Name: Marty Kizer
Hometown: Gary, Indiana USA

Marty Kizer started boxing in 1978 under the tutelage of Charles Murphy on the Mayor Hatcher Youth Foundation Boxing Club in Gary, Indiana. He won his first state championship in the 95 lb sub-novice division in the 1979 Indiana AAU/Junior Olympics in only his second fight. A year later he was fighting in the Novice division in the 1980 Chicago Golden Gloves finals where he lost a decision to Kevin Toomey in the light Flyweight division after stopping his semifinal opponent. Two years later in the 1981 Chicago Golden Gloves finals, under coach [[John Labroi]] in the Calumet Township Trustee Boxing Club in Gary, he lost a decision to [[Roosevelt McCullum]]. The same year he progressed to the finals of the Chicago CYO tournament with undoubtedly the best showing of his career, a defeat of the highly regarded [[Jeff Silva]] in the semi-finals. After joining the navy in 1983, he made the 1984 all navy boxing team under legendary coaches Richard Pettigrew and [[John Hunter]]. Pettigrew, the all navy heavyweight champion in 1960, 1961, 1962, and 1964 as well as the heavyweight alternate in the 1964 Olympics trained many champions including Olympian, [[Duane Bobick]]. Marty's very first fight on the all-navy team was against the Army team at Ft Bragg where he lost a close decision to future Olympic Gold Medalist, [[Kennedy McKinney]] in an action packed, toe to toe battle. His next fight was at the Eastern Sports Festival Trials where he won is first fight on a first round stoppage, but lost the semifinal bout. After a season competing on a national level against top competition, including the inaugural DC Mayor's Cup Tournament, he represented the navy at the all-military championships losing the semifinal bout against Marine, Zrinnell Webster. He made the 1985 team and it was more of the same including a semifinal appearance in the Ohio State Fair. After defeating the Marine in the all-service semifinals, he lost to McKinney again in the 1985 all military finals. His last two amateur bouts were in the 1985 USA ABF national tournament. Kizer is now a professional vocalist/worship leader/recording artist in Florida.
