Yuri Alexandrov (Russian: Ю́рий Васи́льевич Алекса́ндров; September 13, 1963 – January 2, 2013) was a Russian Soviet-era boxer who was World Amateur Flyweight Champion in 1982, and European Amateur Bantamweight Champion in 1983, as well as four-time champion of the USSR (1982, 1984, 1986,1987).[1][2] He was unable to replicate this success in the Olympics, being excluded from the 1984 Los Angeles games by the Soviet boycott, and missing the 1988 games due to injury.[3]
In 1989 Alexandrov briefly turned professional (the first Soviet boxer to do so), but did not meet with great success and retired in 1992. In 2001 he became vice-president of the Russian Professional Boxing Federation. He held this position until his death, from a heart attack, on 2 January 2013.[3]
