There is such an expression: “Fear your desires - they come true!” This phrase is applicable to the famous Russian fighter named Chudinov Fedor. His burning desire to win and become a champion became a reality. Therefore, it makes sense to look at this boxer to all martial arts fans.
Irkutsk hero
Chudinov Fedor was born in the Irkutsk region (the city of Bratsk) on September 15, 1987. He started boxing at the age of twelve. His first coach was Alexey Galeev. The amateur career of the fighter was very successful: more than 170 victories. In 2008, the young boxer won the bronze of the national championship of Russia. Also, a talented athlete won the world championship among amateurs whose age did not exceed 19 years.
Start in Pros
Fedor began Chudinov's professional career together with his older brother Dmitry in 2009. From the very first days, Fedor begins to train and perform at the highest level in the United States. The brothers were invited there by Eduard Gumashyan. There he spent five fights. He managed to win all of them. Fedor’s debut was especially striking, in which he knocked out an opponent in the first seconds of the battle. However, already in 2012, the brothers returned to their homeland. The famous sports figure Vladimir Khryunov becomes his promoter in Russia.
Reaching the top
Vivid performances of the fighter did not go unnoticed. May 9, 2014 Chudinov Fedor for the first time in his career entered a very important fight against the champion Felix Sturm. According to the Russian boxer, at the time he entered the ring, German fans shouted insults at him. For Fedor, this turned out to be an extremely unpleasant surprise, but at the same time a very strong motivation. As Chudinov himself said, it angered him and gave him strength.
The fight took place in Germany. If the first half of the battle for the German was even more or less rosy, although he did not win, then after the equator he completely lost the thread of the fight. Chudinov, on the contrary, was gaining momentum and more and more striking at his opponent. As a result, a completely logical victory of the Russian (although for some reason it is completely incomprehensible to anyone by a separate decision of the judges) and winning him the WBA world champion title. It is noteworthy that this boxing organization unexpectedly put the title on the line after being stripped of the title of British champion Carl Froch. Apparently, the head of the organization was planning that the German boxer would win , but fate was favorable to the Russian.
First belt defense
Fedor Chudinov, whose photo after his victory over Sturm was in almost every sports publication, September 26, 2015 held his first fight in the status of champion. The official contender for his title was a promising Englishman, Frank Boglioni.
Already the first seconds of the fight showed the total advantage of the Russians in firepower over the representative of Misty Albion. However, on the floor was ... Fedor! And all because Frank allegedly did not hear the gong and made a hook, after which the young champion was on canvas. For such a violation of the rules, two points were immediately removed from the Englishman.
After that, the Russian did not leave a single chance to his assertive rival and constantly increased his advantage. After the final gong, Fedor's convincing victory on points was recorded. The champion himself later said that he was pleased with the fight, although he plans to train with even greater zeal.
Waiting for a Rematch
Biography of Fyodor Chudinov will be incomplete, if not to mention that he will have a second duel with Felix Sturm. The fight was originally planned for December 5, 2015, but due to the fact that Fedora is being trained by the legendary American Roy Jones Jr., who is going to hold his last fight on December 12, the champion fight had to be postponed to February 2016.
In conclusion, we note that for many people, the favorite sport is boxing. Fights of Fyodor Chudinov in this martial arts are bright moments that I want to review again and again. Despite his comparatively small age by boxing standards, the Russian has already taken place as a great master of his craft, who worthily represents the country in the world boxing arena. We just have to wait from Fedor for new interesting and victorious battles for him and wish him good luck.
