Although he was born in Haiti, at the age of seven, alongside his family Adonis moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. At the age of 14 he ended up living on the streets and being a member of a local gang. Living a criminal lifestyle, at the age of 21 young Adonis was charged for issuing threats and managing prostitutes, and was sentenced to a four-year jail sentence. However, after 18 months, in 2001 Stevenson was released and vowed to himself that he would never return to his criminal past, so he dedicated his attention to sport – boxing. After three years, he won his first amateur title, the Quebec Middleweight Champion. This was followed with several other amateur boxing titles, including the Canadian National Title two years in a row, in 2005 and 2006 as well as the silver medal at the 2006 XVIII Commonwealth Games which took place in Melbourne, Australia. Before turning professional in September 2006, Adonis was named Canada’s best amateur fighter.
His professional debut fight against Mike Funk, Stevenson ended after only 22 seconds, defeating his opponent by a knock-out. This success helped Adonis Stevenson to establish himself as a promising boxer and helped him later in his career to add sums to his net worth.
After scoring a streak of 13 consecutive wins, in April 2010, Adonis suffered his first and so far only defeat in his professional career, when he was knocked-out in the second round against American boxer Darnell Boone. However, in April 2011 he won his first professional titles, the World Boxing Association’s and the North American Boxing Association’s super-middleweight titles, which were followed by the WBC’s Silver super-middleweight title in 2012. It is certain that all these achievements made a huge impact on Adonis Stevenson’s boxing reputation, as well as his net worth.
In June 2013, after defeating Chad Dawson, Adonis claimed the WBC’s Lineal as well as the Ring Magazine’s light-heavyweight championships, the title which he has managed to retain to this day. In his professional boxing career so far, Adonis Stevenson has won 29 of 30 fights, of which 24 were ended by him knocking-out his opponents. Doubtlessly, these rather impressive statistics have helped Adonis Stevenson to dramatically increase the total of his revenues by a large margin.
