Iván Calderón Marrero (born January 27, 1975) is a Puerto Rican former
Personal life
Iván Calderón was born in the municipality of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and currently resides in a sector called "Las Americas" in Bayamón.[2] Iván had a troubling childhood surrounded by violence and problems, which according to him has helped him develop more patience which has helped him in his personal life.[3] Calderón attended middle school in José Nevárez Landrón School, located in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico.[4] His first wife was Wilma Laguna, with whom he has two children, Wilvani and Iván junior.[5] In an interview with El Nuevo Día he noted that he engaged Laguna on August 29, 1997, following a quinceañero and the couple married on February 5, 1999.[2] According to him the couple had some disagreements when they met, based on some attitudes he presented, he also notes that he felt she was arrogant at first.[5] However, on one day he decided to propose to her and after four months of establishing a relationship the couple moved in together.[5] Calderón expressed that he is "too much of a house man" and claims that as a result of a rule established by his former wife any kind of non-familiar activity is prohibited on Sundays.[6] In January 2009, it was made public that Calderón and Laguna had established a divorce process.
He is married to A. Maldonado Garcia Dennisse; a prepared and educated woman. Maldonado has his Bachelors of Business Administration from the University Ana G. Mendez. Currently has a daughter named Diannelys E. Calderon.
Calderón spends the money that he earns boxing on properties and he is associated with a company dedicated to satellite vehicle tracking.
On November 16, 2011, Federal agents in Puerto Rico seized more than $4 million worth cocaine from a house owned by Calderon. Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Laila Rico said 225 kilograms (nearly 500 pounds) of cocaine were found when agents raided the house in the coastal town of Humacao. Calderon denied knowledge of the narcotics and was never formally charged with an offence.[9]
Amateur career
In 1993, Calderón defeated Miguel Cotto in the light flyweight division, when both boxers were in the early stages of amateur experience.[10] Following this, both athletes developed a close friendship.[11] Calderón lost to Brian Viloria once during his amateur boxing career, but defeated him three times before turning professional. In addition, Calderon competed as an international amateur in several tournaments, including the following:
- 1999 3rd place as a Light Flyweight at Pan-American Gamesin Winnipeg, Canada. Results were:
- Defeated Wilfrido Valez (Colombia) points
- Defeated Mendeo Winston (Dominican Republic) points
- Lost to Maikro Romero (Cuba) points
- 2000 represented Puerto Rico as a light flyweight at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Result was:
- Lost to Masara La Paene (Indonesia) points
Professional career
After turning professional, Calderón was frequently showcased on
On July 31, 2004, as part of the
On December 10, 2004, Calderón retained the title again, this time with a twelve-round unanimous decision over former world champion Daniel Reyes.
During this timeframe,
Light flyweight division
On August 25, 2007, Calderón defeated Hugo Cázares by split decision to become the WBO and Lineal Light Flyweight Champion.[27] Calderón entered the ring accompanied by a display of fireworks, before a crowd that featured several media personalities, including Oscar De La Hoya.[28] The size difference between both pugilists was evident since the moment that they stood next to each other prior to the beginning of the fight.[28] Early in the fight Calderón's tactic consisted of connecting fast consecutive combinations while avoiding Cázares' punches. With this strategy he managed to stun Cazares with uppercuts and straight punches.[28] During the fight the crowd displayed support for Calderón, at one point chanting "Olé" when his adversary's punches missed. In the third round Cázares displayed a more fluid offensive, but in the fifth he presented a strategy that consisted of only throwing power punches which seemed to benefit Calderón.[28] In the seventh round Ivan's offensive pace slowed which benefited Hugo who improved on the offensive aspect. In the eighth round Cázares connected several hard punches which led to Calderón to rely on holds to slow his offense, in this round Cázares scored a knockdown.[28] In the ninth he was in a defensive stance, and during the last rounds he continued this pattern and only connected solidly in the tenth round while Cázares missed several of the punches he threw.[28] At the conclusion of the fight the judges awarded scores of 116-111 for Cázares and 115-112 twice for Calderón.[28] With this victory he became the eleventh Puerto Rican boxer to win multiple world championships and unified this championship with the minimum division's one until he vacated it following the announcement that he was going to continue in the light flyweight division.[28] The Ring also recognized Calderón as their champion, dethroning Cázares.
Calderón was successful on his first light flyweight title defense when he defeated Juan Esquer in a card that took place on December 1, 2007, in New Mexico.[29] During the course of the fight Esquer was more active offensively.[30] During the first four rounds of the match Calderón used his boxing skills to avoid being hit by the punches thrown by Esquer.[31] From the fifth round onwards Calderón proceeded to exchange combinations of punches with Esquer, eventually gaining control of the fight's tempo.[32] The fight lasted twelve rounds and Iván won the fight by unanimous decision with the judges awarding scores of 116–112, 118-110 and 115–113.[33] Calderón's second defense in the light flyweight division took place on April 4, 2008, where he defeated Nelson Dieppa by unanimous decision.[34] The three judges awarded him identical scores of 120–108.[34]
Following a protest, the World Boxing Organization named Cázares the
On June 13, 2009, Calderón defended the championship against Rodel Mayol.[42] During the first stage, both pugilists fought in the middle of the ring, while he focused on attacking the body while the challenger employed jabs.[42] During the second and third rounds, Mayol pressured the offensive, managing to land a moderate number of punches. In the fourth round, Calderón began pursuing the offensive, while avoiding Mayol's punches.[42] This continued in the following chapter, but a head clash opened another laceration on his forehead, he continued the contest, but was more aggressive from this point onwards.[42] Calderón's corner tried to stop the bleeding, but the referee suspended the contest during the sixth round after these attempts proven unsuccessful. The fight was declared a technical draw, with both fighters receiving a 58-56 card while the third judge scored in 57-57.[42] An immediate rematch was scheduled three months later. Calderón began this contest by effectively avoiding Mayol's constant attack, while throwing limited punches.[43] This pattern continued during the following three rounds. In the fifth, Mayol connected his best punch of the fight, winning the round.[43] To retaliate, Calderón became more aggressive, throwing more combinations.[43] The seventh round began with exchanges from both boxers, but a head clash opens another laceration that stops the fight. The contest was declared a technical decision, with the judges offering scores of 68-65 twice for Calderón and 68-65 for Mayol.[43]
Retirement
On October 29, 2012, almost a month after his last fight, Calderón officially announced his retirement from professional boxing. The announcement was made during the inauguration of the Félix Pagán Pintor Gymnasium in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. Calderón will now work as administrator of the gymnasium.[44]
On December 7, 2023, Calderon was elected into the
