Career

At the 2009 World Amateur Boxing Championships, southpaw Zamkovoy upset two-time world champion Serik Sapiyev in the semifinal but was surprised himself in the final by German Jack Culcay-Keth (2009 results).

At the 2012 Summer Olympics (Results) he won his first three fights, beating China's Maimaitituersun Qiong, Ireland's Adam Nolan and America's Errol Spence Jr. before losing his semifinal to Kazakhstan's Serik Säpïev, who went on to win the gold medal.[1]

He also competed at the 2016 Olympic Games, but lost his first fight.

Zamkovoy again qualified for the 2020 Olympics where he won his second bronze, now as a 34 year old.[2] [3]
