Joshua Clottey (born in March 16, 1977 in Accra, Ghana) is a Welterweight boxer who hails from Accra, Ghana, but now lives in the Bronx, New York. He was, as of 2006, a world-ranked boxer.
On December 2, 2006, Clottey was a contender for world boxing champion, but he broke his hand in the fourth round of his first title try. He ended up losing a closer then expected unanimous decision to world boxing organization champion Antonio Margarito. On April 7th, Clottey earned a unanimous decision over Diego Corrales, in what was Corrales' final fight prior to his tragic death.
In December 2007 Clottey positioned himself for another title shot with a win over prospect Shamone Alvarez [1].
