Professional career

After turning professional in 2011, Relikh compiled a record of 21-0 before challenging WBA champion Ricky Burns for the super lightweight title, he would fall short losing via unanimous decision in a competitive fight that could have gone either way. [1] He would then go on to fight Rances Barthelemy this time losing a very controversial decision, Relikh would get his revenge 10 months later in a fight that would also be for the vacant WBA super lightweight title. [2]

World Boxing Super Series

On June 27, 2018, Relikh was the first super lightweight to be announced for the 140 lbs edition of the series. [3]

In the quarter-final, Relikjh defended his WBA super lightweight title against Eduard Troyanovski. In a close matchup, Relikh managed to secure a unanimous decision win, 115-113 on all three scorecards, to retain his WBA belt and move on to the WBSS semi-final. [4]

In the semi-final, Relikh faced American Regis Prograis. In the opening round, Prograis seemed relaxed, and patiently managed to land a hard left to Relikh's liver which dropped Relikh to his knee. In the second, Relikh was careful in protecting his side, which limited his shots and let to another dominant round for Prograis. In the fifth round, Prograis continued his dominance and managed to bloody up Relikh's nose badly. In the sixth round, Relikh's corner had seen enough and threw in the towel. [5]
