Ali Raymi (born Ali Ibrahim Ali Al-Raimi; Arabic: علي الريمي; 7 December 1973 – 23 May 2015) was a Yemeni professional boxer and military officer. In boxing he is best known for his fight record of 26 wins and no losses, with all 26 wins by knockout; 23 in the first round. On 17 July 2014, he set a new world record by winning his first 21 professional fights by first-round knockout. He won the International Boxing Institute (IBI) minimumweight title when he beat Prince Maz. Also that year, he won the Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) World Junior Flyweight title.
Raymi lived in Mecca, Saudi Arabia prior to 1991. He was killed in action by an explosion, possibly from a Qatari airstrike on Yemeni Republican Guard positions during the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in the Yemeni Civil War, on 23 May 2015 in Sana'a. He was ranked No. 6 by the World Boxing Association (WBA) at 108 pounds and No. 8 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO) at 105 pounds at the time of his death.
