Leotis Martin (March 10, 1939 – November 20, 1995) was an American boxer, he was the inaugural NABF Heavyweight Champion. A fairly-skilled heavyweight and a good punch, he beat rated contenders Alvin Lewis, Thad Spencer, Karl Mildenberger, and Sonny Banks, but is best known for his knockout victory over former heavyweight champion, Sonny Liston. Unfortunately, Martin was forced to retire shortly after the Liston win due to a detached retina. The Ring Magazine listed Martin 68th on its list of the "100-Greatest-Punchers of all Time".
