I'm always fascinated with Kickboxers crossing over to Boxing (and vice versa) and I thought it would be fun and interesting to list some names and numbers. Let's start with some relevant active fighters:
Pavel Zhuravlev
Current Kickboxing Record: 68-10 (24 KO's)
Last Kickboxing Fight: 19-02-2016 TKO Victory over Brian Douwes
Current Boxing Record: 7-0 (4 KO's)
Last Boxing Fight: 26-04-2012 Decision Victory over Vitaliy Neveselyy
Current Ranking: Currently Unranked (Boxrec)
*Zhuravlev has also competed in Bigger's Better (Boxing One Night Tournaments), but these fights aren't recognized by BoxRec, probably due to having heavily adjusted rulesets. Taking into account his BB fights, his total record would come to 11-2 (two Decision losses to Mairis Briedis).
Stefan Leko*
Current Kickboxing Record: 69-36 (38 KO's)
Last Kickboxing Fight: 19-10-2014 TKO loss to Tofan Pirani
