'''Manager:''' [[Al Haymon]]<br>
'''Trainer:''' [[Gary Russell Sr.]]
<br clear=all>

== Amateur Career ==
Russell, who has three boxing brothers, started boxing in 1995. In 2004, he became Junior Olympic Champion.

In 2005 at age 16, he won both the U.S. Championships and the National Golden Gloves. He became one of only two boxers to win both the U.S. Championships and the National Golden Gloves before his 17th birthday. In October 2005, the small southpaw boxer-puncher had an amateur record of 163-10.

At the 2005 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Mianyang, the bantamweight (119 lbs.) beat Bulgarian [[Detelin Dalakliev]], 25-21, in the first round; dec. Canadian [[Tyson Cave]], 22-9, in the second round; dec. Jordanian [[Al Gharaghir Ibrahim]], 34-13, in the quarterfinals before losing to German [[Rustamhodza Rahimov]], 17-28, in the semifinals and winning the bronze medal at age 17 (joining [[Rau'shee Warren]]). He was named the 2005 USA Boxing Athlete of the Year.

He repeated his national title win in 2006, but at the U.S. Championships in 2007, he was injured. He has broken his hands in the past.

At the 2007 U.S. Olympic Trials, he sensationally lost to [[Roberto Marroquin]] in his first fight, 17-18, his first defeat to a countryman in eight years, but beat him twice later and bested national champion Rios to qualify. Russell became only the fourth boxer in U.S. team history to lose in the opening round and rebound to win his weight class, the others were [[Evander Holyfield]], [[Roy Jones Jr.]], and [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]]

At the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Chicago, he beat [[Ali Hallab]] to qualify for the Olympics but was beaten soundly by Russia's eventual winner [[Sergey Vodopyanov]], 6-16, and didn't medal. Russell's quest for an Olympic medal in 2008 ended prematurely as he missed the Olympic weigh-in hours after losing consciousness in his Olympic Village dorm room.
