Siarhei "White Wolf" Liakhovich was born May 29, 1976, in Vitebsk, Belarus. He started boxing at the age of 11 under the trainer Anatoliy Kolchin.
As any belarusian citizen, Liakhovich received a mandatory 9 years education at public middle school. He didn't seem to get higher education, as he was preoccupied with boxing training.
Siarhei Liakhovich started his professional career in 1998, winning his first fight against Ihar Sharapau by first round KO. 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 7th 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.
He has won his last two fights a first round TKO of Jeremy Bates on November 7, 2009 in Nuremberg, Germany and a 9th round KO of Evans Quinn in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany on May 22, 2010 on the undercard of Chagaev-Meehan. His manager is Tony Cardinale who engineered his release from Don King Productions and signed him to Main Events.
