Deivi ("Deivis") Julio Blanco (born April 12, 1980) is a Colombian amateur boxer best known to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics in the Heavyweight (201 lbs limit) division.
Career
At the PanAm Games 2007 the tall Julio ran into dominant Osmay Acosta early and lost 2:10. At the World Championships 2007 he suffered the ultimate humiliation when he was blitzed in a mere 15 seconds of round 1 by Elchin Alizade.
At the first Olympic qualifier he was edged out by Deontay Wilder 5:6 but when Wilder and Acosta both qualified the 26-year-old seized the opportunity at the second qualifier to defeat Alcivar Ayovi, Alexander Vellon and Hamilton Ventura to win the tournament. He lost his Olympic bout to John M'Bumba 5:11.
He won a silver medal in the heavyweight class at the 2015 Pan American Games.
