WBA cruiserweight super champion Denis Lebedev (32-2, 23 KOs) has announced the end of his professional boxing career that lasted almost nineteen years. The 39-year-old Lebedev decided not to take a WBA-ordered fight against regular titleholder Arsen Gulamiryan after negotiations broke down. Lebedev’s manager Vadim Kornilov stated that the terms offered for that fight were significantly lower than what Lebedev previously earned in non-title fights. Denis now intends to devote himself to social and political activities.

Great entertainer,good career at top level.ATB.
Only two split decision losses, against Huck and Gassiev. Good record.
He was never the same after that horrific beating at the hands of Guillermo Jones. The TKO loss may have been overturned due to Jones testing positive, but the damage was done.
You had a great career champ. Now take care of business in the political arena of your country and hopefully fix some things.
