Biography

Ghiath Tayfour (in Arabic غياث طيفور)‎ 1969 – 11 March 2012) was a Syrian boxing champion in Syria and winner of many titles including Syrian championships titles from 1984 to 1998. He was born in Aleppo, Syria, and began his training with the Police Club of Aleppo.
Tayfour was assassinated in front of the University of Aleppo. Opposition forces to the government of Bashar Assad claimed responsibility for his murder, alleging "his involvement in the government's security apparatus against the protesters during Syrian Civil War". He had reportedly received death threats earlier. At the time of his death, Tayfour was an administrator in the Department of Sports Facilities in Aleppo, Syria. He was also a member of the Syrian Boxing Federation and a boxing trainer in the Aleppo Police Club, where he first learned to box.
