Aleksander Chekov (Russian: Александр Чехов, tr. Aleksander Chekov) also known as Aleksandr Chekov, or Aleksander Chekhov, is a Russian professional wrestler. He currently wrestles on the independent circuit throughout the Southeastern United States as well as New England and Puerto Rico as one half of the "Red Devil Fight Team" tag team with Mikhail Ivanov.
Chekov began training under the guidance of Ken "Legion Cage" Banks in Maine for Rampage Pro Wrestling. He then began training with "Brutal" Bob Evans, Mikhail Ivanov and Chris Venom in Massachusetts for Slamtech in the spring of 2002. He wrestled under the name Alex Chamberlain given to him by Chris Venom, as it was easier to work with than his given name without being typecast right away. He wrestled throughout all of New England traveling weekends working for such companies as New England Championship Wrestling, Northeast Championship Wrestling, Top Rope Promotions, Ringside Wrestling and Eastern Pro Wrestling. Chekov traveled from Maine to Rhode Island to train at Evans' school while attending college. Chekov relocated to Florida with Ivanov in early 2008 to expand out to different areas to wrestle and to train under "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Soulman Alex G, Bruno Sassi and “Primetime” Daryl D. Chekov used the Chamberlain name regularly before deciding to drop the moniker and use his birth name to join up with Ivanov in 2009.
Chekov made his debut in wrestling under the Chamberlain name in Swanton, VT. on July 26, 2003; He lost his first match to "Brother" Bubba Franklin. After a strong showing, he would become a mainstay in SLAM! All Star Wrestling. Chekov was involved in a heated feud with the SLAM! All Star Wrestling Television Champion, Drake Evans, in what became the company's most popular storyline well into 2004. After a near 2 year feud, Chekov won his first professional wrestling championship when he defeated Evans in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the SLAM! Television Championship. It was Chekov's first Professional Wrestling championship.
