Qiu Xiaojun (裘晓君) (born June 30, 1990, Hangzhou, China) is a Chinese professional boxer and the current WBC Silver Super Bantamweight Champion.
Professional career
Qiu made his professional debut in 2010, losing two of his first nine fights to fellow contender Johnathon Baat.
Qiu claimed his first professional title, the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental super bantamweight title against Jilo Merlin in his twelfth fight. He followed this up with a victory over Lizandro De los Santos to claim the interim WBC Youth World super bantamweight title. He would later avenge his two defeats to Baat in 2014, retaining his regional title after five defenses.
In early 2015 Qiu faced veteran Sylvester Lopez and won the vacant WBC Silver super bantamweight title via 6th round technical knockout, moving him up the World Boxing Council's rankings.
