He crowned his career with a win at the United States amateur (AAU) Super Heavyweight championships in 2000. He beat 1999 national champion Calvin Brock in the Olympic qualification, too, but lost the rematch 5:6 again having to settle for alternate. He also beat Dominic Guinn in the amateurs.

In 2007 he sensationally KOd undefeated prospect Travis Walker in just 15 seconds.[1] He lost the rematch by KO2.
As of February 2008 Wilson's professional record was 12-2 with 8 knockouts.
