Julius Long

Julius Long (born May 28, 1977) is an American professional boxer and kickboxer, who turned professional in 2001. He stands at 7' 1" and weighs 250+ lbs.

Career
Julius Long's first professional bout, at the age of 24, was on January 17, 2001 when he defeated Malcolm Bond by TKO in the first round. He went on to win his next four fights, all by TKO and KO, in either the first or second round. He is a tall, hard-hitting fighter, who at 7' 1" has an amazing reach of 90". Long has fought many unknown fighters, and when he has fought known boxers he has usually been knocked out.

Long subsequently fought a kickboxing bout in K-1 and lost to giant Jan Nortje and after giving him a very tough fight.

Long vs. Maddalone
During his last fight against fan favorite Vinny Maddalone an unintentional headbutt occurred during the 5th round, and Maddalone was forced to stop fighting, giving Julius Long a victory. However, later on that month the result was reversed to a 'No Contest', because Long had tested positive for marijuana.

Personal
Long's brother is Grant Long and cousin is Terry Mills, both NBA players. His uncle is John Long, who played for the Detroit Pistons. Long has also been fighting a personal battle with Ryan McMahon, the outcome is yet to be decided. Long has always been seen as the rank outsider.
