Kabary Salem (Egyptian Arabic : كبارى سالم; born 12 February 1968) is an Egyptian former professional boxer who competed from 1997 to 2005 and challenged for the WBO super-middleweight title in 2004.

In December 2020, he was arrested in Egypt and extradited to the United States for the murder of his daughter in Staten Island, New York, in October 2019. ^[1]

Amateur career

Salem won a gold medal in the light-middleweight division at the 1991 All-Africa Games. ^[2] He competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics and the 1996 Summer Olympics. ^[3] He lost in the first round of the light middleweight tournament at the 1992 Olympics to Leonidas Maleckis ^[4] and in the first round of the middleweight tournament at the 1996 Olympics to Ariel Hernández, en route to the latter's successful defense of his gold medal. ^[5]

Professional career

Salem is regarded as one of the dirtiest fighters of all time for his persistent headbutts, particularly in his bouts against Randie Carver (resulting in Carver's death), Mario Veit and Joe Calzaghe. ^[6]
