Alexander Alexandrovich Besputin (Russian: Александр Александрович Беспутин; born 26 April 1991) is a Russian professional boxer. As an amateur he won a gold medal at the 2013 European Championships and silver at the 2015 European Games.Besputin turned professional in 2015 and compiled a record of 13–0 before getting an opportunity to fight for a world title against fellow Russian boxer Radzhab Butaev. In the fight Besputin would go on to win via unanimous decision to capture the WBA (Regular) and EBP welterweight titles.In January 2020 it was reported that Besputin had failed a post-fight drug test for the bout with Butaev, testing positive for the performance-enhancing drug Ligandrol. Upon hearing the news, Butaev said, "Ahead of the fight my team insisted on VADA testing while he and his team were denying it all along, and even after I agreed to pay for both sides, including his costs, he was very reluctant. After finally enrolling he attempted to ignore the requests from VADA for two weeks for his whereabouts to be tested." Besputin elected to have a secondary 'B sample' tested, which also came back positive for the same substance in June. Following the second test result, the WBA stripped Besputin of his title and issued a six-month suspension on 4 July.
