Vassiliy Levit

Vassiliy Levit (; born 24 February 1988) is a Kazakh heavyweight amateur boxer who won a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Career In the 2016 Olympic final Levit was controversially defeated by Russia's Evgeny Tishchenko via a unanimous judge's decision. The crowd reacted with shock and anger to the result, and several boxing professionals criticised the decision, with some suggesting Levit should have been awarded all three rounds. At the medal ceremony, Levit put his fingers to his lips to discourage the crowd from booing Tischenko.
