Profiles
One of the key concepts of this site, from the moment we began it, was to allow fans to get to know more about various boxers from Asia. What a better way to do that than to profile various fighters, from champions to prospects, from former fighters to current contenders.
Originally these profiles were listed under different sections on the site but given the sheers number of them we though it was better to allow fans to access them all from the same lead page, this one. Every so often we will add a new profile, and we will, attempt to at least, keep them all up to date. The profiles all feature a lot of test, some sort of footage of the fighters in question along with links to other footage where available. Sadly when a fighter does retire we won't be updating their information with their post boxing life or work, though if they become a promoter or come back into boxing then we will of course add to their profiles and include any extra information. We have split these profiles into several sub-categories that can be seen below. Of course the fighters will change between the categories as their careers progress, however we have tried to put them into the places that they fight best at the time of our latest update. |
