Albert "Alberto" Dávila (born August 10, 1954) is an American boxer who was the World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight champion of the world.
His career spanned the 1970s and 1980s in the bantamweight division, and his reign as world champion occurred in parts of 1983 and 1984.
Dávila lost world bantamweight championships matches three times, and temporarily left the sport.
After his return, he was given a fourth title fight, versus Kiko Bejines, in 1983.
Trailing after 11 rounds, Dávila scored a knockout of Bejines to win the title, but Bejines died shortly afterward due to injuries suffered during the fight.
Following one successful title defense, Dávila suffered back injuries, leading the WBC to strip him of his title.
He later fought in two more world championship fights, losing both.
Dávila is a member of the World Boxing Hall of Fame.
