Tony Dominguez, Jr. is an American professional boxer.[1] He is locally known as Tony "Red" Dominguez because of his bright red hair. He was undefeated but unfortunately forced into early retirement due to a severely injured rotator cuff.[2]
Tony Dominguez was born to Antonio Dominguez, Sr, and Mary (Garcia) Dominguez. Dominguez was raised in a rough neighborhood which led to his defiance at home and early trouble with the law. He was constantly being teased for being red-headed which eventually pushed Dominguez to get into fights at school. After many fights with his peers, Dominguez discovered his talent for fighting and resulted in trying boxing as a sport.
As an amateur Tony Dominguez fought and won 21 bouts. Of the 21 wins, 19 were first-round knockouts. As a professional he fought 16 fights in which he won all of them. Of the 16 wins, 14 were wins by way of knockout. He quickly became a local favorite to the Stockton area alongside other local boxer, Kenny Lopez.[3]
Tony is married to his second wife Kristy (Holifield) Dominguez. He is a father of eight children.
