==Notes==
*Alvarez is the younger brother of [[Ramon Alvarez]], [[Ricardo Alvarez]] and former interim [[WBA]] light middleweight champion [[Rigoberto Alvarez]].
*Made his professional debut on October 29, 2005, just three months after his 15th birthday.
*Given the nickname "Canelo" (Spanish for cinnamon) because of his red hair.
*Alvarez tested positive for two drug tests after his bout with [[Gennady Golovkin]]. His rematch with Golovkin was called off. Alvarez later decided not to enroll into the [[WBC]]'s clean boxing programme, and was therefore removed from their rankings.
*Alvarez is the second boxer to hold world titles in three different weight divisions simultaneously. However his feat does not compare to that of [[Henry Armstrong]] who was the Lineal Champion at 126lbs, 147lbs and 135lbs simultaneously. Whereas Canelo was only the Lineal Champion in one division (160lbs) and the Ring Magazine/WBA Champion at 168lbs. He also held the WBO title at 175lbs.
*He is the fourth former junior-middleweight titleholder to also win a belt at light heavyweight after [[Tommy Hearns]], [[Sugar Ray Leonard]] & [[Mike McCallum]].
*Alvarez is the first four-belt world champion at 168 pounds and the sixth man to be a four-belt champion in boxing history.

Gennady Golovkin vs. Vanes Martirosyan

[[File:20180426_111747.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]
*'''Promoters:''' [[Oscar De La Hoya]] ([[Golden Boy Promotions]]) & [[Tom Loeffler]] ([[K2 Promotions]])
*'''Aired On:''' [[HBO]]
*'''[[WBA]] Super World middleweight title''' (19th defence by Golovkin)
*'''[[WBC]] World middleweight title''' (4th defence by Golovkin)
*'''[[IBO]] World middleweight title''' (17th defence by Golovkin)
*WBC commemorative belt "Bats Il Ajaw" on the line, crafted by Indios from the Mexican State of Chiapas.
* ''IBF World middleweight title (not at stake)''

==Summary==
Golovkin successfully defended his WBA and WBC titles with a second round KO over WBC #1 light middleweight contender Martirosyan. Good action in the first with both fighters landing flush powerful blows, Gennady mostly head hunting & Vanes with hooks to the body. More of the same in the second as both fighters went toe to toe, a good combination on the ropes finished the light middleweight contender. As Martirosyan was on his way down he was hit with a hard right hook on the moment his left knee made contact with the canvas. Very much flirting with a potential disqualification had a more conservative referee was working that night. Time was 1:53.

Promoter Tom Loeffler regarding IBF title: “Gennady still has the title, it’s not sanctioned by IBF but they are not going to strip him,”.

Despite Golovkin's last consecutive four fights where fractions of his overall titles collection was at stake. It was still his 20th title fight where he successfully defended a minimum of one major belt. Therefor technically equaling Bernard Hopkins record of 20 successful middleweight title defenses.

'''Vitali Klitschko''' (Ukrainian: ''Vitaliy Volodymyrovych Klychko'') is a former [[WBO]], [[WBC]] and [[Ring Magazine|Ring Magazine]] World Heavyweight Champion.

'''[[:Category:Vitali Klitschko Gallery|Vitali Klitschko Gallery]]'''

==Amateur Career==

** Defeated [[Alexei Lezin]] (Russia) PTS (10-6)

==Doping Suspension==
Klitschko tested positive for a banned substance in 1996, received a two-year suspension and was thrown off the Ukrainian boxing team for the Atlanta [[Olympics]]. He had planned to box at super heavyweight while his younger brother, [[Wladimir Klitschko]], planned to compete as a heavyweight. Wladimir, who was struggling to make weight, took over the super heavyweight slot and went on to win the gold medal.

Klitschko revealed in his 2004 autobiography that he turned to steroids after aggravating an old leg injury he had sustained in a kickboxing tournament. He said he went to a Ukrainian doctor who gave him something that would heal it, but he didn't check the doping list.

==Professional Career==
Klitschko knocked out [[Herbie Hide]] in two rounds to win the [[WBO]] heavyweight title on [[Herbie Hide vs. Vitali Klitschko|June 26, 1999]]. He lost the title to [[Chris Byrd]] in his third defense on [[Vitali Klitschko vs. Chris Byrd|April 1, 2000]]. Klitschko, comfortably ahead on points, retired after the ninth round due to an injured shoulder. It was his first loss after 27 consecutive knockout wins.

