David Gavrushevich Avanesyan (Russian: Давид Гаврушевич Аванесян; born 15 August 1988) is a Russian professional boxer who has held the WBA interim welterweight title since 2015.[1]
Early life
Avanesyan is of Armenian descent and was born in Pyatigorsk.[2]
Professional career
Avanesyan made his professional debut on 12 June 2009, scoring a four-round unanimous decision (UD) against Vazgen Agadzhanyan, who also debuted.[1] In his second fight a month later, on 11 July, Avanesyan lost a six-round UD to Andrey Klimov. He would then win twelve consecutive fights over the next four years, picking up the Russian welterweight title and two WBC regional titles along the way. Avanesyan's winning streak ended on 16 March 2013, following a split draw against Aslanbek Kozaev.
2015 and 2016 were banner years for Avanesyan. On 7 November 2015 he stopped Charlie Navarro in nine rounds to win the vacant WBA interim welterweight title.[2] The biggest win of Avanesyan's career took place on 28 May 2016, when he scored a clear UD against decorated former world champion Shane Mosley to retain his title.[3]
