The September 9 workout came after photos of him training alongside Ukrainian servicemen at the Spadkoyemets sports club in Kharkiv during a surprise visit with his mother were posted on the club’s account.

On his 17th birthday in 2025, he entered an IKF Point Muay Thai Technical competition and won a medal, with twin sister Vivienne and their mother in the crowd. Thai media has also reported that he visited fights and training camps in Thailand, and he’s worn shorts referencing Bangkok’s Rajadamnern Stadium.

At his June 2026 graduation from Fusion Academy, he announced: “Tonight, I’m gonna be fighting at Total Sonic Knockout 5 at 12:45 a.m., so catch me. I’m gonna knock ‘em the f— out!” Hours later, he traded punches and kicks in an exhibition bout at a downtown club event.
