Alex Miroshnichenko
Alex Miroshnichenko
Hometown - Kostnai, Kazakhstan
21(15)-1-0
Microshnichenko held the Russian Heavyweight Title and was a perfect 21-0-0 before being TKO'd by Oleg Maskaev in his professional debut. Although his pro career was forgettable, Alex had a distinguished amateur career. Miroshnichenko won a bronze medal in Seoul, medaled in the European Championships and the World Cup (twice each), and was a three-time Soviet champion.
He died in 2003, falling nine flights of stairs in his hometown. Rumors initially surfaced that his death was related to his testimony in the trial of a local judge but police later ruled his death accidental.
A nickle and a cup-o-joe to anyone that can find a picture of Miroshnichenko
Cheers
