Albert Shevketovich Selimov (Russian: Альберт Шевкетович Селимов; born 5 April 1986) is a Russian Olympic lightweight boxer of Lezgin descent. He is best known for being the only man to defeat Vasyl Lomachenko in the amateur ranks. Competing for Russia he won the 2007 world title, the 2008 World Cup, and two European titles, in 2006 and 2010. After failing to qualify for the 2012 Olympics he moved to Azerbaijan and placed second at the 2015 World Championships and fifth at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[1]

Career

At the 2006 European Championships he beat Stephen Smith in the semis and Shahin Imranov 28:10 in the final.

At the 2007 World Championships southpaw counterpuncher Selimov beat American southpaw Raynell Williams and won against Yakup Kılıç by walk-over to reach the finals. There he outlasted Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko, another southpaw.

In the round one bout of the featherweight division at the 2008 Beijing Olympics Vasyl Lomachenko got his revenge and outclassed Selimov 16–11, cutting short Selimov's dream for Olympic gold. Selimov finished his amateur career with 253 fights under his belt, 236 wins, 17 losses.
