Nope. There's a bit more to this question than first meets the eye.

Ah. Regina Halmich then?

Does that mean we're talking about a female boxer rather than a man?

That was the name I was going to throw in the ring, but I just checked her details and couldn't find any record of an amateur career.

As far as I know, she won the European amateur title in 1994.

'Fraid not.
To reiterate: HE is a CURRENT world champion (major belt; the biggest belt, in my opinion).
He is a former European junior champion at flyweight.

damn Bennie, this is killing me, i am struggling to remember the light fly winners as they are always obscure eastern europeans...
I know Kazakov won three of the last four.... (2004, 2002,1998) 2000 was Sidorenko (not Vlad, He won fly).... i cannot remember who won before that, some bulgarian i think

Markus Beyer in 1988

That's got to be the right answer.

he was a decent amateur but never gold...
Beat Audley in the 1998 euros.. normally ended losing to the eventual winner :-)

Markus Beyer won the flyweight gold at the European juniors in Gdansk, Poland in 1988. A year later, he was boxing at featherweight in the world juniors in Puerto Rico. By 1991, he was up to welter. He settled at light-middleweight in 1992, where he boxed in the Barcelona Olympics and the Atlanta Olympics. He turned pro at middleweight, and was German super-middleweight champion by 1998...

Posted: **25 Apr 2006, 10:23**

No, but there was european junior championships.

Posted: **25 Apr 2006, 10:25**

hahaha
damn i misread the question, by "junior flyweight" i thought you meant the weight category, like "light flyweight" rather than flyweight under 20 years old

Beyer is correct

Name the man who eliminated John H. Stracey from the 1968 Olympics?

Posted: **25 Apr 2006, 10:35**

interesting how guys move up the weights...

we all know Byrd fought at middle...

Gomez and Samil Sam fought at light heavy (both fought Ottke)

Ottkes amateur record makes interesting reading actually.

fought Lebziak (won and lost)
Ramon Garbey (lost)
Ariel Hernandez (lost)
Samil Sam (lost)
JC Gomez (won)
Thomas Ulrich (lost)
Timur Ibragimov(won)
Bendall (won)
Jean paul Mendy (won)
Zsolt Erdei (won)
Kai Kurzawa (won)
