Travis has been Boxing for over 33 Years.
Travis Hartman was born in St. Joseph, Missouri. He was raised in Osborn, Missouri where he graduated high school at the age of 17-years-old. Hartman graduated with approximately 15 total people in his graduating class from the tiny town of Osborn which had a population of 400 people.
Hartman had a stellar amateur boxing career, which started at the age of six-years old. He amassed a record of 156 wins and only 13 losses as a licensed USA Boxing competitor to go along with a bronze medal in the Junior Olympics and three national titles all before he was 15-years old. After qualifying for his first ever national Silver Gloves Hartman ended up losing in the finals to Rodrigo Mosquera of California. Destined to never feel the pain of training all year and coming up one fight short of a championship, Hartman trained his hardest.
The hard work paid off because Hartman ended up winning back-to-back national Silver Gloves Championships beating the likes of Nonito Donaire and was destined for a third Silver Gloves title but lost a questionable decision in the semi-finals to a competitor he had already beaten once. Hartman then went on to win the National P.A.L. (Police Athletic League) beating Anthony Dirrell in the finals.
After graduating from Osborn High School, Travis earned a full-ride Kansas City Golden Gloves boxing scholarship and went on to win three Kansas City Golden Gloves titles. Hartman, now 20-years-old dreamed of fighting for the USA in the Olympics in Athens Greece in 2004. The odds were not in favor of Hartman this time as his family home burned to the ground in early January of 2004, three weeks before he was to compete in the Western Olympic Trials in Bakersfield, California. He still went on to compete and made it to the quarterfinals of the Olympic Trials before losing to Cleotis Pendarvis.
After making the trip home from California, Travis and his father decided to turn pro at the age of 20-years-old. They signed a three-year deal with Rob Calloway’s All-American Promotions. Hartman made his pro debut in March of 2004 winning by 3rd round TKO. He would go on to go undefeated in six pro fights with 4 knockouts his first year as a pro.
Travis suffered his first loss as a pro to the son of a legend, Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. in a main event in Hidalgo, Texas in April of 2005 in front of a sold out pro Mexican crowd. Hartman had suffered an illness days leading up to the fight, but still put on a valiant effort.

Some of the opponents Travis faced as a professional boxer were *Terence Crawford, (Hartman lost the fight by a decision on points), *Keith Thurman, *Jessie Vargas, *Julio Caesar Chavez Jr., Jorge Paez Jr., Danny O’Connor, Willie Nelson, Chordale Booker, Kent Cruz and Mason Menard. *world champions
During his career he has fought in France, Denmark, Germany, Canada, and trained in Brisbane, Australia as a sparring partner for Jarrod Fletcher who was the no. 2 middle-weight in the world at the time.
