Timeline

1985

Denis Fuatovich Shafikov (Денис Фуатович Шафиков, Шафиҡов Денис Фуат улы; born 3 June 1985) is a Russian professional boxer.

2003

He made his professional debut on 30 November 2003, winning a four-round unanimous decision over Pavel Lyakhov, who also debuted.

2007

For the next eleven years, Shafikov would remain undefeated while fighting mainly in Finland, having moved there in 2007.

2010

On 29 October 2010, he fought to a majority draw against Brunet Zamora, with the regional WBA Inter-Continental light-welterweight title on the line.

2011

He held the European super-lightweight title from 2011 to 2013, and has challenged three times for the IBF lightweight title.

A year later, on 23 September 2011, Shafikov won his first major regional championship—the European light-welterweight title—by forcing veteran contender Giuseppe Lauri to retire in his corner.

2012

Two successful defences of the title were made in 2012: the first was against Lee McAllister on 25 February, which ended in an eighth-round corner retirement.

The second was a rematch with Zamora on 31 May, which Shafikov won via unanimous decision.

2014

On 22 February 2014, Shafikov travelled to Macau to face IBF lightweight champion Miguel Vázquez.

In what was described as a "lightweight title fight that completely sucked the air out of [the] venue" due to "clinching, headbutts and lots of other matters that don't quite reflect actual fighting", Vázquez went on to hand Shafikov his first professional loss in a lacklustre unanimous decision.

The following year, on 18 December, Shafikov received another opportunity to fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title, this time against Rances Barthelemy, but lost again via unanimous decision.

2015

Shafikov has been trained by Abel Sanchez since 2015.

2016

Shafikov returned on 2 July 2016 in emphatic style, beating down and stopping undefeated lightweight prospect Jamel Herring in the tenth and final round.

2017

In November 2017, Shafikov was ranked within the world's top ten active lightweights by The Ring magazine, the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and BoxRec.

Born into a Bashkir family, Shafikov did not immediately take a liking to boxing when trying out different sports in childhood.

He nonetheless began his amateur boxing career at 13 years old, in which he had "about 90 amateur fights and lost only 6 of them."

His decision to turn professional was based on wanting to earn money for his family, rather than medals.

On 30 June 2017, in his third world title challenge, Shafikov lost a competitive unanimous decision against IBF lightweight champion Robert Easter Jr.., in a hard-hitting slugfest.

The scorecards read 120-108, 120-108 and 116-112 in favour of Easter Jr.

In his next bout, Shafikov faced Rene Alvarado, who was ranked #10 by the WBA at super featherweight.

Shafikov lost the fight via split decision.

Despite his nickname of "Genghis Khan", Shafikov is of Bashkir rather than Mongol ethnicity.

The nickname was given to him by his Finnish promoter Pekka Mäki, with Shafikov saying that he wants to "conquer the world as Genghis Khan did."

His favourite boxers include Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao.
