Harut Grigorian (born March 24, 1989) is an Armenian-Belgian kickboxer who competes in the middleweight division. Having competed in the It's Showtime, K-1 and Shootboxing promotions, he holds notable victories over Alessandro Campagna, Abdallah Mabel and Chris Ngimbi.

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]

2017

Grigorian suffered a controversial knockout blow to Murthel Groenhart in their rematch at Glory 42 Paris. He inexplicably turned his head away from Groenhart after getting kneed on the face which seem to have left him a little dazed, confused, and shocked. With his back turned to Groenhart looking to get out of the ring, Groenhart took that opportunity to end the fight by delivering the knockout punch to Grigorian from behind shocking the crowd and drawing anger from 3 Grigorian fans who invaded the ring and punch Groenhart hurting the fighter. There was chaos in the ring till trainers from both sides as well as officials break up the brawl with Grigorian still lying dazed with a deep cut over his eye. Groenhart later console Grigorian and they seemingly made up with Groenhart planting a kiss on Grigorian face. This led to speculation that a third grudge match between the two rivals is very possible.
