Steffen Tangstad (22 June 1959 – 26 June 2024) was a Norwegian professional boxer and two-time European Heavyweight Champion.[1]

Tangstad fought Michael Spinks for the IBF Heavyweight title on 6 September 1986, losing as a result of a fourth-round knockout.[2] That was Tangstad's final bout. He retired with a career record of 24 wins (14 by knockout), 2 losses and 2 draws.

After retiring from the boxing ring, Tangstad began a career in Norwegian television[3] and was the CEO of the now defunct "Modern Sports & Events" (MSE),[4] which was licensed to broadcast UFC pay-per-view events in Scandinavia.[5]

In 2006, he participated in the second season of Skal vi danse?.

Tangstad died after a long illness on 26 June 2024, at the age of 65.[6][7] He had had his leg amputated three years before.[8] He had been struggling with peripheral neuropathy, and had lost the use of his hands, arms and legs.[9]
