Former IKF
Pro Cruiserweight World Champion (1999) 11 Time Kickboxing WORLD
Champion.
On May 15th, 1999 in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA at 45 years
of age, Wilson stepped back into the ring to fight for the vacant
IKF Pro FCR Cruiserweight World Title against Dick
Kimber for what is still this day, the highest kickboxing purse ever paid,
$150,000.00 and some additional training expenses.
Kimber swore to
everyone that he'd have the fight over before the fifth round. However when the
Dragon unloaded on Kimber in round three, Kimber dropped to the mat and referee
Dan Stell counted him out on the floor.
Kimber never stood during the
count and to this date, Kimber never fought again. Having never been challenged
for his title, Wilson voluntarily retired it several years later.
