Ben Tackie
Benjamin Tackie (born 23 July 1973) is a Ghanaian former professional boxer and world title challenger.Known as "Wonder", Tackie turned pro in 1994 and won his first 18 fights before losing a decision to Gregorio Vargas in 1999.In 2002, he took on Kostya Tszyu for the unified WBC, WBA and IBF light welterweight titles but lost a decision.In February 2015, Tackie's stalking conviction was reversed in Bronx county court in New York.The threat communicated "Don't let me use my boxing skills on you" apparently did not rise to the legal requirement to uphold his conviction.
