Journeyman heavyweight Curtis Harper (14-8, 9 KOs) gained viral fame when he left the ring without even throwing a punch vs. Efe Ajagba (“I’m not proud about that,” said Curtis), but many don’t know that what he cares about is fighting for charity, mental awareness and he wants to be best possible husband and father. Harper also loves to fight (“I’m the guy who fights undefeated rivals”), being in the ring since he was 13 years old. On Saturday, Curtis fights Polish prospect Damian Knyba (10-0, 6 KO) in Newark’s Prudential Center, on the undercard of “Top Rank” Shakur Stevenson-Shuichiro Yoshino main event. And Harper is sure what will happen: “I will win.”

Only reason I would leave the ring like that is if I ate some food truck burritos with extra hot sauce before the fight
And in this fight, he will be fighting for his 9th professional loss.
He will always be known for that moment. When his life is over, that is one of the first things that will be mentioned about him publicly [“Former boxer, Curtis Harper, who once lost a fight without setting foot in the ring….]. HOWEVER, when he does get in the ring Curtis Harper is a decent, respectable journeyman level guy and the sport does not exist without those types.
Only, he did step foot in the ring for that fight and then walked out before the bell was rung.
The life of a journeyman prize fighter. Hard Knocks but you got to respect it.
Disgusting that any promoter would put this sack of shi7 back in the ring after the stunt he pulled.
You have to put that back in context i suppose..
