Anthony Tyrone Thompson (born October 18, 1971) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 2000 to 2016. He challenged twice for unified world heavyweight titles, in 2008 and 2012, both times against Wladimir Klitschko. Described by many observers and fighters as stylistically "awkward", Thompson was ranked by The Ring as the ninth best heavyweight in the world at the end of 2007 (April 2008 issue).
