Torsten May (born October 9, 1969 in Glauchau, Saxony) was a German boxer, who won the Light Heavyweight Gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
May began his professional career the following year and won his first 15 bouts in the cruiserweight division, setting up a fight for the vacant IBF Cruiserweight Title against Adolpho Washington. Washington won by a narrow unanimous decision, a loss which May avenged in 1999 via a 9th round TKO after Washington lost his title. May never again fought for a title, and lost via TKO in the 8th round to Alexander Gurov in 2001, ending May's career.
