Bronco McKart 

Bronco Banyon McKart was born March 20, 1971 in Monroe, MI.  He turned professional boxer in 1992.  He fought in the super welterweight division (154 lbs) and also in the middleweight (160 lbs) division.  In 1996 he captured the World Boxing Organization Light Middleweight title by beating Santos Cardona by TKO, but lost the title in his first defense against Winky Ronald Wright in hometown Monroe on May 17, 1996. 

To June, 2007 he had won 50 fights with 31 ko's; he lost 7 bouts, for a total of 57 fights. Many of his personal items were on display at the museum for 5 years and brought delight to youth from Monroe who recognized his name and marveled at the large championship belts in his collection.

As of 2011, he continues to meet the challenges of the boxing world. His select items are now placed among other notable Monroe-ites such as the Monroe Auto Equipment (MAECO) founding families and Kaye Lani Rafko Wilson, Monroe's Miss America from 1988. These displays are located in the elevator lobby located on the museum's main floor.
