Larry Ali Donald (born January 6, 1967) is a professional heavyweight boxer. Larry "The Legend" Donald turned pro on January 3 1993, earning a technical knockout against Craig Brinson. In 1994 he beat fellow undefeated prospect Jeremy Williams, defeated Bert Cooper by TKO, and suffered his first loss by decision against Riddick Bowe.

Afterward Larry had a rather unimpressive career, considering his impressive physical abilities, until 2004 when he humiliated former linear champion Evander Holyfield, outlanding him 4 to 1 and earning a 119-109, 119-109, 118-109 unanimous decision. This defeat caused the New York State Athletic Commission to permanently suspend Evander Holyfield’s license to box in the USA.

In 2005, Donald controversially lost a title elimantor bout to Russian heavyweight Nicolay Valuev which would have earned him the right to fight John Ruiz for the WBA belt.

Current Record: 42 wins, 4 losses, 3 draws
