As an amateur, Deandre was a 5-time St. Louis Golden Gloves Champion and he won several state, regional, and national championships.

[edit]

In June 2008, Deandre faced and defeated the IBF #1 ranked contender Sechew Powell via 7th-round TKO, which set the stage for a showdown with hometown rival and former 2-division champion Cory Spinks. With only 20 professional fights under his belt, Deandre fought Spinks at the Scottrade Center Promoted By Rumble Time Promotions, Dibella Ent and Don King for the IBF light middleweight title and showed that he can compete with the world's best, losing a close and somewhat disputed decision, as one of the judges scored the bout in favor of Latimore. Prior to this fight Latimore Signed a second Co Promotion deal with Rumble Time Promotions adding Dibella Ent. He was managed by Jerry Gulliano. After losing the fight to Spinks, he was briefly managed and trained by local trainer/manager Jose Ponce. Latimore worked with Ponce/Seat Pound for Pound for two fights, winning one and losing the IBF eliminator against Sechew Powell. After the loss due to financial and things "not clicking" [according to whom?] with Jose, Latimore terminated manager and training contract with Jose/Sweat Pound For Pound.
