Career edit

Delé turned pro in 1986, and captured the vacant WBA light middleweight title in 1991 with a technical knockout over Carlos Elliott. He defended the belt once before losing it to Vinny Pazienza later that year.[1] He retired in 1993 after unsuccessfully challenging IBF light-middleweight title holder Gianfranco Rosi twice.[2]
