Jevgenijs Aleksejevs (born 6 July 1993) is a Latvian professional boxer and former kickboxer. He fights in the middleweight division and is undefeated after 17 fights.
He began his combat career in kickboxing,[1] where he won several titles. Aleksejevs was the European Kickboxing Champion in 2008 and the Baltic K-1 Champion 2010,[2] but a serious leg fracture forced him to change to boxing.
After overcoming his leg fracture,[3] Aleksejevs began training to become a professional boxer and made his debut in 2013, beating compatriot Mareks Kovalevskis by knockout in the first round.[4]
He has also beaten Latvian Valērijs Mikalauskas,[5] Frenchman Maurice Possiti,[6] Argentinian Nicolas "Mazazo" Veron, and experienced Estonian fighter Pavel Semjonov.[7]
Aleksejevs is known for his counterpunching ability and has been recognized for his fast hands and technical skills. He often dominates his opponents in mid-to-later rounds and has been tipped as one of the fastest rising stars in European boxing.[8]
