Felix Sturm
In October 2015, it was announced that Chudinov has agreed to a rematch against Felix Sturm. The rematch was way more competitive than their first encounter, with both fighters trading but never really causing serious damage to the opponent. In a very close fight, the win was rewarded to the challenger, with one judge scoring the fight a draw at 114–114 while the other two scored it 115–113 in favor of Sturm.
