Collins, Steve (1964– )

Irish boxer, born in Cabra, County Dublin. The winner of 36 professional fights, Collins's durability in the ring made him an extremely tough opponent. As an amateur, he won titles at three different divisions before electing to box at middleweight when turning professional in 1986. Although winning 16 straight fights, Collins also suffered marginal defeats in 1990 and 1992 against the US boxers Mike McCallum and Reggie Johnson respectively. On 11 May 1994 he defeated Chris Pyatt to take the WBO middleweight crown. The chance to fight Chris Eubank saw Collins vacate his crown and on 18 March 1995 in Millstreet, County Cork, he created an upset when he defeated Eubank on points to take the WBO super-middleweight title.
