Kim Dong-kil (Korean: 김동길; Hanja: 金東吉; born May 19, 1963, in Damyang, Jeollanam-do, South Korea) is a former South Korean amateur boxer.

## Career

[edit]

Kim started garnering attention in May 1982 when he won the light welterweight silver medal at the World Amateur Boxing Championship held in Munich, West Germany. In July 1982, he won the gold medal at the Asian Amateur Boxing Championships with an RSC-2 win over future Olympic silver medalist Dhawee Umponmaha in the final.

Due to the Soviet bloc boycott of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Kim was considered one of the top gold medal favourites in the light welterweight boxing tournament of the Olympics. In the tourney, he easily advanced to the quarterfinals and went on to face Jerry Page of United States. He lost the bout in a 4–1 decision.[1]

He didn't turn pro, and retired after winning his second Asian Games gold medal in the 1986 Asian Games.

## Post career

[edit]

After retirement, Kim earned a master's degree at Korea National Sport University. He is currently a member of the Korean Teachers & Education Workers' Union, serving as a junior high school teacher in Gwangju.
