He previously held the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Champion title and emerged victorious in the 2021 ONE Kickboxing Featherweight World Grand Prix.
Having been active since 2009, Allazov is a former K-1 Super Welterweight Champion, a two-division WAKO-Pro K-1 rules titleholder, Nuit des Champions Super Welterweight champion, and a two-time winner of the A1 lightweight tournament.
From February 2023 to February 2025, Beyond Kickboxing ranked him as the top pound-for-pound kickboxer worldwide, a ranking he also held from February 2023 to January 2025 according to Combat Press.
Early life
Born in the village of Jandar within the Gardabani district near the border of Georgia and Azerbaijan, Chingiz Allazov’s family moved to Minsk, Belarus in 1994. He has earned a degree in business.
Early career
At ten years old, Chingiz started training in Thai boxing primarily for self-defense under the guidance of Alexander Kovtik. Within just four months, he secured victory at a Club Tournament, and after one year, he was honored as “Best” at the Republican amateur competition while also claiming his first national title as Champion of Belarus. Over a span of three years, he remained unbeaten in his age category, amassing 204 wins out of 207 amateur bouts. His professional debut took place in Thailand when he was thirteen. By sixteen, he became part of the professional team "Chinuk," coached by Andrei Gridin. His first adult professional fight was at 63 kg against Slovakia’s Jakub Safaric, which he won by knockout within fifteen seconds.
In 2014, Allazov triumphed in the A1 lightweight (-70 kg) tournament by defeating Wallid Haddad via unanimous decision in the semifinals and overcoming Abdallah Mabel in the finals. On July 31, 2015, he advanced to the final stage of the 2015 A1 lightweight tournament after knocking out Michael Pignolo and Kevin Renahy in the semifinal and final matches respectively. During the Partouche Kickboxing Tour on October 15, 2015, he secured unanimous decision victories over Ludovic Millet and Eduard Bernadou to claim the championship.
Allazov earned the WAKO-Pro World Middleweight (-72.5 kg) K-1 title following a unanimous decision win against Djimé Coulibaly. He continued his success with a unanimous decision victory over Christian Baya at Thai Boxe Mania 2016 and achieved a first-round knockout against Wu Sihan at Oktagon 2016: Turin. Later, he captured the vacant WAKO-Pro Super Lightweight (-70 kg) K-1 championship by knocking out Enriko Kehl in the fifth round.
On November 19, 2016, Allazov secured the NDC super welterweight (-70 kg) title by stopping Bruce Codron in round four. His subsequent European appearances included a first-round knockout of Karim Allous at Thai Boxe Mania 2017 and a unanimous decision win over Mohamed Hendouf during Victory – ACB KB9: Showdown in Paris on March 25, 2017. He made his Wu Lin Feng debut on April 1, 2017, defeating Saiyok Pumpanmuang through a commanding decision.
Super Welterweight Grand Prix
On March 21, 2017, Allazov was revealed as one of the eight contenders for the 2017 K-1 WGP Super Welterweight Championship Tournament, which took place on June 18, 2017. He secured a second-round knockout over Hiroki Nakajima in the quarterfinal stage. In the semifinals, Allazov delivered an early first-round knockout against the reigning Krush Super Welterweight (-70 kg) titleholder Jordann Pikeur. He then captured the vacant K-1 Super Welterweight Championship by earning a unanimous decision victory over veteran competitor Yasuhiro Kido in the final bout.
Title Reign
During the semifinals of the 2017 Wu Lin Feng Yi Long Challenge Tournament on August 5, Allazov achieved a unanimous decision win against Dzhabar Askerov, but had to withdraw afterward due to injury. On November 25, 2017, he successfully retained his NDC super welterweight (-70 kg) crown by defeating Cedric Manhoef at Nuit Des Champions.
In January 2018, Allazov improved his record against Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee to 2-0 by winning via unanimous decision at Thai Boxe Mania. His initial defense of the K-1 title came against Hinata Watanabe at K-1 World GP 2018: K'FESTA.1, where he stopped his opponent early in the second round. In April 2018, at Duel 3, Allazov extended his winning streak to 28 with a second-round knockout of Claudiu Bădoi. He relinquished the K-1 championship on February 5, 2019, following his signing with Bellator Kickboxing.
Bellator Kickboxing
On June 20, 2018, it was announced by Bellator Kickboxing that Allazov would face off against two-time K-1 World MAX champion and elite pound-for-pound kickboxer Giorgio Petrosyan at Bellator Kickboxing 10 scheduled for July 14, 2018. Petrosyan secured a commanding unanimous decision win, halting Allazov's impressive four-year run of 28 consecutive victories. The judges scored the bout 49–45 twice and once at 50–44 in favor of Petrosyan.
Allazov bounced back with a unanimous decision triumph over Mohamed Hendouf at Nuit Des Champions on November 24, 2018, marking his second and final defense of the NDC title. Later, on October 12, 2019, he defeated Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee for a third time during Bellator Kickboxing 12.
Following his bout with Sudsakorn, Allazov disclosed he was managing a right-hand injury. He intended to make a comeback after a year-long break against Frederic Berrichon; however, COVID-19 restrictions imposed by authorities postponed Nuit Des Champions events, pushing the fight into early 2021.
ONE Featherweight Grand Prix
On January 16, 2021, Allazov officially signed with ONE Championship. His debut came against Enriko Kehl at ONE on TNT 1 on April 7, 2021, where he narrowly lost via split decision.
In the quarterfinals of the 2021 ONE Kickboxing Featherweight Grand Prix, held at ONE Championship: First Strike on October 15, 2021, Allazov faced Samy Sana. He achieved a knockout victory in just 39 seconds with a liver punch, becoming the first fighter to stop Sana by knockout.
Originally set to battle Marat Grigorian in the semifinals at ONE: Only the Brave on January 28, 2022, Allazov instead competed against Jo Nattawut after Grigorian tested positive for COVID-19. Allazov earned a first-round knockout win.
In the Grand Prix final at ONE: X on March 26, 2022, Allazov defeated Sitthichai Sitsongpeenong by unanimous decision to claim the tournament championship.
ONE Featherweight Title Holder
Allazov was initially set to challenge Superbon Singha Mawynn for the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship at ONE on Prime Video 2 on October 1, 2022, but had to pull out because of an injury. The match was postponed to ONE on Prime Video 5 on December 3, 2022, and later rescheduled again to ONE on Prime Video 6 on January 14, 2023, after Superbon withdrew due to illness. Allazov captured the championship by knocking out Superbon in the second round, also receiving a Performance of the Night bonus for his effort.
He defended his title for the first time against former Glory Lightweight champion Marat Grigorian at ONE Fight Night 13 on August 4, 2023. Having previously faced Grigorian twice—with one no contest and one unanimous decision loss—Allazov earned a unanimous decision victory, successfully retaining his championship.
On January 6, 2025, Allazov was officially stripped of the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Championship, leaving his status with the organization uncertain.
