Konstantin Gluhov (Russian: Константин Игоревич Глухов, Latvian: Konstantīns Gluhovs; born January 17, 1980) is a Latvian heavyweight kickboxer and mixed martial artist of Russian descent. He is a former WPKA World Muaythai champion, currently competing in K-1. He made his K-1 debut in 2006 at K-1 Fighting Network Riga 2006 against Denis Sobolyev.^[2]

Konstantin Gluhov started karate and hand-to-hand fighting in 1996 at the Fair Fighting club with coaches Saulius Sheikis and Vasily Fleisher. But just a couple of months later, the club shifted to kickboxing. In the same year, 1996, Kostya wins his first title with his teammate Alexei Kharchuk - Latvian kickboxing champion (youth). In the amateur ring, Glukhov won the world championships in Thai boxing, Kickboxing and Kick-jitsu. In 2000, after 60 amateur fights, Konstantin became a professional.

In 2006 and 2008, Gluhov as part of the Latvian national team won the world championship in universal combat (unifight). And in 2009, he became Europe Champion (unifight).

In 2007, in Sochi, Gluhov lost for WBKF world championship belt to Alexei Kudin from Belarus

On November 22, 2008 Gluhov won the K-1 World Grand Prix 2008 in Riga tournament by three consecutive knockouts over Marco Della Ricca, Pacome Assi and Mindaugas Sakalauskas.^[3]

March 26, 2009 in Moscow hosted a kickboxing world championship tournament, which was attended by Pavel Zhuravlev, Alexei Kudin, Konstantin Gluhov and Elvin Abbasov. Gluhov lost in the finals to Zhuravlev

Gluhov's debut in MMA took place in 2006 in Finland. Konstantin won his first fight by TKO in the first round over Atte Backman, Finland.

At the KSW XII 8-men tournament Konstantin won the quarterfinal of the Pole Daniel Omielanczuk, but in the tournament finals, already at KSW XIII, he lost to the American David Olivia.

In December 2010, Gluhov took part in the Ultimate Cage Fighters Championship 16-men tournament, held in Vienna. Having won 4 early victories, including over Serb Miodrag Petkovic, whom Gluhov lost in previous competitions, Konstantin won the UCFC belt.
