Vladimir Virchis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vladimir Virchis, born August 18, 1973 in Kakhovka, Ukraine, is an Ukrainian boxer and is a highly touted prospect in the heavyweight division.
Known as "The Hunter", the large and powerful Virchis turned pro in 1999 and won his first 20 bouts with 17 knockouts, including victories over Julius Francis, Cliff Couser, and Michael Sprott. His career was sidetracked in 2006 when he faced phenom Ruslan Chagaev and lost a close majority decision. He followed up the loss by KO'ing contender Paolo Vidoz later in the year.
