			Gastineau took up boxing and turned professional in 1991. He won his first nine fights by knockout, but there were allegations that some of his fights were fixed by his promoter, [[Elvis Parker\|Rick "Elvis" Parker]].

			Parker was reportedly promised a big payday against [[George Foreman]] if he could get Gastineau to 12-0.
