Eric Carr (born January 26, 1975) is a professional cruiserweight boxer from the United States. Carr’s amateur boxing career began at the impressionable age of 14. His amateur career produced a remarkable record of 96 wins with 6 losses. His powerful right punch grabbed the 1991 Silver Gloves, before snatching the 1992 and 1993 Golden Gloves championships. In 1995, Carr made his professional debut with a first round (1:56) knockout in Greenville, South Carolina. He is a stylish right hand boxer that punches with power. Carr is undefeated.

Carr’s natural ability and courageous heart attracted the privilege to spar with champions, including seven time world champion Tommy Hit Man Hearns, former world Middleweight champion Iran Barkley, former WBC Continental Middleweight champion Kid Fire Parks, and 1984 Olympic medal winner Frank Tate, the former world Middleweight champion. Carr credits training camp experiences with trainer Johnny Powell for his finely tuned boxing skills. Powell served as co-trainer with Eddie Fruch, known for his work with Michael Spinks and Leon Spinks. Carr also trained with former world champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, and David Parks, the architect of Lamar “Kid Fire” Parks.

Carr has won bouts in Greenville, South Carolina, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Las Vegas, Nevada. He has won bouts, produced by George Foreman’s bother, Roy Foreman of Ro Ro, Inc. and promoter James Sultan of Fourth Round Promotions. Carr earned the highly recognized Progressive Amateur Boxing Association’s (PABA) “Champion of Tomorrow” Award. The organization was founded by former heavyweight boxer Reverend Ray Martin in Houston, Texas.
