Michael Wayne Quarry (March 4, 1951 – June 11, 2006) was an American light heavyweight boxer. He had a record of 63–13–6 including 17 knockouts during his career. He defeated such fighters as Jimmy Dupree.
Mike Quarry was born in Bakersfield, California. He began boxing at the age of eight and obtained his license to fight as an amateur at 17. He tried to emulate his elder brother Jerry Quarry, a renowned heavyweight fighter . At one time Michael said, "They might as well put on my epitaph: Here lies Jerry Quarry's little brother." After a win over title challenger Dupree, he had his one chance at a title shot in 1972, when he went up against Bob Foster for the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Association light heavyweight crowns. Quarry lost on a fourth-round knockout.
Quarry died at age 55 in La Habra, California. His death was attributed to pugilistic dementia, which had also caused his brother Jerry's death. His grave is in Shafter, California, in Shafter Cemetery.
