About me

I was born to Zdeněk and Monika in Brno, Czech Republic. My father is a construction engineer, and my mother is a rheumatologist.

At eight years old, I began playing tennis. Through this sport, I built the foundations of strength, coordination, flexibility, and discipline - qualities that later became the bedrock of my boxing career. It is never too early to build discipline.

I began training in a fitness centre and started with Thai boxing. At first, I was focused on bodybuilding, but eventually I had to make a decision - either I was going to be a fighter or a bodybuilder. I chose to be a fighter.

I went from Muay Thai to Boxing and started working with my Ukrainian trainer, Oleksandr Bohun. During this period, the first thoughts of becoming a professional boxer entered my mind. What began as training slowly turned into ambition. 

My first amateur fight was against an opponent who already had eight fights under his belt. I struggled to keep up with his movement and experience. I lost - but that loss changed me. I did not want to experience defeat again, and it pushed me to work harder than ever before.

 After that first loss, I went on a winning streak and secured dominant victories. My momentum was building until COVID disrupted everything.

The uncertainty led to a loss of motivation. Questioning my direction, I decided to pursue a career in finance and enrolled at university to develop myself intellectually. 

 While building myself professionally in finance, I gained valuable skills. However, the process eventually took a toll on my mental health. I decided to begin therapy - a decision that became a turning point in my life.

Therapy opened my eyes. It made me realize that boxing was not just a sport for me - it was part of who I am. Returning to boxing was not optional. It was necessary. 

 My comeback fight took place at the end of January. I lost, and the losses continued.

Despite the setbacks, I chose to compete at the national championships. There, I faced a highly experienced opponent from the national team. I performed beyond expectations. Although the referee stopped the fight after a late count, I felt stronger than ever. It did not feel like defeat at all. 

 I decided to turn professional. The process is still ongoing, as I want to make the right decision and negotiate the best possible terms.
