Viktor Petrovich Agejew ( Russian Виктор Петрович Агеев ; born July 7, 1941 in Moscow ) is a former Soviet boxer . He was the European amateurs light middleweight champion in 1965 and 1967.

Career

Viktor Ageev was born in Moscow two days before Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union . He started boxing when he was 13 while attending school in Moscow. His first trainer was Wladimir Frolowitsch Konkow, called by him "Uncle Volodja". At that time he belonged to the sports organization "Trud" Moscow. Viktor Ageev achieved his first major success in 1960 when he won the welterweight title at the Soviet Junior Championship (U 20). In the same year he also took part for the first time in the national championship for seniors, but lost there in the quarterfinals against W. Archipkow and took 5th place with three other boxers.

In 1961 Viktor Agejew lost in the semi-finals of the Soviet championship against European champion Richardas Tamulis and took 3rd place in the welterweight division. Against Tamulis he also lost in the Soviet championship the following year, but this time only in the final.

In 1962 Agejew joined the Red Army, became a member of CSKA Moscow and was therefore at the 3rd championship of the armies of friendly socialist states (SKDA championships) in Kromirz, Czech Republic. He won the welterweight final there against the Bulgarian Schischman Mizew.

In 1963, Viktor Ageev managed to win the title for the first time at the Soviet national championships. He won welterweight against Richardas Tamulis (semifinals), who shortly before defended his European title, and against Wladimir Trepska (final). After this championship, Viktor Ageev started a weight class higher (light middleweight, up to 71 kg body weight) because of weight problems. There he succeeded in winning an international title when he was able to triumph at the 4th SKDA championship in Łódź against the Pole Andrzej Smolinski.

The Soviet national championships in 1964 were of great importance to Viktor Ageev, since only the winner was allowed to start at the Olympic Games in Rome . Agejew missed the qualification when he met multiple European champion Boris Lagutin in the semi-finals of the light middleweight division and was defeated by this just on points. Lagutin, on the other hand, then won the national championship final and was allowed to go to Rome, where he ultimately became Olympic champion .

1965 succeeded Viktor Agejew in the absence of the defending champion Boris Lagutin the second title win at a Soviet championship when he won in the final battle against W. Uteschew on points. In the same year Agejew also won the European Championships in Berlin (East) . He defeated the Swiss Baumann by knockout in the first round, won over Jürgen Voigtländer from the GDR on points and beat the strong Italian Mario Casati on points in the semi-finals . In the final Agejew managed a technical knockout victory in the 2nd round over the Bulgarian Angel Donchev.

After his victory in the very strong "Dutch Tulips Tornament" in Rotterdam in the spring of 1966, Viktor Agejew won his third national championship title in the light middleweight division ahead of Yuri Mawryuschkin. In addition, he triumphed at the 5th SKDA championship in Budapest in the middleweight final over Istvan Balogh from Hungary.

In 1967, Viktor Ageev became European light middleweight champion for the second time in Rome . On the way there he defeated Hermann Scheregardus from the Netherlands by knockout in the 3rd round and celebrated points wins over Tom Imrie from Scotland , Ion Covaci from Romania and Witold Stachurski from Poland . After the European Championship, he won the Soviet light middleweight championship that year as well.

In 1968 the Olympic Games in Mexico City were on the program. Viktor Ageev wanted to crown his career there with an Olympic victory. But this time too Agejew missed the qualification when he again had to admit defeat on points against Boris Lagutin in the semi-finals of the national championships. Lagutin, who celebrated a successful comeback in the ring after a three-year break, was once again the stumbling block for Agejew, whose only two defeats against him came from the qualifying competitions for the Olympic Games in 1964 and 1968.

Viktor Ageev ended his boxer career after 1968 and trained as a sports teacher at an institute for physical culture. Agejew, who was friends with the well-known Soviet singer Vladimir Vysotsky , the poet Yevgeny Evtushenko and the famous Moscow football player Eduard Strelzow , was also able to achieve great success as a coach. So he supervised u. a. the Olympic and world champions Viktor Rybakow and Vasili Solomin . In the 1990s Agejew looked after the young Alexander Powetkin . After 1990 he also held important positions in the Russian professional boxing association and in the WBA.
