Boxing career
Amateur career
Seabrooks started boxing with the local Police Athletic League at age 11. Seabrooks went to win four N.C. Golden Gloves championships. A highlight of his boxing career was winning a bronze medal at the 1980 Olympic trials; however, he didn't get to go to the Olympics. President Jimmy Carter boycotted the Summer Olympics in Moscow that year to protest the December 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Professional career
Seabrooks turned professional in 1981. In 1987, Seabrooks won the United States Boxing Association bantamweight championship, but gave up his title to compete in the world championship. He became the International Boxing Federation world bantamweight champion that year with a fifth-round knockout of Miguel Maturana in Cartagena, Colombia. His first title defense against Frenchman Thierry Jacob, ended in controversy as it was initially declared a draw[1] but later ruled on as a win for Seabrooks.[2] His next defense was more straight forward beating filipino contender Ernie Cataluna via fourth round stoppage.[3] He would eventually lose the title to Orlando Canizales in 1988. Seabrooks retired in 1995 after six consecutive losses.
