When and why did you start training for fighting? Five years old. Dad was ex-Soviet Union no holds barred heavyweight champion, so naturally he passed on that knowledge to me. 

What professional titles have you held? Fight Star Championship LHW, 2-time world Cage Warriors champion

Any accomplishments in amateur combat sports? 2-time WCC MMA Light Heavyweight champion, 4 time British kickboxing champion [youth 10-14]

Any belts/ranks in grappling disciplines? Purple Belt BJJ

Any belts/ranks in striking disciplines? Black Belt GCSD

What has been your toughest fight to date and why? Michal Oleksiejczuk. He was a durable guy who was always in the fight and kept moving forward.

Who is your favorite fighter and why? My favorite fighter is Alex Periera. He transitioned from a completely different sport at an older age and still proceeded to become a 2 division UFC champion. His story is also inspirational, as he came from nothing. 

What was your job before you started fighting? Personal training, mobile phone exchange shop

Personal Life/Background: I was born in Lithuania, moved to the UK when I was 3 and spent 2 years in high school in Louisiana.
