'''Malcolm Earl Tann''' (born August 20, 1978) is an American former [professional boxer](/source/professional_boxer) who competed from 2002 to 2017.

==Amateur career==
Tann started boxing while serving in the [United States Air Force](/source/United_States_Air_Force).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/658465330/?terms=%22Malcolm%20Tann%22&match=1&clipping_id=111282082|title=All wound up and Raring to Go|work=[The Fresno Bee](/source/The_Fresno_Bee)|first=Milo F.|last=Bryant|date=November 1, 2002|access-date=October 13, 2022|page=D7|via=[Newspapers.com](/source/Newspapers.com)}}</ref> In 2002 Tann became [National Golden Gloves](/source/National_Golden_Gloves) [Super Heavyweight Champion](/source/Super_Heavyweight_Champion) with a win over, among others, Nathaniel James.

==Professional career==
Tann won his first eight bouts, including a bizarre disqualification win over journeyman [Clifford Couser](/source/Clifford_Couser) (Couser was DQ'd for picking Tann up, slamming him to the mat, then trying to hit him while he was down) in 2003,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=20030713&id=AglPAAAAIBAJ&pg=3371,3529633|title=Boxer disqualified for body slam|date=13 July 2003|work=[Star-News](/source/Star-News)|page=3C|access-date=2 November 2014}}</ref> but was dropped and decisioned by Willie Chapman that same year.  In 2004 he beat Jason Gavern and in 2005 beat [Derek Bryant](/source/Derek_Bryant_(boxer)), but later in the year had another defeat, to Domonic Jenkins via decision. During two separate bouts in 2007 televised by [ShoBox](/source/ShoBox), Tann was knocked out by heavyweights [Chris Arreola](/source/Chris_Arreola) and [Alexander Dimitrenko](/source/Alexander_Dimitrenko).  After the loss to Dimitrenko, Tann retired from boxing.
