Dawid Gavruschewitsch Awanessjan ( Russian Давид Гаврушевич Аванесян , born August 15, 1988 in Pyatigorsk , Stavropol region , Russia ) is a Russian boxer of Armenian origin at the welterweight and former regular WBA world champion.
Professional career
The 1.73 meter tall left-wing arm , built quite robustly for a welterweight, made a successful debut on June 12, 2009 when he defeated his compatriot Wasgen Agadschanjan over 4 rounds on points by unanimous decision. In November 2015 he competed against Charlie Navarro for the vacant interim world championship belt and won by TKO in the 9th round.
Awanessjan defended this title in late May of the following year against Shane Mosley on points. On February 7, Awanessjan was named regular WBA world champion without a fight (and Keith Thurman became WBA super champion without a fight).
However, he lost this regular World Champion belt of the WBA association in his first title defense against Lamont Peterson on February 18, 2017 at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati , Ohio , USA , on points.
