Professional career

Little turned professional in 1983 and while he won his first four bouts, he soon started compiling losses. Even with a mediocre record, he fought for the World Boxing Organization light middleweight title against John David Jackson in 1989. He lost by a technical knockout. He retired for a short time after that fight.

In 1994 he scored an upset victory over World Boxing Association super middleweight champion Michael Nunn by split decision. He lost the belt in his first defense to Frankie Liles, losing a decision. Although he later fought James Toney and Arthur Williams, he never fought for another major title.

Besides being a professional boxer, Little also sold used cars in Reading.

Little retired in 1998 and died from colon cancer in 2000 [ [http://www.paydayblews.com/node/2583 Raheem delivers guarantee in game that offers few... | Payday Blog News ] ] .
