Vyacheslav Valeriyovych Glazkov (Ukrainian: В'ячеслав Валерійович Глазков, born 15 October 1984) is a Ukrainian former professional boxer who competed from 2009 to 2016. He challenged once for the vacant IBF heavyweight title in 2016, losing to Charles Martin due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The injury eventually forced him to retire from the sport.[1]
As an amateur, he won a silver medal at the 2007 World Amateur Boxing Championships and bronze at the 2008 Summer Olympics, both in the super-heavyweight division. He was forced to pull out in the semi-finals of the 2008 Olympics due to an elbow injury.
