Phillip Ndou (born May 4, 1977 in Thohoyandou, South Africa) was a boxer. He had an excellent knockout percentage, with a record of 31-3 (30 KOs). He was forced into early retirement when he collapsed after a loss to Isaac Hlatshwayo. A brain scan revealed an abnormality that would endanger Ndou's health if he continued to box.
Ndou never won a major world title, but he won many minor title fights at featherweight and super featherweight. His most notable fight was an entertaining seven-round bout against WBC lightweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. on November 1, 2003.
Coincidentally, Ndou had competed in the same featherweight boxing tournament as Mayweather at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Ndou lost in the second round to the eventual gold medalist, Kamsing Somluck of Thailand.
In a suprise move Ndou recently announced his intentions to come back from retirement subject to a confirmation by doctors that the tumor that was diagnosed has disappeared. The extent of ndou intentions was further cemented by his severing of ties with his former trainer Nick Durandt as all possible champions he can challenge are in Nick Durandt stable. From Phillip own analysis he comes back a better fighter with more patience not the person who would try to kill his opponent from the first round, which is also what gave him his reputation and great knock-out ratio in the ring.