Klitschko fought [[Lennox Lewis]] for the [[WBC]] and [[Ring Magazine]] heavyweight titles on [[Lennox Lewis vs. Vitali Klitschko|June 21, 2003]]. He was a late substitute for [[Kirk Johnson]], who pulled out of the fight because of an injury. Klitschko gave Lewis a much tougher fight than most expected. However, Lewis opened bad cuts over both of Klitschko's eyes, which led to the fight being stopped after the sixth round. Klitschko was ahead 58-56 on all three official scorecards.

After Lewis retired, Klitschko stopped [[Corrie Sanders]] in eight rounds to win the vacant [[WBC]] and [[Ring Magazine]] heavyweight titles on [[Vitali Klitschko vs. Corrie Sanders|April 24, 2004]]. Klitschko's first title defense was an eighth-round TKO of [[Danny Williams]] on [[Vitali Klitschko vs. Danny Williams|December 11, 2004]]. He was then scheduled to face [[Hasim Rahman]] on April 30, 2005, but the fight was postponed when Klitschko pulled a muscle in his upper thigh while jogging. The fight was rescheduled for June 18, but pushed back again because the thigh muscle wasn't fully healed. The next date, July 23, had to be changed after Klitschko had minor back surgery. The fourth date for the fight was November 12, but Klitschko then injured his knee while sparring and had to have surgery. Promoter [[Bob Arum]] said the fight could be rescheduled for March 2006, but Klitschko, frustrated by his injuries, announced his retirement on November 9, 2005.

At the [[WBC]] gala on December 20, 2005, Klitschko was appointed "Champion Emeritus." The status gave him the right to become the "immediate mandatory official challenger" if he chose to fight again.

Klitschko returned to the ring to face [[Samuel Peter]] for the [[WBC ]] heavyweight title on [[Vitali Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter|October 11, 2008]]. It was his first fight in 46 months. Klitschko dominated the fight, and Peter retired in his corner after the eighth round.

During his second reign as WBC heavyweight champion, Klitschko successfully defended the title nine times. He defeated [[Juan Carlos Gomez]], [[Chris Arreola]], [[Kevin Johnson]], [[Albert Sosnowski]], [[Shannon Briggs]], [[Odlanier Solis]], [[Tomasz Adamek]], [[Dereck Chisora]] and [[Manuel Charr]].

On December 16, 2013, Klitschko vacated the WBC heavyweight title. He said he doesn't expect to fight again as he pursues a presidential bid in his home country of Ukraine. The WBC once again named him "Champion Emeritus."

Klitschko had a record of 15-2 in world title fights and was 8-2 against former, current or future world champions.

==Political Career==
Klitschko ran for mayor of Kiev and the Ukrainian parliament in 2006. The elections were held on March 26. He campaigned on an anti-corruption platform.

He was a supporter of Viktor Yushchenko and his party, ''Our Ukraine''. Klitschko was seen at Yushchenko's side during the 2004 Orange Revolution, which ultimately resulted in Yushchenko's election as president.

Klitschko received 26% of the vote in the mayoral election. He was ahead of incumbent mayor Oleksandr Omelchenko, but trailed businessman Leonid Chernovetskiy. Klitschko's aspirations for parliament were also unsuccessful, as his party received less than 3% of the vote, which was necessary to earn representation in parliament. However, Klitschko was elected as a people's deputy to Kiev City Council.

Klitschko is the head of the UDAR (Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform) political party, which he founded on April 24, 2010.

He won election to Ukraine's parliament on December 15, 2012.

On October 24, 2013, Klitschko announced that he will run for president of Ukraine in 2015.

On March 29, 2014, Klitschko pulled out of the presidential race and announced that he would run for mayor of Kiev.

Klitschko was elected mayor of Kiev on May 25, 2014. He received 57.6 percent of the vote. On November 16, 2015, Klitschko was re-elected with 66.5 percent of the vote.

*'''[[World Boxing Association]] Middleweight Title''' (18th defense by Golovkin)
*'''[[International Boxing Federation]] Middleweight Title''' (4th defense by Golovkin)
*'''[[The Ring Magazine]] Middleweight Title''' (2nd defense by Alvarez)
*'''[[International Boxing Organization]] Middleweight Title''' (16th defense by Golovkin)
* Battle for the BoxRec number one 160 pound worldwide ranking, Gennady Golovkin defending his titular belts against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez
* 160 pound weight limit established mandatory unless a catch weight is mutually agreed upon before the bout by the titular sanctioning bodies
* Álvarez did not pay WBC nor IBO sanction fee. If he had won, both title would have become vacant.
* WBC offered a special "Huichol" crafted commemorative belt to the winner, which Canelo probably would not have accepted.
* WBA offered a special version of their Super belt, with the names of both fighters engraved on gold plates.

