Răzvan Andrei Cojanu (born 10 March 1987) is a Romanian professional boxer. As an amateur he represented Romania at the 2009 Jeux de la Francophonie, winning a gold medal in the super-heavyweight division; he also represented Romania at the European Union Championships, winning bronze. As of April 2017, Cojanu is ranked as the world's 78th best heavyweight by BoxRec and 14th by the WBO, and currently boasts a 50% knockout-to-win ratio.

Professional career

Speculation grew that Cojanu would be the replacement opponent for Joseph Parker's first world title defence after the controversial withdrawal of Hughie Fury. Cojanu was involved in Parker's training camp in Las Vegas for the aborted fight with Fury.[1] WBC champion Deontay Wilder also called out Parker for a unification bout while Fury's cousin Tyson, the troubled former champion, said he'd be willing to jump in the ring.[2]
