Professional career
This Philadelphia fighter turned pro on October 6, 1995, with a first round TKO of Juan Carlos Antonio. His first nine wins were via knockout as well as fourteen of his first fifteen.
In 2001, Nobles won a Unanimous 10 round decision against heavyweight Sedreck Fields. Two fights after that he took an eight round unanimous decision from Ron Guerrero in front of his hometown.
From there Nobles' biggest fight was against former World Heavyweight Champion Bruce Seldon. The fight was stopped in the ninth round with Gerald scoring a TKO victory over the former world champ after Seldon was thumbed in the eye. Seldon was winning the fight after 8 rounds on 2 of the scorecards.
Nobles' only loss occurred on November 20, 2004 to current World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev. Nobles was disqualified in the fourth round for repeated low blows on Valuev. Nobles' team claims that Valuev wore his trunks high and that the referee disqualified Nobles unfairly.
Nobles has one fight since then and won a first round TKO (2:58) over Wallace McDaniel.
