The Korean Superboy
Dooho Choi
Career overview
Dooho Choi, the South Korean featherweight, holds a professional record of 17-4-1 and fights out of an orthodox stance. The Korean Superboy is a high-volume striker with an aggressive forward pressure game, landing 5.00 strikes per minute at 55% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive mechanics with 57% striking defense.
Choi averages 1.26 takedowns per 15 minutes with 53% accuracy and 59% takedown defense, indicating a well-rounded approach that blends striking with occasional wrestling. His most notable trait is his knockout power, reflected in a 23.6 KO score, exemplified by recent finishes including a dominant second-round TKO of Bill Algeo in July 2024 and a brutal first-round knockout of Juan Manuel Puig in November 2014 at just 18 seconds.
However, Choi has faced setbacks against elite competition, suffering a second-round KO loss to Jeremy Stephens in January 2018 and dropping a decision to Charles Jourdain in December 2019. Most recently, he rebounded with a second-round stoppage of Daniel Santos in May 2026.
Over his last eight fights, Choi maintains a 5-2-1 record, demonstrating resilience despite inconsistent performances at the highest level. His next assignment will test whether he can sustain this recent momentum against ranked featherweight opposition.
