Shinebayar Sukhbaatar 'Shinny Bayaar' (born 27 August 1977) is a Mongolian professional boxer with British nationality fighting in the flyweight division. He is based in Oldham, Greater Manchester and is the former British Flyweight champion.
Professional career Bayaar's professional debut came on 25 February 2000 in Mongolia with a draw against over fellow Mongolian Yuma Dima. His very next fight saw him travel to the Philippines to meet the experienced Manny Melchor for the WBC International Minimumweight title on 28 June 2000. The fight resulted in a defeat for the novice Bayaar who lost on points over 12 rounds.
Bayaar travelled to the UK and his next contest also ended in defeat, losing over 8 rounds to Damian Dunnion at a small hall show in Stoke on 10 October 2001. He fought only twice more over the next two years winning on each occasion at bills held at the Tara Leisure Centre in Shaw, Greater Manchester. A third defeat for Bayaar came on 20 March 2003 against Nigerian Sunkanmi Ogunbiyi although two more fights that year resulted in two more wins giving Bayaar a professional record of 4-3-1 at the end of 2003.
Three more fights in 2004 saw a mixed bag for the Mongolian, beating unbeaten Norwegian Reidar Walstad with a first round stoppage yet losing to the unbeaten Martin Power on points over 10 rounds. Power would go on to become the British bantamweight champion. Over the next three years Bayaar only had four more fights with only a victory over the then unbeaten Canadian boxer Andrew Singh Kooner on 15 September 2006 standing out. At the end of 2007 Bayaar had improved his professional record to 10-4-1.Boxrec | Shinny Bayaar professional record
