Charlie Weir was a professional middleweight boxer from South Africa.
Charles Henry Hughwright Weir (Charlie Weir) was born in Kimberley on 26 November 1956. After completing his compulsory National Service, he became a professional boxer. He had 34 professional bouts, of which he won 31.
Weir had a distinctive patch of white hair, caused by a childhood cut in the scalp, which made him immediately recognisable and earned him the nickname of the "Silver Assassin".[1] He fought Davey Moore for the WBA Junior Middleweight title in 1982 in Johannesburg, but lost in a 5th-round KO.
Weir died of cancer on 19 June 1992 at the age of 35.
