Thue Björn Thomsen was born December 21, 1972 in the city of Aasiaat , Greenland .

Amateur career

He first made his name in the 1996 season by winning the Copenhagen Cup and the international tournament in Greece.

In 1997, he won a bronze medal at the international Tammer tournament in Finland, won silver at the Multi Nations tournament in England, and won the BoxAm tournament in Spain.

Professional career

Leaving the location of the Danish national team, in December 1997, Thomsen successfully debuted on a professional level. For a long time he did not know defeats, although he boxed exclusively in the Danish home rings, and the level of his opposition was not very high.

In November 1998, he won on points the American veteran Airen Barkley (43-13-1).

In 1999, he won the vacant Danish Heavyweight Championship.

In March 2000, he defeated American Nate Miller (31-7) by technical solution, becoming the owner of the World Boxing Council (IBC) world champion title.

The first and only defeat in his professional career was in May 2000 - by knockout from a little-known representative of South Africa, Jacob Mofoken (19-6-1).

Subsequently, he spent four more fights, including defeating a fairly strong American boxer Rob Calloway (39-3).

He died on April 23, 2006, having received stab wounds in a fight in one of the bars in the center of Copenhagen ^[2] .
