This writer did some research going back to the 1904 Olympics. I went on www.boxrec.com finding boxers who won Gold Medals in every division. Besides winning super and heavyweight titles those who didn’t become world champions I put their records if they turned professional next to their name.

Starting from the most recent Olympian in 2016 is Tony “LaConquete” Yoka, 5-0 (4), of FR, and Evgeny Tishchenko, 3-0 (2), of RUS. In 2012 Anthony “AJ” Joshua, 22-0 (21), of the UK, is the one Gold Medalist from the 2012 Olympics that holds three of the titles today in the WBA, WBO and IBF winning a title in 2016.

He moved back to the UK upon turning professional and won the WBC title in 1992. Ray “Mercilus” Mercer, 36-7-1, of USA also won in 1988.

In 1984 at Super Heavyweight was Tyrell Biggs winning Gold ending his career at 30-10 and Henry Tillman, 25-6 (16), was the heavyweight that year with both from the USA. The Cubans and the Russians skipped that year.
