Konstantin Gluhov (, ; born January 17, 1980) is a Latvian heavyweight kickboxer and mixed martial artist with Russian heritage. Formerly holding the WPKA World Muaythai title, he competes in K-1 events and made his debut in 2006 at K-1 Fighting Network Riga 2006 facing Denis Sobolyev.

Biography and career

Gluhov started training in karate and hand-to-hand combat at the Fair Fighting club in 1996, transitioning to kickboxing within the same year. That year marked his first championship win as Latvian youth kickboxing champion alongside teammate Alexei Kharchuk. After participating in approximately 60 amateur bouts, including world competitions in Thai boxing, Kickboxing, and Kick-jitsu, he turned professional in 2000.

Representing Latvia's national team, Gluhov secured the world title in universal combat (unifight) twice, in 2006 and 2008, and earned the European Championship in 2009. In 2007, he contended for the WBKF world championship belt but was defeated by Alexei Kudin.

On November 22, 2008, Gluhov triumphed at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2008 in Riga tournament by achieving three successive knockout victories over Marco Della Ricca, Pacome Assi, and Mindaugas Sakalauskas. In March 2009, he advanced to the final round of a Moscow-based kickboxing world championship event but fell short against Pavel Zhuravlev.

Gluhov entered the MMA arena in Finland in 2006, securing a first-round TKO win against Atte Backman. At KSW XII, he won his quarterfinal bout versus Daniel Omielanczuk but was defeated by David Olivia in the finals at KSW XIII. In December 2010, he captured the Ultimate Cage Fighters Championship (UCFC) title after winning four matches during a Vienna-hosted 16-man tournament, including a victory over Miodrag Petkovic.
