Elvis Mihailenko
Latvian boxer
Elvis Mihaiļenko
Elvis Mihailenko is a Latvian professional boxer, the first Latvian National boxing champion amongst professionals and first ever professional fighter from Latvia who won any of the major titles, as WBA Intercontinental champion (on 2002-10-03, in Madrid, beating on points Spaniard Alejandro Lakatos) and EBU-EU (European Union) (on 2004-06-11, in Copenhagen, beating on points Swede Giovanni Alvarez), and later defended it once more. He fought at the light-heavyweight division.
Mihaiļenko never hired a big promoter, allowing him to travel around Europe to enjoy the training camps in the best gyms. He sparred with a number of great fighters, including such World champions as Joe Calzaghe, Mikkel Kessler, Zsolt Erdei, and David Haye.
