Kickboxing career

Early years

Menshikov participated in the 2017 Tatneft Cup 80 kg tournament. In the first, quarterfinal, bout of the tournament, Menshikov was scheduled to fight Konstantin Rusu. Dmitry won the fight by a second round TKO.[4] In the semifinals he fought Surik Magakyan, and won by a first round TKO.[5] In the tournament final, Menshikov fought Sher Mamazulunov. The fight went into an extra fourth round, after which Mamazulunov won a decision.[6]

In his next fight, Menshikov won an extra round decision against Ljubo Jalovi.[7] He won his next two fights against Vasiliy Semenov and Аli Al Ameri by KO.[8]

Glory

He made his Glory debut during Glory 60, when he was scheduled to fight Samuel Dbili.[9] Menshikov won the fight by a first round TKO. He next appeared during Glory 62, two months later, to fight Robbie Hageman. Menshikov once again won by a first round TKO.[10]

Menshikov's next fight was outside of Glory, during which he won a decision against Carlos Prates.

Menshikov's next fight came ten months after his win over Prates. He was scheduled to fight Yoann Kongolo during Glory 69.[11] Dmitry won the fight by TKO, after the ringside doctor stopped the fight, due to a cut Kongolo suffered during the second round.[12]
