Anthony Yigit, a professional boxer hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, has gathered a reputable record throughout his career. With 27 fights under his belt, Yigit emerged victorious in 24 of them, with two losses, one draw, and no no-contests. While he did not win any titles or have any title defenses, Yigit did score eight KO wins throughout his career.

Debuting in the professional boxing world at the age of 21 on April 13, 2013, Yigit fought Aliaksandr Abramenka and won via 3rd round TKO. After his debut, he went on to win four more consecutive fights. In his 22nd professional fight, the 27-year-old Yigit went up against Ivan Baranchyk for the IBF (vacant) title, marking his first world title fight. Unfortunately, he lost to Baranchyk via 7th round RTD, putting an end to his 21-fight win streak.

However, Yigit's career was not without impressive victories. Some of his most notable victories include his wins over Sandro Hernandez, Sandor Martin, Joe Hughes, Lenny Daws, Armando Robles, Mohamed Khalladi, and Kim Poulsen. Despite suffering two losses, his career record and the quality of his victories reflect his expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness as a professional boxer.

The 28-year-old's most recent fight was a non-title bout against American boxer Rolando Romero on July 17, 2021. Unfortunately, Yigit lost the fight via 7th round TKO. It has been 1 year, 8 months, and 14 days since that fight. Nevertheless, on April 8, 2023, Yigit is set to fight Keyshawn Davis.

Yigit experienced his first boxing loss against Ivan Baranchyk in 2018. The fight took place after 22 professional fights, with Yigit winning 21 consecutive matches. Baranchyk ended Yigit's win streak in the seventh round of their title fight, turning the match in his favor. It was Yigit's first opportunity to win a world title, and unfortunately, it ended in defeat.

One year after his loss to Baranchyk, Yigit entered the ring again, defeating Mohamed Khalladi via unanimous decision, which set him back on his winning streak. However, his recent fight with Romero did not go as planned, and he was defeated via a seventh-round TKO. This recent defeat put an end to his one-match win streak.

In conclusion, Anthony Yigit is a professional boxer who has achieved much success throughout his career despite the recent stumble. His boxing expertise and skill are apparent in his 24 victories, eight of which came from KOs. He fought competitively for the IBF title, marking his first world title fight, and gained critical experience from the bout. While Yigit's recent defeat stopped his one-fight winning streak, he has an opportunity to redeem himself with his upcoming fight against Keyshawn Davis.
