Enrique Pinder (August 7, 1947 – June 15, 2024) was a Panamanian professional boxer who competed from 1966 until 1973. He held the undisputed WBA, WBC, and The Ring bantamweight titles from 1972 to 1973.

Professional career

In 1966, Pinder began his professional career successfully. In late July 1972, he boxed against Rafael Herrera for the WBA, WBC and The Ring Bantamweight championships and won by unanimous judges' decision. He was stipped of the WBC title for not facing mandatory challenger Rodolfo Martínez within six months of winning the title.[1] He lost the WBA title in his first defense to Romeo Anaya of Mexico by knockout. After suffering back-to-back defeats in the same year, Pinder ended his career with a record of 35 wins with 13 knockouts, 7 defeats and 2 draws.
