Edit Profile
Career
He moved to Hamburg, Germany when he was 16 and currently fights out of there. Khoren is known for his good technique and speed. Gevor started boxing at the age of 12.
Khoren turned pro in 2000 and signed a contract with Universum Box Promotion.
He is currently managed by Klaus-Peter Kohl. Gevor fought against compatriot Arthur Abraham for the IBF Middleweight title on August 18, 2007.
Gevor was defeated by an 11th-round knockout from a powerful left hook. Gevor lost a controversial bout to WBA Middleweight Champion Felix Sturm by unanimous decision on July 11, 2009.
Gevor was able to get inside Sturm at will and unload on his body in the early rounds.
In the third, he even appeared to score a flash knockdown that the referee ruled as a slip. In the middle rounds, Gevor slowed down his work rate a bit. Gevor came back with a vengeance in rounds 10 and 11, resuming his high work rate and pushing Sturm around the ring on the inside.
Gevor received a cut over his left eye in round three.
The fight got more dirty in round ten when, after referee Manfred Küchler deducted a point from Gevor, both fighters wrestled each other onto the canvas. Stieglitz emerged with a cut over his right eye and Gevor was disqualified by the referee.
Angry, Khoren attacked Küchler and was removed by security. Gevor fought Baker Barakat in a six-round bout on December 10, 2011.
The whole fight was fairly even.
Barakat and people from both corners immediately tried to hold Gevor back. Later on in the dressing rooms, the fighting continued and police had to be called in to break it up.
