Fedor Chudinov: record, next fight and profile →
Former Azerbaijani amateur standout Ramal Amanov (7-0) continues to win and... not to impress. Tonight the liquid stylist suffered a deep cut over his left eye and thus came as a fifth-round TD winner of a one-sided contest against solid-bearded Ugandan Solomon Bogere (12-2-2, 10 KOs). Amanov, as always, moved backwards laterally, using his serpent-like jab to control B
It’s less than a week removed from “The Real Boxing”, Vladimir Hryunov-promoted last notable Russian tourney in 2014 (there will also be a small card in Ekaterinburg on Dec. 20 but of a much lesser magnitude). The show takes part on December 11 at the Dynamo Arena in Krylatskoye, Moscow, Russia. The gem of the show is a long-announced showdown for a vacant WBA interim super middleweight title between WBA #2 rated Fedor Chudinov (11-0, 9 KOs) and fellow undefeated WBA #4 Ben McCulloch (14-0, 11 KOs) of Australia, scheduled for twelve. The fight had been first scheduled to take place on Nov. 8 in Tyumen but then was twice re-scheduled, finally landing in Moscow.
A scheduled twelve-rounder between two undefeated combatants – WBA #2 super middleweight Fedor Chudinov (11-0, 9 KOs) of Russia and WBA #4 Ben McCulloch (14-0, 11 KOs) from Australia – which was pre-planned to take place on November 8 in Tyumen, Russia, is now being rescheduled.
According to Vladimir Hryunov, the younger of the Chudinov brothers – Fedor (11-0, 9 KOs) – will have a chance to win the same strap his elder sibling Dmitry possesses in the middleweight division. “Fedor Chudinov will fight next on November 8 in Tyumen”, said Hryunov to the R-Sport Russian media agency. “He will fight WBA #6 super middleweight Ben McCulloch of Australia for a vacant WBA Interim strap. The contract for this fight has already been signed and approved by the World Boxing Association. Fedor is presently in Serpukhov together with his brother Dmitry, preparing for the upcoming match-up. He is working with Russian sparring partners now, but we expect foreign boxers also to join the camp”.
In a minor shocker, WBA #1 ranked super middleweight and WBA interim-champion Stanislav Kashtanov (31-1, 17 KOs) suddenly made a decision to call it a career on September 2. According to his promoter Union Boxing Promotions, a Donetsk-based boxing team led by Yuri Ruban and Dmytro Yeliseev, Stas has been forced to retire due to the ongoing struggles with his health. Kashtanov is reportedly suffering continuous headaches during training sessions, and his vision has also worsened.
According to promoter Vladimir Hryunov, a fight between WBA #1 rated super middleweight Stanislav Kashtanov (31-1, 17 KOs) from Ukraine and WBA #2 rated Russian Fedor Chudinov (11-0, 8 KOs) for Kashtanov’s WBA Interim title can take place in Monaco in a co-promotion with Rodney Berman of the Golden Gloves in October. Both parties should come to the mutual agreement – otherwise a purse bid will be held to define the host promoter of the fight. Negotiations are presently right under way.
Fresh off his recent TKO win, in three, over previously undefeated Dominican kayo artist Andy Perez (19-1, 18 KOs), Fedor Chudinov is ready for bigger challenges. Rated #2 by the WBA in the super middleweight division the 26-year old Russian with a perfect, 11-0, with 9 KOs, record is a mandatory challenger for the WBA interim 168lb champion Stas Kashtanov (31-1, 17 KOs) of Ukraine.
The rapidly rising Chudinov brothers – the newest product of the most well-known Russian promoter Vladimir Hryunov – have set their aims at WBA world titles in the super middleweight and middleweight divisions. Dmitry (13-0-2, 8 KOs), the younger and the more established of the two, will try his luck on Aug. 9 in Sevastopol, Crimea, as a part of a huge open-air bike show. Chudinov, 27 and rated #1 by the WBA, will risk his WBA interim middleweight title against rugged French veteran Mehdi Bouadla (30-5, 11 KOs). WBA #12 Bouadla, 32, is coming off a four-fight winning streak (all being UD 6) since his only world title shot, which ended in the eighth-round TKO to WBO super middleweight champion Arthur Abraham in December 2012.
Chudinov brothers – Dmitry and Fedor – are quickly gaining strength in the middleweight and super middleweight divisions respectively. WBA #1 rated Dmitry Chudinov (13-0-2, 8 KOs), fresh off his hard-fought victory over Patrick Nielsen on June 1, is looking forward for more challenges down the road. Chudinov is scheduled to defend his WBA regular title on Aug. 9 in Sevastopol, Crimea, against an opponent to be named the next week.
Unbeaten super middleweight prospect Fedor Chudinov picked up his third consecutive knockout after tearing through local favorite Andy Perez in three knockdowns. Chudinov (11-0, 9KOs) floored the previously unbeaten Perez (19-1, 13KOs) once in every round before the contest was mercifully halted at 1:04 of round three.
