Kertson Manswell
Kertson Manswell (born October 28, 1976) also known as The Pride of Tobago, is a heavyweight boxer from Trinidad and Tobago.

Amateur career

At the 2002 Commonwealth Games, Manswell won the silver medal, losing the gold to Canadian Jason Douglas. Manswell again won silver at the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games, losing final to Victor Bisbal. At the 2003 Pan Am Games Manswell beat American Devin Vargas in the semifinals, but lost in the final to Cuban Odlanier Solis 3 to 15, giving him yet another silver medal. Manswell lost to Vargas in 2004 at the Olympic Qualifying Tournament and did not continue to the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Professional career

Manswell turned pro in 2004 at age 27 and beat his first 20 opponents, including Louis Monaco.

Manswell signed with boxing promoter Don King.

In 2011 Manswell lost three fights in a row; first KO'd by Bermane Stiverne, then outpointed by undefeated Mike Perez and fringe contender Cedric Boswell.

In 2012 he was outpointed by former and future world champion Ruslan Chagaev.

MMA

In 2018 Manswell at the age of 43 announced that he would begin training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and would be featured in the main bout against MMA fighter and sambo champion Jeremy Rodulfo in the Ruff and Tuff MMA tournament in Couva.
Rodulfo defeated Manswell by securing a submission via a rear naked choke hold.
