Alex Arthur, Born 26 June 1978 in Dumbiedykes (Edinburgh) and raised in Drummond Street on the South Side of the city, is a Scottish former professional boxer and political candidate for the Alba Party.
Competing from 2000 to 2012, he held the WBO and WBO interim super featherweight titles in 2007. At regional level, he held the British super featherweight title twice between 2002 and 2006, and the Commonwealth and EBU European super featherweight title from 2005 to 2006.
He ran as a regional candidate in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election as a member of the Alba Party, but quickly sparked controversy due to his online comments mocking travellers, an AIDS survivor, and spreading COVID-19 misinformation.
