hitting contender Dwight Davison yet never defended the title? He fought in 1997 and then disappeared off the scene until 2005 when he had one more fight and then never fought again.

Anyone know anything about him, was he jailed, injured?

only info i found was he was sentenced to 10 years in prison

he was stripped of his title right after winning it.why???

it seems that there is no info on any of this that i could find.sorry.

Or, much closer to home for George Hernandez, witness the police arrest of boxer Eddie White. He was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to deliver last June in Country Club Hills. White was International Boxing Organization super-middleweight world champion. And he was trainer Hernandez' top professional prospect.
