René Monse (September 28, 1968 in Potsdam – June 8, 2017) was a German heavyweight boxer best known for having won a bronze medal at the world championships in 1995.
Monse died in 2017 after what his former promoter described as a lengthy illness.
In 1995, the southpaw won third place at the World Championships in Berlin after losing to Vitali Klitschko. He also placed third in the 1996 European Championships. At the Olympics, he lost to Russian star Alexei Lezin.
As a professional, he had only a few highlights. He lost by points against compatriot Luan Krasniqi for the vacant European title in 2002 even though he scored a knockdown. He was stopped in the rematch in 2004 and retired with a record of 14-2 with 7 knockouts.
