Ruslan Vladimirovich Fayfer (Russian: Руслан Владимирович Файфер; born 10 May 1991) is a Russian professional boxer who has held the EBP cruiserweight title since 2019. As of May 2020, he is ranked as the world's fourth best active cruiserweight by the WBC, and sixth by the WBO.As an amateur he won a gold medal at the 2010 World University Boxing Championships in the light-heavyweight division.Fayfer was born on 10 May 1991 in Siberian village Ust-Barguzin. He was drawn to the sport as a small child after watching action films like Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. He dreamed of getting in the ring, but his hometown was too small to have a gym. However, at the age of nine he moved with his family to Dzhubga over 6500 miles away, where they found him a coach and he began his training.He won Russian junior championships in 2004 and 2005 as well as a gold medal in the light-heavyweight event at the 2010 World University Boxing Championships in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.Fayfer made his professional debut on 30 August 2013, defeating Ukrainian rival Roman Mirzoev via unanimous decision (UD) in Blagoveshchenskaya, Russia. Two years later, in July 2015, he took the Russian heavyweight title from prospect Vladimir Goncharov by way of majority decision (MD) in Moscow, giving the previously-undefeated fighter his first loss. Fayfer added seven more wins in 2016, capping the year off with a first-round knockout (KO) of former IBO world champion Fulgencio Zúñiga in Montpellier that improved his record as a pro to 18–0.For his next fight, he matched up against Argentine veteran Cesar David Crenz in Saint Petersburg on 25 March 2017 for the vacant IBF International cruiserweight title. Fayfer took him down with a left hook to the chin in the first round, and finished him with a liver shot in the second to win the belt. He then stopped Ugandan contender David Basajjamivule in the fourth round of his first title defense that June, also picking up the vacant WBA Asia cruiserweight title in the process. He had three consecutive non-title victories, including one in August 2017 over American Junior Wright for the #2 spot in the IBF rankings. Fayfer suffered his first career defeat on 13 October 2018, losing by unanimous decision (116–111, 115–112, 114–113) to Andrew Tabiti in the cruiserweight quarter-finals of the 2018–19 World Boxing Super Series.
