For Reza, boxing began with mastering technique and becoming a stronger fighter — but it quickly grew into a practice that shaped his confidence inside and outside the ring. Over the past decade, it has helped him release stress, recharge, and stay grounded. What started as a passion is now his way to find calm and balance.

Nineteen years ago, he stepped into a local gym and instantly fell in love with boxing. In 2022, he earned his Dutch Boxing Federation certification and began training others, continuing the journey that has inspired him for nearly two decades. Born in the south of the Netherlands and raised in multicultural Rotterdam, his Surinamese roots are an important part of who he is.

Reza loves exploring new places — with Bali as his all-time favorite for its culture, food, and lifestyle. South America is high on his travel list. In Rotterdam, you’ll find him wandering through Noord, West, or the city center, enjoying drinks, food, or a night out. He loves Surinamese, Chinese, and Italian dishes thoug—when he fasts, savoring just one meal a day.
