			[[Oleg Maskaev]] started his professional boxing career in 1993. He has knocked out former contender [[Alex Stewart]], former [[WBO]] heavyweight challenger [[Derrick Jefferson]], and former [[World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Hasim Rahman]] (twice). However, Maskaev is also noted for a suspect chin that was evident in his knockout losses to [[Oliver McCall]], [[David Tua]], [[Kirk Johnson]], [[Lance Whitaker]], [[Corey Sanders]], and [[Nagy Aguilera]].

However, he is also noted for a suspect chin that was evident in his knockout losses to contenders [[Oliver McCall]], [[David Tua]], [[Kirk Johnson]], [[Lance Whitaker]], and [[Corey Sanders]].		Maskaev's most famous victories have been his two wins over Hasim Rahman. On November 6, 1999, in Atlantic City, Jersey, Maskaev knocked Rahman out with a right to the chin in the 8th round, sending him through the ropes and out of the ring. This fight is also notable for the famous "chair incident," in which noted referee [[Steve Smoger]], who was backup referee for this fight, was struck in the head by a chair thrown by a Rahman fan who was unhappy with the way the fight ended. The incident triggered a 10-minute free-for-all involving dozens of spectators and security guards. Two people were arrested.

	~~Maskaev fought against [[Samuel Peter]]~~ for ~~the WBC Heavyweight title on March 8 2008~~ and ~~was doing well in the early rounds, despite Peter's repeated rabbit punching and the referee's warnings~~. In the 5th round Maskaev landed some of his best shots on his opponents chin, but to no avail: Peter was seemingly unaffected, visibly shaking Oleg. He lost 5 of the 6 rounds, with Peter winning by TKO with 3 seconds remaining in the sixth round.

	In late 2008 he beat opponent [[Robert Hawkins]] by UD after 10 rounds and then defeated but unheralded Rich Boruff on March 14, 2009 via first round KO, giving him mandatory contender status to the WBC Heavyweight Championship currently held by [[Vitali Klitschko]].








			Maskaev fought Rahman again on August 12, 2006 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He knocked Rahman out in the 12th round to win the [[WBC]] [[WBC Heavyweight Champion\|Heavyweight Championship]]. His second win over Rahman was preceded by a streak of victories that helped rejuvenate Maskaev's career and earned him the [[Ring Magazine Comeback of the Year\|Comeback of the Year]] award from [[The Ring Magazine]] in 2006.

			Maskaev won his first title defense against [[Peter Okhello]] by a 12-round unanimous decision on December 10, 2006 in Moscow, Russia.

	~~==Comment(s):==~~		Maskaev was scheduled to make his second title defense against [[Samuel Peter]] on October 6, 2007 in New York City, but Maskaev withdrew from the fight due to a back injury. Multiple MRIs showed that Maskaev had a herniated disc and a bulging disc. The two eventually fought on March 8, 2008 in Cancun, Mexico, and Peter took the title with a 6th-round TKO.

			Maskaev won his next two fights, then was stopped in one round by [[Nagy Aguilera]] on December 11, 2009 in Maskaev's hometown of Sacramento, California. After three years out of the ring, Maskaev fought [[Owen Beck]] on December 30, 2012 and won by a 3rd-round TKO.
