Career

Early career

Grigorian rose to prominence as a young fighter with an extensive record in his adopted country of Belgium. In perhaps the most notable bout of his early career, he featured as a reserve fighter at the S-Cup Europe 2008 in Gorinchem, Netherlands on September 20, 2008 where he defeated Abdallah Mabel by decision.[1][2][3]

On February 21, 2009 he defeated Pedro Sedarous via decision after five rounds to claim the Benelux Muay Thai -70 kg Championship. He debuted in the It's Showtime organization later that year when he defeated Chris Ngimbi by an extra round decision at It's Showtime 2009 Lommel on September 24.[4][5] He followed this up with a technical knockout win over Seo Doo Won at It's Showtime 2009 Barneveld on November 21, 2009.[6][7]

2010

Grigorian competed in the eight-man grand prix at the K-1 World MAX 2010 West Europe Tournament held in Utrecht, Netherlands on March 21, 2010. He defeated Bruno Carvalho and Anthony Kane by decision in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, respectively, before losing via a second round KO to Mohamed Khamal in the final.[8] Following this, he went 2-0 throughout the rest of the year, with decision wins over Henri van Opstal and Alessandro Campagna.

2011

He began 2011 with a decision win over Henri van Opstal on February 12, 2011. Following a disqualification loss to Gino Bourne on March 19, 2011, he rebounded with a first-round KO of Lahcen Ait Oussakour on April 9, 2011 before being invited to take part in the eight-man grand prix at BFN Group & Music Hall presents: It's Showtime "Fast & Furious 70MAX", which was held in Brussels, Belgium on September 24, 2011. At the quarter-finals stage, he was drawn against veteran Dutch fighter Andy Souwer and was able to take him to an extra round, after which he lost a close split decision.[9]

2012

He was scheduled to face Chahid Oulad El Hadj at It's Showtime 2012 in Leeuwarden on January 28, 2012 but El Hadj pulled out due to an injury and Grigorian was instead set up with a rematch against It's Showtime 70MAX Champion Chris Ngimbi in a non-title fight. He put in a spectacular performance against the Congolese Muay Thai fighter, picking him apart before forcing the referee to stop the fight due to a cut in round two.[10]

On September 21, 2012, Grigorian won his first bout as a professional boxer when he took a unanimous decision over Hovhannes Kishmiryan in Antwerp.[11]

2013

Next up for Grigorian is a match with Juanma Chacon at Enfusion Live: Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain on March 9, 2012.[12]
