Antoine "Tony" Porcel (17 December 1937 – 22 March 2014) was a French boxer. He competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics, where he was disqualified in his third bout against Sergei Sivko. In 1963 he turned professional and retired in 1973 with a record of 26 wins (11 by knockout), 25 losses and 10 draws. He was the French bantamweight champion in 1966–67 and 1970–71, and lost a 1966 match for the European flyweight title to René Libeer.[1] He later became a boxing trainer, and died from Alzheimer's disease at the age 76.[2]
