Roman Alexandrovich Karmazin (born January 2, 1973) is a Russian former professional boxer. He held the IBF Light Middleweight title.

Professional career

[edit]

Karmazin suffered his first loss in 2002, a twelve-round decision against Javier Castillejo of Spain in Castiliejo's hometown. His only draw came early in his career in an eight-round fight against Javier Martinez in Avilés, Spain. Karmazin also has a no-contest against former title contender Jason Papillion. The 2004 bout was halted when Papillion was cut by an accidental headbutt in the fourth round.

In 2004, Karmazin outworked Keith Holmes to a majority decision in an IBF title eliminator.

A consistent puncher, Karmazin won the IBF Light Middleweight championship through steady work that led to a lopsided unanimous decision over Kassim Ouma.[1] On July 8, 2006, nearly a year after his last fight, Karmazin lost his title to Cory Spinks.[2]

Karmazin's corner includes world-class trainer Freddie Roach.
