Ian Gardner (born May 5, 1981),[1] nicknamed The Cobra because of his slithering movements on the boxing ring, is a junior-middleweight boxer who was born and raised in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, but now resides in the small town of Weymouth Nova Scotia, Canada.
Gardner is one of just six men who have gone the distance with the WBA, WBC, IBO and IBF middleweight champion; Gennadiy Golovkin. He also fought world champions Arthur Abraham and Chad Dawson.
