Alexander Awdijan Alexander Awdijan (born June 27, 1977) is a professional boxer, the 2007 World Champion and the International German Champion of 2006. As an amateur he maintained mediocrity and without further perspective Awdijan dared to become a professional. In hindsight the right decision, because the Franconian metropolis was in need of a "Lokalmatador", a role into which Awdijan fits perfectly. The native Armenian does not only excel in the boxing ring: In the guest book of his homepage are a lot of entries from women that praise not solely the athletic achievements of the now 36-year-old Awdijan.
