Artiom Livădari (born December 6, 2001), is a Moldovan-Romanian Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer.

He is the current IFMA World Champion,[1] FEA Welterweight and Middleweight Champion,[2] as well as the 2025 World Games Muay Thai Champion[3] and European Games Champion.[4]

Artiom Livadari became the first athlete from Moldova to qualify for the World Games in Muay Thai, and the first in the country's history to win gold in Muay Thai at both World Games and the European Games.[5]

Background

Artiom Livadari was born in the village of Făurești (part of Ciorescu), Moldova. He is the only child of his parents, Serghei and Natalia Livadari.

Livadari began his athletic journey during his school years, joining the Taekwondo section under the guidance of coach Alexandru Sevastian.

At the age of 16, he transitioned to Muay Thai, initially training a few years with Andrei Grosu at Bercut Fight Club and later with Vlad Dima at the same gym.

During his teenage years, he was also passionate about basketball and considered quitting Muay Thai for this sport. However, advice from his coach, Andrei Grosu, convinced him to continue his career in combat sports.

Professional career

Livadari has a professional record of 10 wins and 3 losses.

He is the FEA Champion in the 77 kg category. On the way to the title Artiom Livadari defeated Unal Alkayis, an experienced fighter from Turkey, by knockout.[6]

Already holding the FEA title at 77 kg, Livadari decided to take on a new challenge by competing in a tournament at 85 kg on March 15, 2025, aiming to win his second FEA belt in a higher weight class. In the semifinals he faced Gasham Mammadov from Azerbaijan winning by TKO. The final fight was against Ali Yuzeir from Bulgaria. It ended with the Yuzeir's victory due to Livadari's injury.

On 29 November 2025, Artiom Livadari faced fellow Moldovan fighter Maxim Zaplitnii. After five rounds, Livadari secured the victory and became FEA Middleweight Champion.

Education

Artiom Livadari graduated from the Police Academy of the Republic of Moldova[7] and is currently pursuing a master's degree in Economic Law. Additionally, he is a fourth-year student at the University of Physical Education and Sports in Moldova.
