Virgil "The Conqueror" Kalakoda (born 24 December 1979) is a South African

light-middleweight boxing champion and competed in K-1 MAX.^[1]

Early career

Virgil grew up in

Cape Town, South Africa. His dad Steve Kalakoda was a boxer and he used to go to the gym with him, and learnt by watching, since he was about 4 years old. Growing up around the likes of Mike Bernardo when he was in his K-1 prime was a huge influence to him.^[2]

He had 10 amateur boxing fights, with only one loss to Ruben Groenewald in the final of the national tryouts.

Professional boxing career

Virgil turned pro in 1996 at 18 years of age defeating Patrick Ngqoba by

TKO for the South African welterweight title. Virgil responded well to this setback winning his next thirteen fights between 2000 and 2003 and picked up the International Boxing Council (IBC) light middleweight world title and I.B.F.

and W.B.N. intercontinental light middleweight titles. He suffered his first defeat in four years when he lost via split decision to fellow South African William Gare in a non-title fight in Cape Town. After a win against Wahab Adebisi he decided to move into the world of kickboxing.

Kickboxing career

Virgil made his

Buakaw Por. Pramuk.^[4] Once again Virgil impressed in the split decision extension round defeat and was invited to take part in the quarter-finals despite the loss. At the final he met Andy Souwer in the quarter-finals and suffered his first stoppage defeat.^[5]

Later that year Virgil made his first (and so far only) appearance in

Takayuki Kohiruimaki and Ole Laursen

with a number of defeats including a shock loss against Se Ki Kim at the K-1 Fighting Network Khan in 2007.

Titles

2002-03 W.B.N. light middleweight Inter-continental champion (2 title defences)

2002 I.B.F. light middleweight Inter-Continental champion
2001 IBC light middleweight world champion
