Krzysztof Włodarczyk (Polish pronunciation: [ˈkʂɨʂtɔv vwɔˈdart͡ʂɨk]; born 19 September 1981) is a Polish professional boxer.[1] He is a two-time former cruiserweight world champion, having held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) title from 2006 to 2007 and the World Boxing Council (WBC) title from 2010 to 2014.[2]

Professional career[edit]

Włodarczyk and Francisco Palacios after their fight in 2011. Włodarczyk is posing with the WBC title.

Włodarczyk held the IBF Inter-Continental cruiserweight title during 2001-2002, the Polish International cruiserweight title during 2002-2004, the WBC Youth cruiserweight title during 2003-2004, the World Boxing Foundation cruiserweight title in 2004, the European Union cruiserweight title in 2005, the International Boxing Council cruiserweight title during 2006-2007, the WBC FECARBOX cruiserweight title in 2006 and the IBF cruiserweight title during 2006-2007.[1]

His trainer is Fiodor Lapin.

He won the IBF title on November 25, 2006 with a split decision over Steve Cunningham (19-0, 11KOs) but lost in a rematch on May 26, 2007.

He fought Giacobbe Fragomeni (26-1, 10KOs) on May 16, 2009 for the WBC cruiserweight title. Włodarczyk knocked down his opponent during round 9 but the fight went to a draw, in May 2010 he won a heated rematch by TKO in round 8[3] at the Atlas Arena in Łódź, Poland.

In September 2010, Włodarczyk defended his title against unsung Jason Robinson. In November 2011, he successfully defended his title against Australian Danny Green (31-4, 27KOs) by TKO in the eleventh round at Challenge Stadium in Western Australia.[4] He also beat undefeated Puerto Rican Francisco Palacios by UD and by SD in 2011/2012.[5]

In 2013 he upset undefeated Russian Olympic champion Rakhim Chakhkiev (16-0, 12KOs) after coming off the deck to win by KO in Moscow for his arguably biggest win.[6] On December 6, 2013 Wlodarczyk made his 6th successful title defence when he fought Giacobbe Fragomeni a third time at UIC Pavilion in Chicago.[7] The fight was stopped after round 6 in favour of Wlodarczyk, after a cut over Fragomeni's left eye.

Wlodarczyk lost his WBC cruiserweight title on September 27, 2014 to Grigory Drozd (38-1, 27KOs).[8] At the Krylatskoe Sport Palace in Moscow, the judges scored the bout 118:109, 119:108, 119:108 all in favour of Drozd.

On 20 May 2017, he fought undefeated contender Noel Gevor. In a rough, close fight, Wlodarczyk managed to outperform Gevor in the final rounds in order to snatch a split-decision win.[9]

On 21 October 2017 Wlodarczyk challenged IBF champion Murat Gassiev (24-0, 18KOs) in the World Boxing Super Series quarter-final bout at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Gassiev delivered a 3rd round KO, connecting with a left to the body dropping Wlodarczyk.

Wlodarczyk notched his 55th career win on 2 June 2018 at the G2A Arena in Rzeszow, when he outboxed Nigeria’s Olanrewaju Durodola (27-5, 25KOs) to a unanimous decision.[10] The judges scored the fight 97:93, 97:93 and 98:92 on the third card. It was Wlodarczyk’s second victory following his first ever stoppage defeat.

On November 6, 2021 Krzysztof Wlodarczyk registered his 60th victory as Argentinian Maximiliano Gomez (29-5, 13KOs) bowed out after four rounds.[11]

On October 7, 2023 Wlodarczyk faced professional mixed martial artist (28-17), former UFC fighter, and boxer (29-7, 28KOs), Fabio Maldonado. The bout – held at the Hala MOSiR, Jastrzębie-Zdrój – was stopped by referee Tomasz Chwoszcz in the seventh round, with a Wlodarczyk TKO win.[12]
