Wilford Scypion (born July 18, 1958) was a professional boxer. He now lives in Port Arthur, Texas with his father and sister. Wilford is well known around town. Even though Wilford is disabled, due to his boxing experiences, he manages to live a relatively normal life and attends church with his family.

In February 1983, Scypion beat Frank Fletcher by a twelve round decision to take the USBA's regional Middleweight title. This victory guaranteed him a world championship try, against Marvin Hagler. The two competitors met on May 27, in a fight televised by HBO Boxing, which was considered by many to show only the best fights available at the time. Scypion was knocked out in four rounds in his only world title try, which was held in Providence, Rhode Island.
