Nurmagomed Magomedsandovich Shanavazov (Russian: Нурмагомед Магомедсандович Шанавазов) (born February 19, 1965), is a Soviet Dagestani former boxer. He is best known for handling Riddick Bowe his first defeat at an international competition.[1] An ethnic Dargin hailing from Dagestan, Shanavazov won the Light Heavyweight Silver medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics for the Soviet Union. He was training at the Dynamo sports society in Makhachkala.

Amateur career

At the Soviet-Cuban joint pre-Olympic training camp in Suhumi, Georgian SSR, set for the 1988 Olympics, he sparred with Félix Savón, constantly staggering him with devastating bodyshot flurries at close range. They never met again though as Shanavazov was in the lighter weight class.

Olympic Results

Defeated Patrick Lihanda (Uganda) by majority decision, 4–1
Defeated Markus Bott (West Germany) by majority decision, 4–1
Defeated Andrea Magi (Italy) by majority decision, 4–1
Defeated Damir Škaro (Yugoslavia) by walkover
Lost to Andrew Maynard (United States) by unanimous decision, 0–5

Professional career

Because of poor management and poor performance Shanavazov had no success as a professional. He turned pro in 1990 and also retired that same year, finishing with a record of three fights, zero wins.

gollark: Which is impractical.

gollark: Like what esolangs will be developed and when.

gollark: The trouble is that a good future message predictor which is generating basically anything but boring things you can expect will always be around needs to also know details of the future.

gollark: No, that's no fun.

gollark: Unless I make the future message predictor somehow far too smart and it begins to guess at details of the future accurately.
