Danell Nicholson (born November 15, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois) was an American Olympian and a boxer in the heavyweight division.

Amateur career

Nicholson was a member of the 1992 United States Olympic Team as a Heavyweight. His results were:

• Defeated Paul Lawson (Great Britain) 10-2
• Defeated Zeljko Mavrovic (Croatia) 9-6
• Lost to Félix Savón (Cuba) 13-11

Professional career

He boxed professionally from 1992 to 2003 training under Emanuel Steward.
