Aleksandar Drenovak
Aleksandar Drenovak (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Дреновак; born 30 December 1983 in Kraljevo) is a Serbian middleweight boxer.
He lives in the Serbian spa town of Vrnjačka Banja, in the Raška District of southwestern Serbia. He is trained by his father, a former boxer.

At the 2012 Olympics he beat Marlo Delgado from Ecuador, then lost 11:20 to Adem Kılıççı, eventually placing 13th in the event rankings.[1]
In June 2015, Drenovak competed for Serbia at the first European Games in Baku. In March 2016 he was named Serbian National Boxing Champion: 75 kg middleweight.
