Timeline

1975

Mahyar Monshipour (born 21 March 1975 in Tehran, Iran) is an Iranian-born French boxer who was the World Boxing Association's super bantamweight champion for nearly three years between 2003 and 2006.

1996

After his minor amateur career, Mayhar Monshipour turned professional on October 26, 1996 by knocking out Karim Azagzaoui during the 6th round in a rather rough fight.

He then went on to win 5 consecutive matches, all ending in knockouts.

At the time, his style was already that of a slugger, but he started boxing on his opponents without protecting himself and his only technique was to “jump headlong”.

1997

In December 1997, he fought the Congolese Euloge Makiza Sita (8 wins and 2 losses).

Monshipour showed to be stronger but made the mistake of not protecting himself.

Being the more powerful fighter, he sent Sita to the mat twice causing Sita to lose points.

Mayhar Monshipour found victory once again by beating Medhi Path in seconds.

This victory was a new personal record for Mayhar because it was the only time he got a KO in the first round.

After another victory, he goes on to fight the Hungarian Sandor hope Koczak (7 fights, 7 wins).

From the 1st round Monshipour is dominant and sends him to the mat.

But in the second round, Koczak elbows Monshipour in the eye.

Not only was Koczak not sanctioned, but Monshipour stopped the fight in the third round for the broad caused injury.

From that defeat, Monshipour will later experience an unbeaten 8 years.

He obtained 8 wins (5 KO).

His style later changed: Mahyar would still advance on his opponents but became a more technical slugger.

He would dodge blows while also dealing out attacks to the body never yielding an inch to his opponents.

The first to confront this is the British, Michael Adlis who exhausted by the roller abandoned the fight in the fourth round.

2002

On January 18, 2002, he won the title Champion of France super bantamweight by knocking out Salem Bouaita in the 9th round.

He defended his title once again against Frederick Bonifai (this will be his last win on points).

On September 13, 2002 he acquired the European title against the Franco- Turkish Tuncay Kaya in just 6 rounds.

He retains this title two times against Mustapha Hame (KO in the 6th round) and Germán Guartos (KO in the 3rd round).

2003

On July 4, 2003, Mahyar Monshipour applied for a first world title match.

He faces a friend, the world champion super bantamweight WBA Salim Medjkoune at Futuroscope in Poitiers.

True to his promise, Monshipour put up a fight from the very beginning, The fight was transforming rapidly into a real war, between two men going blow for blow.

In the last round, the challenger Mahyar Monshipour (leading Salim Medjkoune to two of the three judges, 107-102 and 106-104 to 104-104) continues the pace.

With a right hook to the chin that abruptly ended the fight after 1 minute and 27 seconds, Medjkoune heavily collapses to the ground and remained there for several minutes before getting up to the cheers of 4,300 spectators that were relieved for his well being.

Monshipour became the new world champion WBA.

Soon after his story inspired television and he becomes one of the few French boxers to be invited to boxing debates.

He created in 2003 the association France-Bam to help the Iranians to Bam.

On December 16, 2003, he defended his title for the first time against Jairo Tagliaferro, a hard to fight Venezuelan, Monshipour forced him down in the 8th recovery.

He later faces Medjkoune for a second time.

After a good start to the fight, Salim Medjkoune was gradually worn down by the wide hooks of the titleholder.

Having proved himself once in the 5th round, he resumed the 7th round exhausted.

But the end was coming as a right hook to the body sends down Salim Medjkoune in the 8th round.

After an eight count by the referee, Medjkoune continues the battle to later return to the ground and his corner threw in the towel.

Monshipour still defends his title two more times before facing Shigeru Nakazato, a boxer who had unsuccessfully tried twice to take a world title.

From the initial sound of the bell, Nakazato suddenly advanced on the defending champion.

2006

He lost his belt to Thai Somsak Sithchatchawal on 18 May 2006, in a match that won The Ring Fight of the Year and the Boxing Writers Association of America's "Fight of the Year" known as the Harry Markson Award.
