Dat Nguyen (born October 10, 1982) is a Vietnamese-American boxer.
Following residence in a refugee camp in the Philippines, Nguyen's family moved to the United States. In 2001, he received a full scholarship to Northern Michigan University, site of one of the three United States Olympic Training Centers. In 2002, he won a silver medal at the Golden Gloves and a bronze medal in the 2003 U.S. Championships,[1] making him the first Vietnamese-American to win a spot at the U.S. Men's Challenge.[2] In the U.S Challenge, Dat fought Mickey Bey (the eventual 2004 Olympian) but lost to him on a tie breaker.
Following his departure from the U.S Olympic Education Training Center, Dat decided to turn professional and made his debut on May 1, 2004 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
