Vasile Usturoi (born 3 April 1997) is a Romanian-born Belgian amateur boxer who won a gold medal at the 2022 European Championships.[1] For the first time since 1951, Usturoi ensured that a European boxing title came into the hands of a Belgian. Usturoi earned an Olympic quota spot for Belgium for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France reaching the semi-finals at the 2023 European Games in Kraków, Poland.[2] At the Olympics Usturoi, hampered by having contracted COVID-19 just two weeks earlier, lost his first bout.[3]
