Herman Ngoudjo (born 25 June 1979) is a Cameroonian-Canadian formerprofessional boxer who competed from 2003 to 2010, and challenged twice for theIBFjunior-welterweight title in 2008 and 2009. As anamateur he represented Cameroon at the2000 Olympics, reaching the opening round of thebantamweight bracket. Earlier he won a silver medal at the1998 Commonwealth Games, also in the bantamweight division.

Ngoudjo turned professional on November 22, 2003 inMontreal, Quebec, where he now resides. He defeatedEloy Rojas on February 26, 2005 to win theNABFlight welterweight title andEmanuel Augustus on February 25, 2006 to win theWBC International light welterweight title. On January 20, 2007, he lost a split decision to top ten pound-for-pound super-lightweightJosé Luis Castillo.^[1] Ngoudjo was considered a tune-up fight for Castillo and shocked the HBO audience by going the distance in a WBC light welterweight title eliminator. He defeatedRandall Bailey in a split decision June 8 on ESPN to set up a fight for the IBF title.

On January 5, 2008 Ngoudjo was defeated byIBF light welterweight championPaul Malignaggi by unanimous decision at theBally's Hotel & Casino inAtlantic City,New Jersey. It was a highly competitive bout. Malignaggi controlled the fight early on, but in the 7th round Ngoudjo stunned the champ but was unable to capitalize. During the remainder of the fight Ngoudjo continued to be the aggressor but the judges awarded the fight to Malignaggi by a wide decision.

On June 6, 2008, atUniprix Stadium inMontreal, Quebec, Ngoudjo fought through a badly swollen left eye and managed a unanimous decision victory over formerWBA light welterweight championSouleymane M'baye. After Ngoudjo produced a stellar second round, he was faced with adversity the next round as his left eye quickly began to close. M'baye did his best to take advantage of Ngoudjo as he turned the fight into an inside battle. The ring doctor examined Ngoudjo at the beginning of the fifth round and proclaimed him fit to carry on. By the sixth round, Ngoudjo seemed in trouble as he was getting beaten up when on the inside and was getting picked off with relative ease when staying on the outside. M'baye seemed in control until the later rounds when Ngoudjo let his hands go to full effect. Ngoudjo won by scores of 117-111, 116-112, and 115-113.^[2]
