Vassiliy Levit (Russian: Васи́лий Леви́т; born 24 February 1988) is a Kazakh heavyweight amateur boxer who won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[2][3][4]

Career

[edit]

In the 2016 Olympic final Levit was controversially defeated by Russia's Evgeny Tishchenko via a unanimous judge's decision.[4][5][6] The crowd reacted with shock and anger to the result,[4][5] and several boxing professionals criticised the decision, with some suggesting Levit should have been awarded all three rounds.[7] At the medal ceremony, Levit put his fingers to his lips to discourage the crowd from booing Tischenko.[4] Afterwards, Levit said that he felt that he had won the fight, but declined to criticise the judges and said that Tischenko deserved respect.[4]

He won the bronze medal at the 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships in the Heavyweight category.

Coaching career
