Professional career

Johann Duhaupas began his pro career in 2004. In 2008, with an undefeated record of 17–0, Duhaupas faced another undefeated boxer, Italian Francesco Pianeta. He lost the fight by a unanimous decision.

On March 14, 2015 Duhaupas was defeated by the German boxer Erkan Teper by a twelve round unanimous decision. Despite the loss, Duhaupas looked very good, took Teper's best shots and gave him his hardest fight of his career.

27 days later, on April 10, 2015 Duhaupas faced former world title challenger Manuel Charr in Moscow, Russia and beat him by a 10 round decision.^[2]

Duhaupas faced hard hitting Deontay Wilder for the WBC World heavyweight title on September 26, 2015 in Birmingham, Alabama.^[3] He was outboxed, and eventually in the eleventh round the referee stopped the contest in favour of Wilder, due to Duhaupas suffering severe swelling and sustaining cuts.

On April 2, 2016 Duhaupas traveled to Finland to take on undefeated Robert Helenius, and earned a KO victory in the sixth round.
