Sibur Arena, St. Petersburg 4/6/21

Fedor Chudinov and Ryno Liebenberg lived up to expectations and had a great war in the main fight of the event that took place this Friday at the Sibur Arena, St. Petersburg. The former defended his World Boxing Association (WBA) Gold Super Middleweight title after battling 12 rounds and winning by unanimous decision.

The judges’ scorecards were 116-111, 118-109, and 119-108 for the Russian champion, who made the second defense of his belt against the experienced Romanian challenger.

Both went toe-to-toe from the first round and the fight turned into a very exciting battle of exchanges in which both had their moments. However, Chudinov’s physique was the key to win as the rounds went by and proved the reason why he is the Gold champion of the pioneer organization.

The Russian knocked Liebenberg down in the ninth round with a left hook that was followed by a combination of punches. That was the icing on the cake to take a big lead on the scorecards and defeat a tough opponent who was determined to take the belt away from him. From that moment on, the Romanian was able to survive but he looked quite damaged and finished the fight thanks to his courage.

Chudinov improved his record to 24 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw, and 16 KOs, while Liebenberg’s record stands at 21 wins, 8 losses, 1 draw, and 14 wins before the limit.

Fedor Chudinov vs. Ryno Liebenberg

Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg, Russia 4/6/21

Fedor Chudinov will make the second defense of his World Boxing Association (WBA) Gold Super Middleweight title against South African Ryno Liebenberg at the Sibur Arena in St. Petersburg, Russia on Friday.

The Russian gold champion comes from a draw against the experienced Isaac Chilemba in a non-title fight. The 33-year-old fighter won the belt in December 2019 with a victory over Frenchman Hassan N’Dam and defended it once against Umar Sadiq in September last year.

The Russian boxer is looking for a new world title shot, as he already had it in May 2017. However, on that occasion he was unable to take advantage of it and lost by knockout to the now retired George Groves. Chudinov has worked hard and now he will have to beat Liebenberg to get a little closer to that shot.

For his part, the South African challenger is 37 years old and is the WBA Pan-African Champion. He will be looking to climb a step up in this challenge against the Russian and put his name on the world boxing map this Friday.

The weigh-in ceremony will take place on Thursday. Once they both weigh the 168-pound max weight limit, they will be cleared for the bout.

Chudinov has a record of 23 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw, and 16 KOs. Liebenberg, on the other hand, has 21 wins, 7 losses, 1 draw, and 14 KOs.
