Career
Born in St. Catherine, Jamaica and based in St. Petersburg, Florida since 1998,[2] Thomas made his professional debut in April 2006 with a points loss to Ruben Rivera. He won his next 16 fights before defeat to Arron Lyons in December 2010. In August 2013 he suffered a fourth-round knockout at the hands of Dominic Breazeale. He won his next two fights before joining ESPN's 2015 Boxcino Tournament, in which he beat Jason Estrada in the quarter-final before being knocked out by Andrey Fedosov in the semi-final.
In May 2017 he faced Dave Allen for the vacant Commonwealth heavyweight title at Bramall Lane stadium in Sheffield, winning the title on a split decision.[3][4]
