Inspired by Muhammad Ali’s words, “I hate every minute of training, but I won’t give up,” I have dedicated my life to boxing and martial arts with relentless perseverance. Born and raised in Karnataka, India, I was introduced to boxing at the age of 8 by my father, an acclaimed boxer and my greatest mentor. My journey began at the Sports Authority of India, where I trained rigorously and soon made a name for myself, impressing coaches and peers alike.

However, life took a drastic turn with the untimely death of my father, forcing me to quit boxing. For six years, I led a regular life as a full-time trainer in Bangalore, until my passion was reignited by watching mixed martial arts on TV. I resumed training, and after intense preparation at the Royal Kickboxing Academy under coach Sathya, I made a triumphant return to the ring.

Today, I am a national champion once again, representing Karnataka and India in boxing and mixed martial arts, and eagerly preparing for international championships.
