'''Shane Sutcliffe''' (born June 17, 1975) is a Canadian former [professional boxer](/source/professional_boxer) who competed from 1992 to 2004. He is referred to as "Kid Thunder" by his fans.
==Career==
Sutcliffe was born in [Victoria, British Columbia](/source/Victoria%2C_British_Columbia), Canada and raised in [Regina, Saskatchewan](/source/Regina%2C_Saskatchewan), before moving to [Nanaimo](/source/Nanaimo), [British Columbia](/source/British_Columbia) at age 12. He had no formal amateur boxing career; after winning 22 "[Toughman Contests](/source/Toughman_Contests)" in Canada, he made his professional boxing debut in 1992 at the age of 17. His first fight resulted in a sixth-round decision victory over Joe Wade. Shortly afterward he moved to [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles), [California](/source/California) and eventually [Las Vegas](/source/Las_Vegas_Valley), [Nevada](/source/Nevada), to train with the legendary [Eddie Futch](/source/Eddie_Futch). He won other fights by unexpected margins, including a 3-round defeat of Ray Phillips [[https://books.google.com/books?id=Pm2XDk_dUCwC&pg=PA128&dq=Shane+Sutcliffe&ei=JHpZS7aUHaa8zgSb85mbBg&cd=1 Rocky lives!: heavyweight boxing upsets of the 1990s - p. 128]]
In 1997, Sutcliffe moved to and fought out of [Montreal](/source/Montreal), [Quebec](/source/Quebec), after signing a contract with International Boxing Management Interbox. On April 3, 1998, he defeated Ben Perlini via sixth round [knockout](/source/knockout) to win the Canadian Heavyweight championship. In his third defense of the title on February 5, 1999, Sutcliffe lost via 12th-round TKO to former World titleholder [Trevor Berbick](/source/Trevor_Berbick) in Montreal. His contract was then dropped by Interbox as a result. He challenged Berbick again for the title on May 26, 2000, in Vancouver. However, he dropped a close 12 round unanimous decision in that contest.[[https://www.cbc.ca/sports/berbick-retains-canadian-heavyweight-boxing-title-1.208529 Berbick retains Canadian heavyweight boxing title, CBC Sports]]
Sutcliffe took over 2 years off from boxing to start a family after losing to fellow Canadian [Patrice L'Heureux](/source/Patrice_L'Heureux) on November 30, 2001. After the birth of his son, Sutcliffe worked construction to provide a steadier source of income for his new family. However, he returned to the sport in 2004, dropping decisions to Wesley Martin and [Louis Monaco](/source/Louis_Monaco).
Sutcliffe is what is termed a ''journeyman'' fighter, one who "journeys" to a variety of places (often on short notice) to provide relatively easy competition for up-and-coming prospects or fading former champions. He counted [Tyrell Biggs](/source/Tyrell_Biggs), [Leon Spinks](/source/Leon_Spinks), [Trevor Berbick](/source/Trevor_Berbick), [Oleg Maskaev](/source/Oleg_Maskaev), [Brian Nielsen](/source/Brian_Nielsen_(boxer)), and [David Tua](/source/David_Tua) among the opponents he faced.[[http://www.allbusiness.com/sports-recreation/sports-games-outdoor-recreation-boxing/6768522-1.html IBF Junior Lightweight Champion Roberto Garcia'sTitle Defense Against Diego Corrales to Headline, Publication: Business Wire]. Accessed November 8, 2022.] As of the beginning of 2006, his ring record stands at 25 wins (15 [knockout](/source/knockout)s), 14 losses, and one draw in 40 professional contests.
