Baxter Humby (born October 26, 1972) is a former Canadian kickboxer and stuntman known as "The One Armed Bandit" due to his missing right hand, which was amputated at birth just below his elbow after becoming entangled with the umbilical cord.[1] In 2012, he was nominated for an ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete with a Disability.[2]
Humby was born on October 26, 1972, in Gillam, Manitoba, Canada.[3] Humby's father (who died when he was eight), was a boxer in the Canadian army, and taught him how to box at age four. He began training in Tae Kwan Do at the age of 17.[4]
