Kim Tae-shik (Korean: 김태식; Hanja: 金泰式; RR: Gim Tae-sik; MR: Kim T'ae-sik; born July 4, 1957) is a South Korean former professional boxer who competed from 1977 to 1982. He held the World Boxing Association (WBA) flyweight title in 1980.
Professional career
In 1980, Kim became the WBA flyweight champion with a 2-round KO win over Luis Ibarra. He defended the belt once before losing it to Peter Mathebula by a controversial 2-1, split decision in the same year.[1]
In 1981, Kim challenged Antonio Avelar for the WBC flyweight title but was knocked out in the second round.[2]
In 1982, Kim defeated Roberto Ramirez in a non-title bout by split decision. However, he lost consciousness within a short time after the decision. Kim was immediately taken to hospital and had emergency surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain. He spent three days in a coma, after which Kim was forced into retirement.
