Gary Antuanne Russell (born June 14, 1996) is an American professional boxer. As an amateur, he represented the United States in the light welterweight division at the 2016 Summer Olympics, but was controversially eliminated in the third bout.[2] He is the younger brother of WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr.[3]
