Michael Spinks Wiki Biography
- Michael Spinks, better known by his stage name Jinx, was born in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA, on July 13, 1956.
- He is well known for being a former professional boxer who fought in the divisions of light-heavyweight and heavyweight and was both the world champion and an Olympic gold medalist.
- He is often acknowledged as the only one who twice beat Larry Holmes.
- His professional career, since 1977, has been active.
- It has been estimated, according to reliable sources, that the total sum of Michael’s net worth is as high as $100,000, with his professional boxing career as well as his career as a trainer being, of course, the main source of this amount of money.
- Judicial proceedings that are still pending mean that the net worth Michael can increase somewhat.
- Michael Spinks was raised by single mother Kay Spinks with six siblings since his father abandoned them when he was four.
- Michael worked in a gym before his boxing career started and, thanks to his older brother, heavyweight champion Leon Spinks, he began boxing training.
- He was a prolific amateur boxer before Michael’s professional career began, winning many titles and awards, including the Golden Gloves Light Middleweight Championship, and a gold medal at the Montreal 1976 Summer Olympics.
- Spinks had a record of 31 wins and just one loss during his career.
- By winning against Eddie Benson on 16 April 1977, he made his professional debut, and four years later, he won his first championship, beating Eddie Mustafa Muhammad for the light-heavyweight WBA title, which only increased his net worth and popularity.
- Little by little, against such boxers as Vonzell Johnson, Murray Sutherland, and Jerry Celestine, among others, Michael became one of the strongest boxers, defending his title several times.
- He held his titles on many occasions, fighting boxers Steffen Tangstad and Gerry Cooney, which only contributed to his net worth until he lost to Tyson in 1988.
- Michael has seldom appeared in public since he chose to retire, but it is reported that he has trained many boxers, which has contributed to his net worth.
- Most recently, though, Michael has faced some financial issues, when his promoter and boss, Butch Lewis, stopped paying Michael’s bills, and several unpaid bills came to Michael’s address after Lewis’s death in 2011, which only had a negative impact on his net worth.
- Michael has been inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame and the International Boxing Hall of Fame thanks to his success.
- He has been ranked by Boxrec and the International Boxing Research Organization as one of the ten greatest light heavyweights of all time.
- Michael Spinks, speaking about his personal life, was married to Sandy Massey until 1983, when she was killed in a car accident and had a daughter with him.
