	Athletes - Derrick Dukes

==Career== Derrick Dukes was best known for his stint in the AWA in the late 1980's as one half of the tag team the "Top Guns" with Ricky Rice. The team was originally made up off Rice and John Paul. However, Paul left the AWA and Dukes replaced his as a member of the team. Rice and Dukes feuded with Badd Company over the AWA tag team titles, but broke up shortly after appearing at SuperClash III in a mixed 6-man tag team match. Dukes then feuded with Col. DeBeers in 1989 and lost a "Loser Gets Painted Yellow" match at War in the Windy City.

Dukes would stop wrestling full time and pursue a career in boxing. His most famous bout came against former NFL All Pro Mark Gastineau. Gastineau knocked Dukes out in the first round of the fight. It was later found out that Dukes took a dive (intentionally losing the fight).