After Alvarez defeated [[Julio Cesar Chavez]] by 12 round decision in the televised HBO main event on Saturday, May 7, 2017, Gennady Golovkin alias 'GGG', present at ringside for the T-Mobile Arena at Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, entered the ring after the unanimous decision for Alvarez was announced. Golovkin announced the long awaited bout between himself and Alvarez would take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 16, 2017 (location of the bout and card to be determined). Canelo stated "Since I was 16 years old, I have fought everyone. When I was born, fear was gone. Little by little, I am growing (as a fighter). The rival (GGG bout) will give me the tools (opportunity) to showcase myself." GGG responded "It was a very nice performance. Congratulations. He (Canelo) looks good. Right now looks good." (Is Canelo the biggest challenge of your career?) GGG "Yes, he is, of course. Canelo "That's what we will expect come September. I've had difficult fights, tought fights, and that (GGG) no doubt is going to be a tough fight. I always say Canelo is the best, because I fought the best." GGG (to Canelo) "Good luck in September!" Canelo "Luck is for mediocre people." Neutral HBO commentator Max Kellerman stated "Christmas is coming early, folks."

*'''Promoter:''' [[Top Rank]] (2013-present)
== Career Overview ==
'''Vasyl Lomachenko''' is a Ukrainian former amateur boxer who won the Featherweight Olympic Gold medal and was awarded the prestigious '''[[Val Barker Trophy]]''' for the most 'outstanding boxer' at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Also in 2008, Lomachenko won the gold medal at the European Amateur Championships.

Vasyl went on to win the gold medal at the 2009 World Amateur Championships, where he only conceded 7 points in the whole tournament despite breaking his hand in the tournament.

In 2011, Lomachenko moved up to the lightweight division where he captured the gold medal at the World Amateur Championships. In 2012, he won the Olympic Gold medal at the Olympic Games in London, England.

He finished his amateur career with a claimed career record of 396-1, with his only loss avenged twice.

Former Olympic gold medalist [[Istvan Kovacs]] said of Lomachenko, “Thank God there was no Lomachenko in my division at the time, I never saw a fighter like him before”.

After winning the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics, Lomachenko entered the World Series of Boxing 2012/2013 as a lightweight representing the “Ukraine Otamans”, where he amassed a record of 6-0 in 5-round bouts, scoring knockdowns on most of his opponents.

In August 2013, Lomachenko turned professional after signing for [[Top Rank]] and is scheduled to debut against [[Jose Ramirez]] (25-3) in an 10-round contest for the WBO International Featherweight Championship.

== Amateur career ==
[[File:Vasyl Lomachenko 2.jpg|right|300px]]
In 2004 he became the Junior flyweight European U-17 champion, in 2006 he won the Junior World Championships, where he beat future Bantamweight World Champion and fellow southpaw [[Sergey Vodopyanov]].

Next year at the (seniors) World Championships 2007 in Chicago he won the silver medal in the Featherweight class, and qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympic games. In the first round, he drew [[Albert Selimov]], the man who defeated him in the World Amateur Championships. However, Lomachenko was able to avenge the loss.

2015-06-14T02:36:25Z

Aussieathlete: /* Fight Summary */

<fight>1942282</fight>

==Fight Summary==
*Controversial decision. ESPN.com scored the bout 116-112 for Cunningham, who was the busier fighter and landed more punches overall.
*Cunningham kept moving, throwing jabs and body shots all night. Glazkov followed him, throwing only single punches.
*Cunningham right hand knocked out Glazkov's mouthpiece in the ninth round.
*Cunningham's right hand leads swelled Glazkov's left eye and cut Glazkov over the right eye.
*Despite clearly out-landing Glazkov, Cunningham was on the back-foot for a vast majority of the fight, perhaps giving the judges more chances to give more rounds to Glazkov purely just on aggression regardless of what punches landed.
*IBF final heavyweight title eliminator. Glazkov mandatory IBF challenger for winner of [[Wladimir Klitschko]] versus [[Bryant Jennings]] at Madison Square Garden.

==CompuBox Statistics==

Cunningham: landed 180 of 649 punches, 28%
Glazkov: landed 144 of 441 punches, 33%
