Evgenyi Romanov

At the world junior championships in 2004, Romanov stopped all his opponents with his vaunted power, including Robert Alfonso.[1]

On a national level Romanov had the problem that Russian amateur boxing is so talent-laden. At the Russian nationals 2005 (seniors, 90 kg) he beat future Olympic gold medallist Rakhim Chakkhiev 36-17 in the semifinal but lost the final to world and European champion Aleksandr Alekseyev. In 2006 he lost the final to world silver medallist Roman Romanchuk, in 2007 he beat Sergey Kalchugin but exited early in the quarters against unknown Musalchi Magomedov. At the Russian nationals 2008 he lost the final to future European and World Champion Egor Mekhontsev 5-19.[2] In the absence of Mekhontsev he beat Kalchugin again to win his first Russian Senior Championship in 2009.[3]

Romanov holds a win over Deontay Wilder at the amateur level via knockout in 2008.[4]

Romanov finished his amateur career in 2010. In 2016, after a six-year hiatus, he turned professional.

As a professional, he holds a string of victories over several journeymen fighters, including Dillon Carman, a Canadian boxer who once knocked out aging Razor Ruddock.
