[edit] Amateur

[edit] Pro
His first defeat occurred on June 1, 2002, when he was knocked out by Maurice Harris in the 9th round.
Liakhovich won the WBO title from Lamon Brewster on April 1, 2006. Liakhovich was knocked down in the 6th round, but went on to win on points via unanimous decision. He lost the title to Shannon Briggs by technical knockout in the 12th round on November 4, 2006, after being knocked down twice. After the first knockdown, Liakhovich, already shaky, took a big right from Briggs and fell through the ring ropes, prompting the referee to stop the match. The clock time was 2:59 at that point.
On February 16, 2008, Liakhovich lost to Nikolai Valuev by unanimous decision.
His manager is Ivaylo Gotsev, who also manages heavyweight contender Samuel Peter.
