Cruiserweight Ovill McKenzie, who came within a whisker of winning a world title in 2015, has announced his retirement due to a heart condition.It is with great sadness that I announce that I am retiring from boxing, McKenzie said. I have been diagnosed with a heart condition. I can no longer pursue my dream of being a world champion. I would like to take this time to thank everyone from my team to the fans.As disappointed as I am about the situation, it has been a great pleasure getting to perform for you all and I have to keep my chin up!The Jamaica-born McKenzie, 36, who calls England home, won the British and Commonwealth titles during his career, which began in 2003. But his biggest fight came in October 2015, when McKenzie (25-12-1, 13 KOs) traveled to Argentina on 11 days notice to challenge Victor Emilio Ramirez in Buenos Aires for his cruiserweight world title.McKenzie, who was promoted by Frank Warren and trained by Martin Bowers, fought the fight of his life but was denied the victory in a controversial split decision draw in which one judge scored it 115-113 for Ramirez, one had it 115-113 for McKenzie and one had it 114-114. He had not boxed since then.He won the Commonwealth light heavyweight title by second-round knockout of Peter Haymer in 2006 and won it for a second time by first-round knockout of Jeff Evans in 2011. In 2014, McKenzie won the Commonwealth cruiserweight title by fifth-round upset knockout of Tony Conquest and the British cruiserweight title by second-round knockout of John Lewis Dickinson. McKenzie earned the nickname The Upsetter because he defied the odds in unexpected victories against Conquest, Dickinson and Matty Askin.I was never the favorite to win those fights, McKenzie said. I was coming from light heavyweight and, even today, I can make that weight easily. I was never the favorite. They were the home fighters who called me in at late notice.Soccer Jerseys China .
