Allante was born September 30, 1991 in Montgomery, Alabama to Maria Nicole and an unknown father figure. Allante was taken from his mother at the age of six months, because his mother was deemed "unfit" to raise her children due to prescription drug and street drug abuse, along with suffering from schizophrenia. Allante has never met his siblings; all three of them were separated at around the same time.

To avoid being taken to a foster home, Allante's mother called her father, Willie, to come and adopt him so he could at least remain in the custody of family. Allante ended up being taken to his great-grandmother Juanita's home where he was raised over the course of the next 18 years. Most of the times when Allante spent time with his grandfather, it was for discipline. Physical abuse would rear its ugly head time after time, Allante as a young boy had no idea why he would be catching punches to the face. The abuse continued up until Allante was 17.

Allante developed anger issues. He needed to find an outlet, but his grandfather was so strict that he played Little League a couple of summers & that was it; Allante, however, liked physical contact since that was all he ever was met with.

It wasn't until Allante went to college in 2010 that he joined the Mixed martial arts club and participated in the wrestling activities for a short while, but then Allante got tired of hugging guys, so he took up the science of the hands, boxing.

The hard work began: countless miles ran, conditioning exercises & hours put into the campus fitness center. Allante never got linked with a trainer; he taught himself.

Allante wasn't able to get into a formal boxing gym until October 2013, where he signed up with Top Level Gym in Indianapolis, IN. He stayed for several months, but the trainer & atmosphere didn't suit him, so in February 2014, Allante gathered up all his chips & made the journey to Las Vegas, NV, where he currently trains at the Roy Jones Jr Fight Academy, looking to soon be signed by a major promoter and get a manager.

Allante had his professional debut on December 12, 2015 where he scored a second round KO over his opponent Roman Melendez (6-6).
