Armen Petrosyan (Armenian: Արմեն Պետրոսյան, born November 6, 1986) is an Armenian-born Italian kickboxer who competes in the middleweight division. An aggressive fighter,[1][2] Petrosyan began training in Muay Thai after moving to Italy from Armenia. Petrosyan and his brother Giorgio Petrosyan were put under contract with Oktagon management, he became a two-time Italian champion and a European titleist before arriving on the world stage in 2010 when he took back-to-back wins over Vuyisile Colossa and Dzhabar Askerov and later appeared as a competitor on the Enfusion reality television show. In March 2013, he won the eight-man Haarlem Fight Night IV tournament in the Netherlands to be crowned the WMTA World Super Welterweight Champion.

Early life

Armen Petrosyan was born in Yerevan, Armenian SSR, Soviet Union (now Armenia) and moved to Gorizia, Italy, at the age of thirteen with his mother, Karine, and sister, Lianna, joining up with his father, Andranik, and older brothers Giorgio and Stepan who had moved to the country a year earlier. He is a naturalized Italian citizen.[3]

Career

Petrosyan rose to prominence by becoming the World Professional Kickboxing Council (WPKC) Italian Champion in 2006 and the Muay Thai Association (MTA) European Champion in 2007. On November 16, 2008, he competed in the Dodge Trophy 2008 at 73 kg/161 lb in Ulm, Germany, losing to Vladimír Moravčík by knockout in the final.

He defeated

Oktagon presents: It's Showtime 2009 card held on March 14, 2009, where he beat Arnaldo Silva via unanimous decision.[4] Just over a month later, on April 24, 2009, in Trieste, Italy, Petrosyan faced Mauro Serra for the MTA Italian -70 kg/154 lb belt. He scored a knockdown early in round one with a vicious right hook before finishing his opponent off with a barrage of punches soon after to win his second national title. He would lose the title later that year when he dropped a decision at the hands of Carlo DiPaula. Petrosyan ended the year by facing one of Thailand's top middleweights in Saiyok Pumpanmuang at Janus Fight Night: Thai Boxe Last Challenge on November 7, 2009, in Padua
, Italy, where he lost by unanimous decision after a three round affair.

At the beginning of 2010, Petrosyan moved up the rankings with back-to-back wins over veteran competition. After

draw. While Petrosyan attacked with punches in the fourth stanza, it was Pajonsuk's body kicks which scored highest as the Thai took the judges' decision. He rebounded with a unanimous decision victory over Leroy Kaestner at Janus Fight Night 2010 in Padua on December 4, 2010.[7][8]

After a decision win over Miodrag Olar at Thai Boxe Mania in

draw with Warren Stevelmans in his next outing in Rome, Italy, on June 11, 2011.[18][19][20] Despite this minor set-back, he was still able to break the top ten in the world rankings, coming in at #9.[21]

Petrosyan was then invited to compete in the Fight Code Dragon Series, a sixteen-man -72.5 kg/160 lb tournament held throughout Europe over the course of 2011, and he was entered into the competition at the quarter-final stage against eventual champion Yuri Bessmertny. The pair first met in Marseille, France, on October 15, 2011, with Bessmertny coming away with a controversial split decision win.[22][23] However, it later emerged that the French sporting commission had not allowed the Fight Code promotion's complete rule set just hours before the event and so a rematch was set for Geneva, Switzerland on November 26, 2011.[24][25] Petrosyan came out aggressive in round one but was caught with a counter punch and knocked down. After beating the referee's count, he kept up the aggression and was hit with a vicious right hook from the Belarusian, this time knocking him out.[26][27] With these two consecutive losses, Petrosyan dropped out of the top ten rankings.[28]

He was able to bounce back with a dominant TKO of Djimé Coulibaly at the Yokkao Extreme 2012

supercard in Milan on January 21, 2012, dropping the Frenchman a total of four times in the first two rounds and forcing a referee stoppage.[3][29][30][31][32] After almost a year out of the ring, Petrosyan returned to defeat Marco Della Gaggia on points in Naples, Italy, on December 15, 2012.[33]

On March 24, 2013, Petrosyan defeated three opponents in one night to win the vacant

throw in the towel at the end of the third round.[34][35][36]

He was expected to fight Samo Petje in Trieste on July 5, 2013[37] but the fight seemingly fell through. He defeated Mirko Vorkapić via UD in a rematch at Gorizia Fight Night in Gorizia, Italy, on September 28, 2013[38] before losing to Alim Nabiev by the same margin at W5 Grand Prix Orel XXII in Oryol, Russia on November 16, 2013.[39]

On January 25, 2014, Petrosyan stopped Davide Cattaneo with a body shot in round one at Ring Wars in Milan.[40] He rematched Alim Nabiev at Legend 3: Pour Homme in Milan on April 5, 2014, again losing UD.[41][42][43]

Petrosyan defeated Mohamed Houmer by knock out in round two at Gorizia Fight Night 2 in Gorizia, Italy on May 25, 2014, to win the vacant
