However, he lost the title a year later in 2009 in an early TKO defeat by Thierry Karl in the first round.
Mohammedi garnered a lot of attention to himself in 2014 after defeating Anatoliy Dudchenko in a 7th round TKO victory which moved him into position to challenge Bernard Hopkins for the IBF light heavyweight title.
[4] Mohammedi went on to face Demetrius Walker on the undercard of the Kovalev vs. Hopkins bout and won via KO victory in the 1st round.
He announced a deal with boxing promotion company Main Events less than a week after his defeat of Walker.
