'''Andre Michael Berto''' (born September 7, 1983) is a professional boxer who holds dual Haitian and American citizenship. A two-time former welterweight world champion, he held the WBC and IBF titles between 2008 and 2011, and the WBA interim title in 2015. As an amateur, he won the National Golden Gloves tournament in 2001 (at light middleweight) and 2003 (welterweight), and would represent the U.S. at the 2003 World Championships, winning a welterweight bronze medal. He also represented Haiti at the 2004 Olympics, reaching the opening round of the welterweight bracket.
Throughout his career, Berto was known for his toughness, formidable punching power, and fast hand speed. In the late 2000s he was considered a rising star in the welterweight division, as well as a highly regarded young prospect in boxing. He reached the peak of his career in 2011, holding the WBC welterweight title which he had won in 2008 and made five defenses, and was ranked as the world's third best welterweight, behind then-top stars Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Berto's success was cut short after his first career loss to Victor Ortiz in 2011, which won Fight of the Year honors by ''The Ring'' magazine. Afterwards, Berto's career fluctuated: from 2012 to 2015 he lost a further three times, but bounced back in 2016 with a win over Ortiz in a rematch.
==Early life== The son of Haitian immigrants, Berto was one of seven children born and raised in Winter Haven, Florida. Multiple members of the Berto family would become involved in combat sports. Andre's sister Revelina and brother James are both professional mixed martial artists. Their father Dieuseul is a retired professional kickboxer who competed at UFC 10. Andre was introduced to boxing by his father after getting beat up multiple times by classmates. Dieuseul taught the sport to Berto at his own school in Winter Haven called Tiger's World. For Berto, the sport of boxing became a solace to stay out of trouble in the rough community in which he grew up.<ref name="TSS">{{cite web |last=Schulberg |first=Benn |title=Andre Berto: New Star in Town |publisher=The Sweet Science |date=February 6, 2006 |url=http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/3384/andre-berto-new-star-town/ |access-date=April 19, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201142842/http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/3384/andre-berto-new-star-town/ |archive-date=December 1, 2008 }}</ref>
==Amateur career== As an amateur, Berto won a bronze medal in the 2003 World championships. He was also a two-time U.S. National Golden Gloves champion, a two-time National PAL champion, a three-time U.S. amateur championship medalist, and won 22 state titles in Florida.<ref name="TSS"/> Prior to the 2003 World championships, Berto defeated future world title challenger Andre Dirrell, and future three-weight world champion Timothy Bradley twice.{{citation needed|date=July 2022}}
===2004 Olympics=== Berto was an odds-on favorite to breeze through the 2004 Olympic Trials and qualify as a member of the US Olympic boxing squad. Those dreams were dashed in the opening round of the trials, when he was disqualified for throwing Juan McPherson to the canvas. Berto was winning the fight, before McPherson bumped into him before being pushed to the canvas, and was deemed in no condition to continue. The act was ruled a flagrant foul, and Berto was disqualified. A protest was ruled in his favor, as he was declared the winner and advanced to the next round. Berto won that bout as well and prepared for the finals before a follow-up meeting the night before reverted to the initial ruling, eliminating Berto from the tournament. Because his parents emigrated from Haiti, Berto was able to keep his Olympic hopes alive, qualifying for Team Haiti, and subsequently granted Haitian citizenship alongside his American nationality, an exception the island country awarded the Olympian.<ref>{{cite web|last=Donovan |first=Jake |title=Andre Berto Prepares For Phase Two of His Career |publisher=BoxingScene.com |date=February 6, 2006 |url=http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/3384/andre-berto-new-star-town |access-date=April 19, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201142842/http://www.thesweetscience.com/boxing-article/3384/andre-berto-new-star-town/ |archive-date=December 1, 2008 }}</ref> Berto lost in the first-round to Xavier Noel of France.<ref name="TSS"/>

====Berto vs. Ortiz II==== Five years after their first slugfest, Berto and Victor Ortíz finally met in a rematch on April 30, 2016, at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Many experts called the fight dirty due to constant clash of heads and blood pouring from both fighters. Berto said, "I have to give him credit, but he's a rough fighter. He has great skills, but at the same time, he's going to be rough and try to handle me any way he can. I got a lot of head butts, and he did, too. Shawn is a tough competitor.

One judge scored the bout 114–113 for Alexander, but the remaining two judges overruled, both scoring 115–112 in favor of Berto, giving him the win. Alexander had the better workrate of the two in the opening rounds and dropped Berto in round 3 after catching him with a left hand to the head. Replays showed the two shots landed on the back of Berto's head. The knockdown stood because Berto had rotated his head before the punches landed. Alexander began to tire around midway and Berto started taking over. In round 7, after trading on the inside, Berto suffered a cut near his right eye. Berto was at his best in round 12 using both hands. Alexander fought back and both boxers traded close as the fight came to an end. Websites, Boxing Scene and BadLeftHook had Alexander the winner and felt although Berto caught up in the later rounds, he did not do enough to win the fight.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.badlefthook.com/2018/8/4/17652308/andre-berto-wins-split-decision-over-devon-alexander|title=Andre Berto wins split decision over Devon Alexander|work=Bad Left Hook|access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/berto-gets-off-floor-rallies-decision-alexander-results--130617|title=Berto Gets Off The Floor, Rallies To Decision Alexander|work=BoxingScene.com|access-date=August 6, 2018|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/scorecards/Andre-Berto-vs-Devon-Alexander--185|title=Andre Berto vs. Devon Alexander scorecard - Boxing News|website=www.boxingscene.com|language=en-us|access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref> Alexander thought the fight was close, but should have taken the decision.
