Tim VanNewhouse

Timothy Homes VanNewhouse (born 2-14-1986 in Cleveland, Ohio) was an American Lightweight Boxer and retired shortly after signing professional.

Amateur Career

Competed in 86 amateur bouts

While in middle school, he began his boxing career at the famed Kronk Gym (CLE, OH), winning a number of amateur titles, including the Washington D.C. Mayors Cup, the National Platinum Glove Championship, and the Cleveland Golden Gloves Featherweight Championship. In 2003 he was ranked as a top Featherweight in the country. In 2005, VanNewhouse moved to Las Vegas with the idea of turning pro and began training at Bob Arum’s Top Rank Boxing Gym under the tutelage of Richie Sandoval and Miguel Diaz But instead of accepting a contract to turn pro, he decided to pursue his dream of boxing in the Olympics. For the next two years, VanNewhouse fought out of Chattanooga, Tennessee winning the Chattanooga Golden Gloves, the Southern Golden Gloves Championship, and the Southeastern U.S Championship. VanNewhouse was the number one (1) rated lightweight in the south-- winning the outstanding boxer award in every southern tournament in 2007 making himself the 2008 Olympic Hopeful for the city of Chattanooga. But at the Olympic Trials qualifier, he lost a disputed split decision to top lightweight prospect Mason Menard and decided to turn professional.

Professional Career

VanNewhouse relocated to the Cleveland area where he began training under the guidance of Boxing Trainers, Joseph Delguyd and Mark Davis Sr. Reports show VanNewhouse being a sought after prospect for Promotional companies but seemed to never come to terms in the negotiation stage. However, VanNewhouse managed to make his professional debut on October 10th 2007, stopping his opponent Lee Kreisher in just two (2) rounds.

Professional Boxing Record 1 Wins (1 knockouts, 0 decisions), 0 Losses, 0 Draws, 0 No Contests

Retirement

VanNewhouse walked away from what looked to be a promising career. A statement was never officially recorded by the boxer so it's not clear why he made such decision. Reports do show VanNewhouse marrying his Middle-School sweetheart Nicole Sammon in the winter of 2007, shortly thereafter he joined the United States Air Force where he served as a medic at the Airforce Academy in Colorado Springs, CO.

To Date

Articles show VanNewhouse being honorably discharged in 2009. It's been recorded that he's been actively involved in the sport of boxing where he's promoting the career of lifelong friend Professional boxer Mark Davis.
