GUYANESE light heavyweight Ray Alberts was TKOed in the eighth round by Etienne Obertan on January 29, 1993. The fight took place in Obertan’s home town of Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe, and was one of four bouts Alberts had that year. He lost three and won the other.

Alberts turned pro in March 1986 and on his debut TKOed Simeon Thomas in the third round. His nine-year career would see him once challenging for a world title.
On December 21, 1993 he clashed with Gary Delaney in London, England, for the World Boxing Board light heavyweight title.
Delaney needed only three rounds to force referee Roy Francis to halt the contest and award him a win via TKO.
Alberts ended his career in May of 1995 with an unsuccessful bid for the World Boxing Association Fedilatin title. His record comprises 19 victories (11KOs) and 10 defeats.
