Biography
Dinu is also an Independent Special Actions and Intervention Service (SIIAS) agent.[2]
Professional career
He turned pro in 2008.[3]
On 13 December 2013, Dinu won the third season edition of Bigger's Better, a boxing tournament under a familiar format of the popular UK Prizefighter series, with all the fights scheduled for three-minute rounds. He rocked through his first tournament in Greece, until to repeat the trick later in the same year in the super final from Portugal.[4][5][6]
On 17 November, 2018, Dinu faced title contender Jarrell Miller, who was ranked #2 by the WBA and #4 by the WBO.[7] Dinu started the fight well, boxing behind his jab. His start was overshadowed by the powerful Miller, who started to apply more pressure in the fourth round, and drop Dinu twice, who couldn't bet the count the second time.[8]
In his following fight, Dinu faced another title contender in Kubrat Pulev. Pulev was ranked #1 by the IBF and #9 by the WBC.[9] The fight started off slow, as Pulev picked up the pace in round two. In the fourth round, Dinu conected on a couple of overhand rights, which caused a sever cut over Pulev's left eye. Pulev was cleared to continue the fight. By round seven, Pulev had regained his confidence, and managed to drop Dinu three times in the round. Dinu managed to get up from the first two, but after the third knockdown in a row, the referee decided to stop the fight.[10]
On 14 December, 2019, Dinu bounced back with a fourth round TKO win against Frank Bluemle.[11]
