Professional career
After 72 amateur bouts during which he represented both England and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tshikeva turned professional in 2022.He won the vacant IBO International heavyweight title when his opponent, Michael Webster, retired at the end of the ninth round of their fight at Wembley Arena in London on 1 February 2025.
Tshikeva faced David Adeleye for the vacant British heavyweight title at Co-op Live in Manchester on 5 April 2025. He lost by technical knockout in the sixth round. Following the fight, Tshikeva's promotor, Ben Shalom, launched an appeal for the result to be overturned, claiming the first of the two knockdowns his boxer suffered in the sixth round had been from a punch received after the referee called break. A few days later, the British Boxing Board of Control ordered an immediate rematch take place.
On 29 November 2025, Tshikeva was given a second chance at the once again vacant British heavyweight title when he took on Frazer Clarke at Valiant Live in Derby. He won by split decision with the judges' scorecards reading 115–112, 115–113 and 112–115.
