Artem Pashporin (born 26 January 1993 in Bogorodsk, Russia) is a professional Russian athlete specializing in Muay Thai and kickboxing within the welterweight division. His career boasts numerous accolades, including the 2015 W5 World Championship, two GPRO World Championship titles (2016 and 2022), the 2018 Intercontinental WKU title, the 2018 S-1 World Championship, the 2018 European WMC Championship, and four KWU titles earned in 2021.

Biography and career

Originating from Bogorodsk in the Nizhny Novgorod region, Artem relocated with his family to Nizhny Novgorod. He initially pursued judo but switched to karate at age eleven due to a shortage of coaches. Subsequently, under the guidance of trainer Maxim Vinogradov, he transitioned into Muay Thai, which became his primary discipline.

His moniker "Rus Spur" was inspired by an incident during a bout where his opponent sustained cuts on the head. Alongside his athletic pursuits, Artem attended Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University named after Alekseev.

In 2015, Artem secured victory in the Russian Muay Thai Cup (up to 71 kg) and faced off against Muay Thai icon Buakaw Banchamek, ultimately losing by decision. Later that year, he earned the W5 world championship title after defeating notable fighters Cosmo Alexandre and Chris Ngimbi in Vienna.

Artem clinched the GPRO world title in 2016 by compelling Itay Gershon to retire during the third round. The following year, he relinquished his W5 championship after a five-round points decision loss to kickboxing legend Giorgio Petrosyan.

The year 2018 represented a career highlight with a perfect record of five wins across five matches and four championship titles: WKU Intercontinental Champion, S-1 World Champion, European WMC Champion, plus a knockout triumph over Magnus Andersson at Battle of Champions-10. A scheduled bout against Enriko Kehl was canceled for undisclosed reasons.

In 2019, Artem had a rematch with Buakaw Banchamek at All Star Fight in Bangkok but was defeated on points. He later overcame Yodwicha Banchamek at Fair Fight IX; however, that victory was later annulled following public controversy. During Kunlun Fight’s four-man tournament for the Intercontinental title, he defeated Song Shaoqiu before narrowly losing to Belarusian Dzianis Zuev in the final. An arm injury prevented him from contesting for the WMC Intercontinental title at Battle of Champions 11, where Magomed Zainukov ultimately prevailed.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption to Artem’s 2020 competition schedule. Unable to fulfill his fight commitments with Kunlun Fight due to widespread cancellations, he accepted a late invitation to compete at Fair Fight but suffered a knockout loss in the second round despite leading on points. Later that year, he participated in an international Kyokushin World Union training camp alongside legends such as Peter Aerts, Semmy Schilt, and Ernesto Hoost. A planned professional match in Bulgaria was postponed until February 2021 owing to pandemic restrictions. Additionally, Artem achieved success at the amateur Muay Thai Cup of Russia with four decisive victories.
