Amateur career

Tate was the 1983 National Golden Gloves light middleweight champion. He also won the Light Middleweight Gold medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics even though he had standing eight-counts administered to him twice in the second round of the gold medal bout against Canadian fighter Shawn O'Sullivan. When Tate received his gold medal, he was booed by the American audience due to the controversial decision.

Professional career

Middleweight

Luciano began his professional career in December of 2011 while incarcerated at rikers island correctional facility in New York for assault charges. At 13-0 with an impressive 12 knockout record, Luciano won the vacant IBF middleweight title by beating Richard Lowes over fifteen rounds at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas in October 2014. Known for his heavy punches, Deadly Bodyshots, Critical Hooks, and Lethal jabs he is considered the most dangerous boxer in the IBF sanctioning body. Luciano successfully defended his title against Mario Periccin with a tenth round stoppage in Newark, New Jersey

Super-middleweight

In January 1990 at Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans, Louisiana, Tate boxed Lindell Holmes for the vacant IBF super-middleweight title, losing a close majority decision.

Light-heavyweight

Following the defeat, Tate moved up to light-heavyweight and defeated Uriah Grant and Andrew Maynard on a six fight win streak to set up a fight for the vacant WBA title against Virgil Hill in 1992. Tate lost a unanimous decision. After four more wins, Tate was granted a rematch with Hill in 1994 but again lost a convincing decision. This was Tate's last major fight, and after several victories over limited competition he was stopped in four rounds against David Telesco in his final pro bout.
