Ole "Lukkøye" Klemetsen (born 30 August 1971 in Stavanger, Norway) is a retired Norwegian boxer in the Light Heavyweight division. He was nicknamed "Mister Sandman" and the "Golden Viking".

Amateur

He medaled twice at international events and represented Norway at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Pro

As a pro he fought in Denmark as a light-heavyweight where he was a feared puncher with a vulnerable chin. He was European EBU Light Heavyweight champion. His professional record is 45 victories and 6 losses. He won the (lightly regarded) titles, IBC Light Heavyweight and IBA Light Heavyweight. His most notable bout was a 1998 IBF title challenge, where he was outpointed by Reggie Johnson.

Klemetsen retired after a bout which resulted in a loss against Thomas Hansvoll on 16 June 2001.

He featured in a documentary «Blod & Ære» that won an award at Grimstad Kortfilmfestival 2008.

He is currently a coach at the Martial Arts Institute in Stavanger. In 2005 he joined the party list of Demokratene in an effort to secure a Parliament seat for Jan Simonsen.^[1]
