Nowadays he works under the German manager Ulf Steinforth. During his career, Konečný won multiple belts. He got his first title shot in 2002 against Artur Drinaj. It was for the German International light middleweight title and Konečný came out of this fight as the winner. He retained this title for multiple occasions, until its vacation. In 2004 and 2006 he got two title shots for the EBU-EU (European Union) light middleweight title, but in these fights he suffered two of his three career losses. Anyway, he managed to win vacant WBO Inter-Continental light middleweight title against Anderson Clayton in Prague. In 2006 he also added IBF Inter-Continental light middleweight title after the victory against Ante Bilic, but Konečný then vacated the title. Lukáš managed to retain his WBO belt two times. One of his life matches came in 2008. Konečný faced Sergiy Dzinziruk for the WBO light middleweight title. He did well but lost on majority decision after 12 rounds. In 2009 he won Czech middleweight championship. In 2010 he faced Matthew Hall for the EBU-EU (European Union) light middleweight title again. He prevailed after TKO in round 6. In 2011 in Prague he defeated Hussein Bayram to become WBO Inter-Continental light middleweight champion for the second time in his career.^[2] It was also his 11th straight victory and he became one of the top prospects in light middleweight. He then finally get his major title shot with fight scheduled on 30 September. However his opponent Sergiy Dzinziruk canceled the match according to his alleged injury.^[3] A lot of people started to speculate that Dzindiruk was trying to avoid his opponent. Anyway, Dzindiruk was lately stripped of the WBO Light Middleweight belt, which was subsequently won by Zaurbek Baysangurov. After long discussions it was revealed that he will fight Baysangurov on 10 March for the IBO and WBO Light Middleweight Championship.^[4] Unfortunately, Baysangurov had to cancelled the fight because of his injury.^[5] This was already the second title match for Konečný, which was then cancelled. On 9 March, Konečný's stable SES introduced his next opponent. In this match he defeated French boxer Salim Larbi and became the interim WBO Light Middleweight champion. Konečný is now expected to fight Zaurbek Baysangurov in a match, which will reveal the rightful champion.
