DMITRY VALENT

Biography

Came to Lethwei from a deep Russian kickboxing background. His size and power have made him a problem for Myanmar light heavyweights who rarely face fighters of his frame. Like many crossover competitors, he has had to adapt to the bareknuckle reality — his hand conditioning is now as serious as his striking.

Reading this record

Dmitry Valent is recorded at 16–5–0, with 10 of those 16 wins ending by knockout. Modern-era figures are the more dependable ones on this site: WLC and MTLF cards are sanctioned and their results published, so these numbers can be checked against event results rather than oral history.

63% of those wins came inside the distance, which ranks 8th of the 29 profiled fighters with a documented record. That sits in the middle band of the roster — a fighter who finishes when the opening appears but is equally accustomed to going the full distance.

Dmitry Valent is one of 3 fighters profiled at lightheavy, and fights orthodox, as 28 of the 32 profiled fighters do.

Dmitry Valent is listed as active, so this record is a snapshot rather than a final tally.
