Olympic Gold Medal winners who never won a World title

[Ruthless-RKO]

Must be a few..

Luke Campbell is a recently retired one.

I'm gonna add Povetkin, because he was a regular champion, Wlad was super champion.

Fire away..

[Ruthless-RKO]

Not an answer yet, but I highly doubt Yoka will win a world title..

We'll see.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Audley Harrison

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ray Mercer
Odlanier Solís
Rakhim Chakhkiev
Andrew Maynard
Egor Mekhontsev - had 13 fights, then stopped in 2017

Felix Diaz

[coghaugen11]

Ray Mercer (unless the WBO hw title truly counts).

Ray Mercer (unless the WBO hw title truly counts).

Forgot he was their second champion.

At that time, WBO weren't really considered..

[DrDuke]

Tyrell Biggs

Henry Tillman

Alexander Lebziak (formally, with a single pro-fight)

[(craig)]

Terry Spinks

[orbtastic]

Howard Davis Jr, also won the Val Barker.

Paul Gonzales at the '84 Olympics

There's a bunch of Cubans who never went pro, same with some of the old Communist countries. Lazlo Papp being an obvious one not to win a world title despite being a very good pro.

Dick McTaggart a great ama boxer who never went pro.

Terry Spinks also won gold but didn't win a world title, don't believe he challenged for one either, lsoing his British title to Howard Winstone.

Michael Carruth

(Unless you count the WAA(!) title, as I'm sure most of us do)

[Rockytony67]

Chris Finnegan and Ronnie Mazel Harris

[orbtastic]

Michael Carruth

(Unless you count the WAA(!) title, as I'm sure most of us do)

Forgot about him.

Didn’t Peter Richardson medal with a gold? I know his pro career was a disaster of cuts, forcing him to retire

[My Name Is Earl]

Chris Finnegan

[DrDuke]

Pete Rademacher.

Yeh, I wasn't counting those that never turned pro.

[Fray Bentos]

Lazlo Papp!

Not being funny but there will literally be hundreds of examples here.

[Boxerbeetle]

Not being funny but there will literally be hundreds of examples here.

Indeed. Looking at Wikipedia quickly, 6 of the last 9 super heavyweight Olympic gold medalists haven’t won a world title.

I suppose the total overall percentage would be interesting, if anyone happens to know it?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Only including those that turned pro.

Roberto Cammarelle, he never even turned pro, let alone fight for a world title.

Yeh I mentioned I wasn’t including ones that didn’t turn pro.

Plenty of Cubans.
