Mourad Aliev (born 31 July 1995)[4] is a French professional boxer. As an amateur he won a silver medal at the 2019 European Games. While representing France at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Aliev was disqualified from his quarterfinal bout.[5][6]

Early life[edit]

Born in Moscow, Russia, and of Azerbaijani descent,[7] Aliev moved to France at the age of six as a political refugee and became a naturalised French citizen at the age of 22.[8]

Amateur career[edit]

At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Aliev was disqualified in his bout against Frazer Clarke due to a head-butt. As soon as the decision was announced in the ring, Aliev had denounced an injustice.[9] Later, the supervisor certified an error in refereeing and said that there is no error on the part of Aliev, but the decision can not be modified.[9][10][11][12] Aliev staged a sit-in protest for an hour,[13][6] after punching the ringside camera operator.[14] Both actual and former French National Olympic and Sports Committee presidents supported Aliev against what they consider being an injustice.[10]

Professional career[edit]

Aliev made his professional debut on 20 November 2021, scoring a four-round unanimous decision (UD) victory against German Skobenko at the Universum Gym in Hamburg, Germany.[15]
