Carl Baker (born 3 January 1982) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 2003 to 2014.

Professional career

Baker made his professional debut on 6 September 2003, stopping Dave Clarke in the first round. The highlight of Baker's career was competing in the heavyweight edition of the Prizefighter series on 2 October 2009. He entered the tournament as an outsider, but defeated one of the favourites—Danny Williams—by unanimous decision (UD) in the opening round, while also scoring two knockdowns against Williams in the first round of their fight.[1] In the semi-final, Baker was eliminated after losing a UD to Coleman Barrett.

On 13 February 2010, Baker fought Derek Chisora in a British title eliminator, with the winner to face Williams.[2] Chisora grabbed and kissed Baker at the weigh-in for the fight.[3] Chisora stopped Baker in the second round.[4]
