In 2008 USA Boxing ranks Tor Hamer the number one amateur Super Heavyweight in the country. Tor grew up in New York City and began boxing in 2004 (competitively in 2006). Though Tor has only been boxing for a short time, he is not a stranger to the discipline of fighting: he spent ten years studying martial arts and has 16 sport karate national championships.

Tor began boxing out of Joe Frazier’s gym in Philadelphia. It was there he found his love of boxing. However, it wasn’t until Tor met his current trainer, Shaun Raysor, at Kingsway Boxing, in New York City, who enabled him to take his love of boxing into an art. After a few months of training at Kingsway, Tor and Shaun were able to find a home at Gleason’s Gym, in Brooklyn, New York. Shaun’s uncanny training methods, couple with help from Shaun’s mentor, Robert Miles, Tor has been able to compile an astonishing 34-1 amature record, avenging his only loss with a knockout.

Tor Hamer is a two-time LI Amateur Boxing Champion, two-time NYC Golden Gloves Champion, NY State Golden Glove Champion, National Golden Glove Champion, NY Metro Champion, NY State Champion, and Regional 1 Champion.

These accomplishments in the ring pushed him to sign a pro contract with DiBella Entertainment on July 22, 2008 in order to test his mettle against the best in the sport.

Tor maintains that without his parents, Barbra Smith-Hamer and Dr. Irving Hamer, he would not have realized much success in the ring. They emphasized that a proper education was imperative for future security, therefore, supporting Tor as he sought his bachelor’s degree from Penn State. He thanks them for this and considers his education his greatest weapon entering into the professional ranks.
