At the same venue, he became IBO cruiserweight champion by stopping Junior Anthony Wright in round eight of their bout for the vacant title on 22 May 2015.[9]
Chakhkiev lost the championship in his first defense, suffering a knockout in the fifth round against Ola Afolabi at TatNeft Arena in Kazan, Russia, on 4 November 2015.[10]
In what turned out to be his final fight, he was stopped in the seventh of a scheduled 10-round contest by Maxim Vlasov at Megasport Arena in Moscow, Russia, on 3 December 2016.[11]
