Phillip Boudreault

Phil "Crazy" Boudreault (born January 23, 1975) is a Canadian former boxer, outlaw biker and member of the Hells Angels' Ontario Nomads chapter.

Boudreault competed in the light welterweight (< 63.5 kg) division at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was stopped in the second round by Russia's Eduard Zakharov, after having defeated Rashi Ali Hadj Matumla of Tanzania in the first round. He boxed professionally between 2008 and 2009, acquiring a record of five wins and one loss. In his last fight, Boudreault suffered a torn Achilles tendon.[1]

After the Olympics, Boudreault became involved in criminal activities and he was known to associate with motorcycle gangs. He was recruited into the Hells Angels' Sudbury, Ontario chapter by the chapter president Lorne Campbell.[2] Boudreault became very close to Campbell, referring to him as "Dad".[2] In 2005, Boudreault was convicted of a brutal assault in a Sudbury bar. He narrowly avoided the dangerous offender status and a life sentence in prison after he agreed to a prison sentence of three years and accepted the lesser "long-term offender" status.[3] Boudreault was subsequently charged with violating his long-term supervision order, testing positive for marijuana and cocaine use in May 2009. He pleaded guilty in court on 28 January 2010, and was sentenced on 7 April.[3]

On 16 April 2016, Boudreault suffered a punctured lung after being shot while riding his motorcycle near Lachute, Quebec. The Sûreté du Québec believe the shooting was related to organized crime.[4]

On 19 May 2018, Boudreault married longtime girlfriend Megan Rose at a small outdoor ceremony in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
