Dzianis Zuev (born April 3, 1988) is a Belarusian kickboxer competing in the welterweight division and notably claimed victory in the 2014 Kunlun Fight welterweight tournament. Combat Press ranked him among the top ten lightweights during two periods: from September to November 2017 and again between July and November 2021.
Kickboxing career
Zuev started his boxing journey at age 16 and transitioned to kickboxing by the time he was 20. Backed by Kunlun Fight, he moved to China with the mission of donating boxing gloves and coaching underprivileged children, using boxing as a tool to enhance their quality of life.
In the 2016 Kunlun Fight welterweight tournament, Zuev advanced through his Group A semifinal and final matches but was defeated in the quarterfinal stage. That same year in June, he contended for the Enfusion welterweight title against Jonay Risco but was defeated via unanimous decision.
Throughout the 2017 Kunlun Fight welterweight competition, Zuev achieved technical knockout victories over Liu Lei and Feng Xingli, followed by a split decision win against Yohann Drai, securing his place in the semifinals where he was bested by Marat Grigorian. In the subsequent 2018 tournament, he overcame Vlad Tuinov but was stopped in the semifinals by Marouan Toutouh in early 2019.
Zuev continued to participate in Kunlun Fight tournaments thereafter, including a loss to Jiao Fukai in July 2019. Later that year, he recorded wins over Nabil Igli and Zhao Junchen at Kunlun Combat Professional League events.
In July 2020, Zuev progressed in the BFC 72 kg tournament by defeating Dmitriy Filonchik via decision after scoring two knockdowns. He was slated to face Frederic Berichon at Nuit Des Champions 28 in November 2021; however, visa complications forced him to withdraw.
In February 2022, stepping in on short notice for Amier Abdulahad at Fair Fight XVI, Zuev lost by unanimous decision to Stoyan Koprivlenski. He rebounded in May 2022 with a knockout win in the third round against Jérémy Payet at Cicada Fight Championship.
