Fedor Chudinov: record, next fight and profile →
OBERHAUSEN, Germany- Felix Sturm of Germany defeated the previously unbeaten Fedor Chudinov of Russia by majority decision in their rematch to reclaim his WBA super middleweight title on Saturday.
Oberhausen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany - Ibrahim Guemues (7-0, 7KOs) continued his streak of knockouts by blasting out Yesilat Berkta (5-26) in a middleweight contest. For some odd reason this is the third time in a row the two boxers have faced each other. He knocked out Berkta in two rounds on October 3rd of last year in a light heavyweight contest and then stopped him again, in five rounds, a few weeks later on October 31st for the vacant German International middleweight title.
Fedor Chudinov is not a name that trips as readily off the tongue as those Beasts from the East, Gennady Golovkin and Sergey Kovalev, but the-28-year-old Russian is a world champion with ambition in his heart and fire in his fists. Ask Britain’s Frank Buglioni, whom he defeated in the first defence of his WBA Super-Middleweight title belt on my show at Wembley last September.
by Cliff Rold - He has been an exemplar of maximizing the (really, really) split title era. He’s also been pretty fun to follow. In another time, Germany's Felix Sturm might have ridden his controversial 2004 loss to Oscar De La Hoya into a showdown with Bernard Hopkins. He probably wouldn’t have won but that would have been his best course...
Fedor Chudinov and Felix Sturm both successfully made weight ahead of their super middleweight title fight rematch Saturday evening at Koenig Pilsner Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. Chudinov came in right at the 168 lb. division limit, while Sturm weighed in at a trim and ready 167 lbs.
Swindon’s red-hot super-middleweight star Jamie Cox (20-0, 12KOs) is gunning for the winner of Fedor Chudinov vs. Felix Sturm. The supremely confident WBO European Champion will be keeping a close eye on Saturday’s world title showdown, exclusively live on BoxNation, and says he’d have no problems disposing of either of them.
WBA super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov (14-0, 10KOs) is not a young fighter at 28-years-old, but he is now a world champion who is gaining experience. Last May Chudinov pulled off one of the big surprises of 2015 when he won a twelve round split decision over veteran Felix Sturm to capture the vacant WBA title. Sturm, based on sheer experience, was the big favorite to win the fight.
By Cliff Rold - It's funny how fast a division can change. Red-hot can become lukewarm or ice cold in just a few fights and a few moves on the scale. Instant reloads are a rarity. We might be seeing one at 168 lbs.
BoxNation continually televises the best live International action from around the world and two big world title fights have just been added to the packed schedule with Fedor Chudinov’s rematch against Felix Sturm and Ruslan Chagaev’s title defence against Lucas Browne.
Vincent Feigenbutz (21-1, 19 KOs) can write boxing history on Saturday night by becoming Germany’s youngest ever World Champion with the vacant WBA World Super Middleweight title now on the line in his rematch with Giovanni De Carolis (23-6, 11 KOs) at the Baden-Arena in Offenburg, Germany. Feigenbutz and De Carolis were originally scheduled to contest the WBA’s interim World title, but yesterday, the governing body announced that their fight will be for the ‘regular’ World title. Their ruling comes following Andre Ward’s move up to light heavyweight and the subsequent promotion of World Champion Fedor Chudinov to Super Champion.
