Professional career

Strickland began his professional career in 1987. He was featured in an article in The New York Times, along with journeymen Buck Smith and Verdell Smith, detailing the life of a journeyman boxer, or tomato can. It was noted that in Strickland's many fights, he sometimes used aliases, including Reggie Buse and Reggie Raglin.[1] The Wall Street Journal also referenced Strickland in a story about Kristian Laight, a British boxer who had fought 300 fighters.

Throughout his career he also fought future world champions Tavoris Cloud, Randall Bailey, Cory Spinks, Raúl Márquez and Keith Holmes.

Reggie's half-brother Jerry Strickland was also a professional boxer, who also had over 100 losses in his career. Nicolyn Armstrong, Reggie's common law wife at the time of a 2000 "HBO Real Sports" piece, has also boxed professionally. There is also another Reggie Strickland who boxes as a heavyweight that is purportedly Strickland's cousin. A nephew Jay Strickland (Jerry's son) has also boxed professionally.
