Denis Inkin (born 7 January 1978) Russian: Инкин, Денис Анатольевич is a Russian former professional boxer who fought in Germany at super middleweight.[1]
Before turning professional Inkin had an extensive career as an amateur whilst serving as a Captain in the tank forces of the Russian army.
Inkin's first fight as a professional boxer was in June 2001, in his home town of Novosibirsk, when he beat Kazakhstani fighter Talgat Abdykarimov with a first round knockout.[1]
Inkin fought all of his first 23 fights in Russia and the Ukraine, with the exception of one in the United Kingdom, winning all of his fights with 17 wins by KO.[1]
During his time being based in Russia, Inkin fought for his first title belt against Bulgarian Veselin Nikolaev Vasilev in Moscow, for the vacant IBF Inter-Continental super middleweight title. Inkin knocked Vasilev out in the first round to take the title.
He moved to Germany in June 2005 from where he boxed in Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia and won that WBC International super middleweight title against German Mario Veit with a seventh round KO of Veit.
On September 27, 2008, at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg, Germany, Inkin claimed the vacant WBO super middleweight title, previously held by Joe Calzaghe for over 11 years, with a twelve round unanimous decision victory over Fulgencio Zuniga.[3] In January 2009, in his first defence of the title, Inkin lost to Hungarian Karoly Balzsay over 12 rounds in Germany.[4]
