• Dennis “Kaheke” Alexio
  Molokai, Hawaii, USA 70-*2/65, Pro Boxing: 5-1/3, 5’11″, 215-225, 3-12-59, Self
  • IKF Pro Full Contact Rules Heavyweight World Champion.
    • Alexio won his IKF title when he defeated Barrington Patterson of London, England by TKO at the end of the 5th round In Hawaii, USA on May 31st, 1997.
    • First Defense: May, 1998, Sacramento, California, USA: Defeated Achille Roger of France by TKO in 5th round.
    • Alexio’s World Title was retired by the IKF on November 24th, 2003. The reason was because the IKF Organization had been trying to contact Mr. Alexio since June of 2003, to discuss what his future plans for the sport were, such as a title defense, or a retirement of his title. However we never received any return phone call.
    • Mr. Alexio has had a “BRILLIANT” career and will be remembered as THE BEST Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight FCR fighter in the world for years to come. We wish him the best in his future.
      • (*) Dennis Alexio: The reason for the * by Alexio’s record is because of the questions raised about his second loss. (First to Don Wilson) A loss to Stan Longinidis in Australia in a “Leg Kick” rules bout. In the bout, Longinidis won on a first round TKO after Alexio’s leg was broken (spiral fracture) following a leg kick from Longinidis. Later, Alexio claimed he broke it when he stepped in a hole in the ring padding just after the kick. Longinidis’ camp and many others said it was broke when Alexio checked one of Longinidis’ kicks and when he stepped back and put weight on it, the leg obviously gave way. The bout was sanctioned by the ISKA and the WKA. The ISKA Australia and the WKA kept the fight as a win for Longinidis while ISKA USA reversed the decision to a no contest to avoid giving Alexio a loss. Since the bout, many have given their thoughts about how Alexio’s leg broke. Some for, some against. Since we were not there, we felt it best to explain what we do know about it. Since medical experts we have spoken to have said a spiral fracture could not happen just from twisting a leg on a mat, we must recognize the fact that it could have been broken as explained above from the kick. After the bout, Alexio’s corner said on TV: “Stan won tonight with an excellent kick, but Dennis is a warrior, as is Stan, and will be back”. (Bob Wall and Nasser Niavaroni). Regardless, 1 more loss does not change who Alexio is or who Longinidis is. Both are great fighters. It’s just too bad there wasn’t any $$ left after this bout to make a rematch so we all could have had any questions answered… View this bout for yourself by CLICKING HERE Here are some more video clips of Alexio Dennis Alexio vs. Branko Cikatic or Dennis Alexio vs. Mark Russell

  • IKF Pro Full Contact Rules Super Welterweight World Champion.

    • Avtamonov was scheduled to defend his title on October 26th, 2002, in Butler, Pennsylvania, USA against Jimmy Stewart. However his trainer Oleg Vadaturskiy never even attempted to attain the proper Visa’s (as agreed with him and the promoter) to come to America. Instead of informing the IKF or Stewart’s promoters of this, he simply stopped responding to any e-mails 3 weeks prior to the fight date. To the best of our knowledge, although Avtamonov may have wanted to fight, his trainer had no desire to travel to the USA for the fight. This left the IKF no choice but to retire the title from Avtamonov in December of 2002 since his trainer had no plans of him meeting the challenge.

The bout was at Caesars Tahoe Casino in Tahoe, NV, USA on January 22nd, 1994. For a Video Clip of this bout CLICK HERE
    • Rofus’ Title was later Transferred to the IKF World Heavyweight International Rules Title. See below for explanation Roufus is still fighting in both Boxing and Kickboxing.
      • Transfer: In 1998, having NEVER been challenged for his title he won in 1992, Roufus made 2 career changing decisions. 1, He moved up in weight class and 2, he “SWITCHED” to Leg Kick / International Rules since he decided he no longer wanted to do Full Contact, above the waist Rules. According to IKF (*) Rules, If an IKF Champion is “NEVER” challenged at the title weight and rules division they have won their title at, for a minimum of 3 years, the champion may move their “TITLE” to a different weight class to seek challenges. This is ONLY possible “IF” the title the champion holds is VACANT and has NEVER been held by ANYONE in the weight class the Champion desires to move to. In addition, if the same desired title is vacant and HAS NEVER been held by ANYONE in a Different Rules Division, and the champion has decided to make a fighting style change, he/she may ALSO change their title to that different Rules Division, again, IF they have NEVER been challenged at the winning weight and division for a minimum of 3 years and AGAIN, the title they are moving to has NEVER been held by Anyone.
      • Roufus did both of these things in 1998. The stipulations though are that the fighter must defend the title within 12 months after being transferred, against an opponent selected by the IKF. If the Champion Does Not defend the new title, they will be switched back to their original title winning position.
      • (*) This Ruling was created for 2 reasons, 1, to help create new IKF champions in different rule divisions and 2, to keep IKF Champions busy rather than stay idle after winning a title. Some fighters, like Roufus, just don’t get challenged due to their requested purse, ability etc. Because of this, the title they won may sit unchallenged. By allowing movement, it opens up positions for new champions and as long as the title holder defends their new title, we see NO PROBLEM with this rule.

    • Wednesday, October 6th, 2004: Jimmy Stewart has done MORE to Promote a World Title Challenge than ANY OTHER FIGHTER. In doing so he has had “SIX”, yes, “SIX” fighters pull out on him between October 2002 and October 2004. The last one was the last draw for us here at the IKF. Jim Tisdale is the trainer of Eric Marshall of Florida. Marshall was scheduled to meet Stewart for an October 9th showdown for the vacant title. However, on Monday, October 4th, (5 days before their World Title Bout) Tisdale called the IKF and informed us Marshall hurt his back sparring over the weekend and is forced to pull out of the bout. Marshall was the 6th failed opponent for Stewart and marks the LAST DRAW for us. stewart DESERVES this Title simply because he challenged ONLY THE BEST for it. However, NONE of them were able to meet him in the ring and “Walk The Walk” for it. Now that he has it, Stewart as well as us here at the IKF can tell all Challengers or those questioning Stewarts ability, “Bring It ON!”
    • Stewart called to reture his title on December 10th, 2008. The reason was a due to a career ending accident. Stewart was struck by a car while crossing the street.
