Jo El Scott
Jo-el Scott (born March 25, 1971, in Albany, NY) is a former professional boxer, who is now serving a life prison sentence for rape and murder. Professional career Scott was seen as having the potential to be the next great heavyweight during a run in the mid-1990s where he began his career with 18 consecutive knockouts. Scott's run came to an abrupt end in 1996 when Scott, having had issues with drug abuse in the past, was convicted of rape and served four years in state prison. After his release, Scott's potential faded to mere illusion. In 2002, he was KO'd at the Playboy Mansion in a bout with unheralded Francis Royal and later dropped a fight by TKO to Ray Austin in 2003, failing to come out for the eighth round. Crimes outside the ring The fight with Austin proved to be Scott's farewell, as he has since hit another major legal roadblock. Scott was convicted of murder for an incident in 2004 in Albany's South End. He was incarcerated in the Elmira Correctional Faci ...

The International Boxing Association (IBA), previously known as the Association Internationale de Boxe Amateur (AIBA), is a sports organization that sanctions amateur and professional boxing matches and awards world and subordinate championships. It is one of the oldest boxing federations in the world, coming into existence after the 1920 Summer Olympics. The IBA consists of five continental confederations, the African Boxing Confederation, American Boxing Confederation, Asian Boxing Confederation, European Boxing Confederation, and Oceania Boxing Confederation.
