Travis Kauffman (born August 21, 1985) is an American professional boxer who fights at the heavyweight weight class.

Professional career

Kauffman made his professional debut in 2006.

On December 5, 2008, Kauffman made his national TV debut with a third round knockout of once-beaten Malachy Farrell on ShoBox: The New Generation. Kauffman followed up with a pair of early knockouts against clubfighters Cliff Couser and southpaw Livin Castillo.

In 2009, he was knocked out by Tony Grano. Kauffman asked Grano for a rematch but was turned down several times. He then fought Mike Miller, winning a shut-out unanimous decision. Then he knocked out Ohio's hard-punching Chris Koval in a two-round destruction and picked up the WBF intertitle.

He signed a promotional agreement with Empire Sports and Entertainment. He was released by Empire and then re-signed with the same promoter in 2012 under a different name: Greg Cohen Promotions.

Kauffman was then 21-1 with 16 KOs. On December 17, 2010, he fought Ross Thompson and won by DQ. He then fought Sean Williams, who he KO'd in 1 round. Kauffman fought Charles Davis, winning a 7-round UD, which was sadly stopped due to rain. In February 2013, Kauffman vs Willie Perryman ended in a 2-round KO win that put Kauffman to 24-1, 18 KOs. At that time, he was rated 14th by the WBA.

Kauffman won an 8-round UD over Arron Lyons in August 2013. Then, in September 2013 Kauffman beat Stacy Frazier in 2 short rounds, breaking Frazier's ribs, to move to 26-1, 19 KOs, and ranked 10th by the WBA.

Kauffman fought Jason Barnett on November 30, 2013, breaking his ribs in 1 round for a KO win and the WBU inter heavyweight title.

Kauffman took on Vincent Thompson on January 25, 2014, out-working him over 10 rounds and winning the WBA federation title that became Kauffman's 3rd minor belt. Kauffman is currently on a 10-fight win streak. Also, Kauffman has started to work with trainer Nassim Richardson and has help from Al Cole, a former cruiserweight title holder. Kauffman, now 30, is moving up the ranks of the WBA, looking to get into the top 5 with his latest win.
