'''Adolfo Horta''' (3 October 1957 – 28 November 2016) was a Cuban [[amateur boxer]], who won the silver medal in the Men's Featherweight division (– 57&nbsp;kg) at age 22 at the [[1980 Summer Olympics]] in [[Moscow]]. He was beaten by [[East Germany]]'s [[Rudi Fink]] on points (1-4).<ref>[http://www.adelante.cu/index.php/es/2014-04-18-18-00-06/7999-fallecio-adolfo-horta-el-hombre-del-boxeo-total Falleció Adolfo Horta, el hombre del boxeo total] {{in lang|es}}</ref> Horta won eleven consecutive [[Campeonato Nacional de Boxeo Playa Girón|national championships]] and three gold medals in the [[World Amateur Boxing Championships]] in different weight classes, which appears to have been a unique achievement, but he would never return to the Olympics, as Cuba boycotted the [[1984 Summer Olympics]].{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}
