Vanes Martirosyan, former world title challenger, dies at 39

November 23, 2025


Martirosyan went undefeated in his first 34 professional bouts, running his record to 33-0-1, with his only blemish being a draw against Erislandy Lara, before he lost a split decision in a vacant WBO junior middleweight title fight against Demetrius Andrade in 2013. Martirosyan’s three losses would all come against world champions, including Jermell Charlo, to whom Martirosyan lost a close decision in 2015, and another decision loss to Lara in a 2016 rematch. During his career, Martirosyan defeated two former world champions, including Kassim Ouma and Ishe Smith.
