Early life

edit

Arber Bellegu was born on 11 November 2000 in Schlüchtern, Hessen, Germany. He is of Kosovo descent. He went to school in Wiesbaden and Offenbach am Main. At the age of 10 Bellegu became obese, and doctors recommended him to start practicing sports. He started to train initially in MMA, and then in boxing as a hobby at the age of 13.[3][4][5][6][7] His trainers included Enriko Kehl and Sheila Gaff, among others.[8] In 2017 he received an injury, which forced him to stop boxing for a while. At this time, he became a trainer and manager in kickboxing, MMA and boxing, becoming one of the youngest trainers/managers (at the age of 17) in the respective sports.[3][5][9]

Career

edit

After working as a trainer and manager for 2 years and establishing his training school, Bellegu was persuaded by his friends, family and his manager Avdyl Salihu to get into professional boxing. He made his professional debut on 12 December 2020, winning against Siddarth Pulapalli during a 30 seconds match which ended with a knockout.[5][10] Bellegu continued his winning streak for 13 consecutive matches, winning against each fighter by knockout or technical knockout.[11] His tenth match against Robin Hardrick won him the World Boxing Council Youth Silver Cruiser Title.[12]
