The feeling of being involved in his last boxing match after having spent 11 long and thorny years as a pro has overwhelmed Ryno Liebenberg.

The former IBO All Africa, Continental, WBC Silver, SA light-heavyweight, ABU, WBO All Africa and WBA Pan Africa super-middleweight titlist will be involved in his swansong in Russia today.

The 33-year-old Russian has held multiple minor titles. He lost to Felix Sturm for the WBA super-middleweight belt in 2015 and also got beaten by George Grooves for the same title in 2016. Chudinov holds the WBA Gold title. He drew with SA-based Malawian Isaac “Golden Boy” Chilemba in February. That was Chudinov’s only draw. He has won 23 of his 26 fights,16 by knockout.

The fearless boxer from Krugersdorp – who missed out on adding the IBO super-middleweight belt to his collection after losing to Thomas Oosthuizen in 2015 – owns a successful paint business.
