The team behind former super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov are planning to have his gloves examined from this past Saturday's twelve round majority decision loss to Felix Sturm in Germany.

As previously reported, Chudinov's promoter Umar Kremlev of Patriot has already filed a protest with the WBA to dispute the decision loss.

Chundinov's trainer Artur Piduriev alleges that his boxer was given gloves that failed to meet professional standards. He says the paint was shedding off the gloves while Sturm's gloves had no defects at the end of the fight.

"During the fight Fedor gloves had strongly shed paint and covered his opponent in red, while Sturm gloves were without defects," says the statement released by Team Chudinov.

The believe under the right set of gloves Chudinov would have probably knocked Sturm out inside the distance. Chudinov outthrew and outlanded Sturm in eleven out of twelve rounds.

They want the gloves to go through an expert analysis for "product quality assurance."

The 28-year-old Chudinov now has a record of 14 wins (10 by KO) and one loss. While the record of the 37-year-old Sturm is now elevated to 40 wins (18 by KO), 5 losses, 3 draws. The German veteran's four previous world titles - under the World Boxing Organization (WBO), the WBA and the International Boxing Federation (IBF), were captured at the middleweight limit of 160-pounds. Sturm moved up to 168-pounds last year.
