Saul Farah (born Saul Becerra Gil on January 12, 1983 in Santa Ana del Yacuma, Bolivia) is a Bolivian professional boxer. He is the Bolivian national Heavyweight boxing champion, having won the title by knocking out 1-0 Romualdo Rivera in the first round on March 13, 2010.He has defended the national title 15 times successfully. His nickname is "El Fenix Asesino" ("The Assassin Phoenix").Farah was also Bolivian national Cruiserweight champion, title that he obtained September 2, 2008 with a third round knockout of local, 3 win 9 losses journeyman Fernando Marcelo Vega at San Julian, Santa Cruz De La Sierra, the interim World Boxing Council Latino Heavyweight champion by beating 23-13-2 Esteban Hillman Tababary by twelve round unanimous decision on September 9, 2015, and the interim South American Heavyweight champion, championship which he won by defeating 13 win, 6 defeats and 2 ties (draws) prospect Guido Santana in the third round of their December 21, 2013 fight at Farah's hometown of Santa Ana del Yacuma. Farah is also the Santa Ana del Yacuma city, Beni Department and Santa Cruz De La Sierra Department Heavyweight champion, and he has once fought for world Heavyweight champion honors, albeit for an organization without much international recognition, the World Boxing Union. He lost that bout to Brazilian boxer Marcelo Ferreira dos Santos by third round knockout on December 15, 2014, at Bahia, Brazil. Farah has also fought for World Boxing Association, World Boxing Organization and International Boxing Federation regional titles without success.After a bout with Cesar Mamani, set for May 10, 2019,(a second round technical knockout win) Farah traveled to the Philippines, where he fought American Ronald Johnson, 15-1 with 6 knockout wins, on June 15, 2019, in what would have been a bout for the Global Boxing Organization's Heavyweight world title, a title without much recognition by the general boxing world and fans alike. The GBO ultimately withdrew recognition of the fight as being for their championship, but Farrah and Johnson still boxed each other, with the American knocking the Bolivian down in the first round and prevailing by 12 rounds unanimous decision. Eventually, Farrah got his 70th career win five weeks later, when he defeated 1 win, 2 losses Luis Gregorio Castedo Yapovenda by second round knockout on July 20 of that year, back home in Santa Ana del Yacuma, Bolivia.On November 2, 2019, Farah traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo to challenge Sadiki "The Buffalo" Maroy (15-2-1) for the vacant UBO Intercontinental Heavyweight title. After a spirited start, Maroy forced a TKO-7 stoppage of Farah earning the UBO title On December 21, 2019, Farrah fought his 99th professional boxing match, being stopped in the first round by Christian Hammer in Germany.Farah was scheduled to defend his Bolivian title in both March & April of 2020; however, the COVID-19 pandemic forced postponements of both dates. Then, on October 30th of 2020, Farah defended his title versus Marco Kenny aka La Mole Viscarra over 12 rounds live on Pay Per View (PPV) at the Santa Rosita Coliseum in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Farah controlled the pace for the majority of the bout but was unlucky in losing a 12 round decision - and relinquishing this title to Kenny
