On February 16, 2008, Liakhovich lost to Nikolai Valuev by unanimous decision following a one-sided contest.[4] He won his next two fights a first-round TKO of Jeremy Bates on November 7, 2009 in Nuremberg, Germany and a 9th-round KO of Evans Quinn in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany on May 22, 2010 on the undercard of Chagaev-Meehan.
