[edit] Career
Julius Long's first professional bout, at the age of 24, was on January 17, 2001 when he defeated Malcolm Bond by TKO in the first round. He went on to win his next four fights, all by TKO and KO, in either the first or second round. He is a tall, hard-hitting fighter, who at 7' 1" has an amazing reach of 90". Long has fought many unknown fighters, and when he has fought known boxers he has usually been knocked out.
[edit] Long vs. Maddalone
During his last fight against fan favorite Vinny Maddalone an unintentional headbutt occurred during the 5th round, and Maddalone was forced to stop fighting, giving Julius Long a victory. However, later on that month the result was reversed to a 'No Contest', because Long had tested positive for an unknown substance.
Long subsequently fought in K-1 and got knocked out by Jan Nortje in his first fight.
