Nikolai Stepulov, Russian-Estonian boxer (d. 1968)
Nikolai Stepulov (20 March 1913 – 2 January 1968) was an Estonian lightweight boxer, military officer and criminal.

Ethnically Russian, at the onset of World War II Stepulov joined the Soviet militia and ordered to shoot peaceful members of the Estonian Defense League; this act was condemned by both sides and resulted in Stepulov serving a jail sentence in the Soviet Union.
