Rostislav Borisovich Plechko[1] (Russian: Ростислав Борисович Плечко; born 5 January, 1989) is a Russian professional boxer who currently holds the Russian and WBA Asia heavyweight titles.
Rostislav Plechko was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. A severe pelvis joint trauma was revealed at birth, and despite doctors recommending an urgent surgery, his parents decided to treat their son themselves, and at the age of six, he began walking without any restrictions.[2] After achieving a sports degree in canoeing, he became the Saint-Petersburg City Canoeing champion making it to the final of Russia State Championship. He quit canoeing at the age of fourteen, and just two years later he was enrolled to SPBGU University, and began to attend boxing classes at the university's amateur boxing club.

On June 10, 2017, Rostislav became the Russian heavyweight champion by stopping Vladimir Goncharov in the first round.[4] After defeating Goncharov, Plechko went on to win the WBA Asia heavyweight title from Ibrahim Labaran on September 7, 2017. In his most recent fight, Plechko stopped Brazilian heavyweight Irineu Beato Costa Junior in the first round.
