Misael Uziel Rodríguez Olivas[a] (born 7 April 1994) is a Mexican professional boxer. He won a bronze medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Career

Rodríguez competed in the World Series of Boxing between 2014 and 2016. He wasn't successful, losing 9 of 12 bouts and being TKO'd by Arlen López in a May 2016 fight.[2] Rodríguez won a bronze medal at the 2015 Pan American Games, beating Anthony Campbell before losing to Jorge Vivas in the semi-finals.

He competed in the men's middleweight event at the 2016 Summer Olympics. Rodríguez won three bouts before losing to silver medalist Bektemir Melikuziev in the semi-finals, winning a bronze medal.[3]

In 2017, he turned professional, signing with Richard Schaefer. Rodríguez's manager is former Olympian and world champion Abner Mares.[4]

Rodríguez won his 16th successive fight since turning professional when his opponent, fellow unbeaten boxer Austin Deanda, retired on the advice of the ringside doctor at the end of the fourth of their scheduled 10-round contest at Meta Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, USA, on 23 January 2026.[5][6]

Fighting at the Meta Apex again, he lost his unbeaten professional record when he suffered a unanimous decision defeat against Andreas Katzourakis on 10 May 2026.[7][8]
