Career
Faldir Chahbari began boxing at the Kickboxing brummen gym in 1994, and started in youth matches 2 years later. Trained at the time by Kenneth Macnack, he now has his own gym giving training sessions in Zutphen and Apeldoorn. He has only one functioning eye, after losing the use of the other eye in an accident as a child.
Chahbari spent most of his early career fighting in the Netherlands.
He followed up this victory by winning the West.P.K.L. Dutch national title the very next year. Between the years 2000 and 2006 he picked up some decent wins, defeating the likes of Marco Piqué and Gago Drago and retained his West.P.K.L. and West.F.C.A. national and European titles in other bouts.
He also had a successful amateur career, winning two gold medals at the West.M.F. world championships held in Bangkok, Thailand and a silver at the West.A.K.O world championships held in Agadir, Morocco. In 2006 Chahbari entered the K-1 MAX Netherlands 2006 in a bid to qualify for a reserve fight at the K-1 World MAX 2006 Final, He made his way through to the K-1 MAX Netherlands final in Utrecht but had his dreams of a flight to Yokohama scuppered by the experienced Rayen Simson who defeated him after an extension round.
The following year he retained his West.F.C.A. European title by knocking out Chris Venrooij with a knee after just 15 seconds.
Although he had missed out on a place at the K-1 MAX final the previous year, Chahbari did make his way to Japan where he took part in a number of Shoot Boxing events in Tokyo, winning one and losing one. Since 2006 he has suffered more defeats as the competition has got tougher, losing to the likes of Buakaw Por. Pramuk and Giorgio Petrosyan, but has still shown himself to be a contender winning a KlasH tournament late in 2010 by defeating Shemsi Beqiri.
