Career
Aussie is a firm fan favorite in the Netherlands due to his exciting style and knockout power, likened to a smaller version of fellow Dutch fighter Badr Hari. Biography/ Aussie began his career fighting on the local circuit in the Netherlands at C-Klass and B-Klass level, winning almost all his fights. In 2006 Aussie made his debut with the It's Showtime organization against Junior Gonsalves, sharing the spoils in a five round decision draw at the event in Alkmaar.
He returned to the organization the following year to take part in a qualifying tournament for the It's Showtime's 75MAX Trophy, defeating Henry Akdeniz in the quarter finals by decision but was unable to proceed due to an injury suffered during his victory. He added another belt the following year, beating the seasoned Imro Main by technical knockout to add the U.M.C. Dutch title to his repertoire. He then demolished in form Nieky Holzken in less than a minute to emerge as a major player on the It's Showtime circuit, earning himself a title shot for the organizations vacant 77MAX world title at the end of 2010.
The title fight was a fairly even affair, with Aussie well in it until the fourth round, when a toe from an Artem kick injured Aussie his eye, leaving him unable to continue. Perhaps drained from the weight cut, he was not his normal explosive self and was outclassed by Souwer who took a unanimous points decision victory. He will fight Mike de Snoo in Beverwijk, Netherlands on October 21, 2012, but by injury Mike de Snoo was replaced by Douli Chen who only fought 2 fights in the A-Classe.
Duoli Chen lost respectively against the experienced Moroccan Aussie with points. . He lost to Marc de Bonte by KO from a knee in round one at Glory 6: Istanbul in Istanbul, Turkey on April 6, 2013. His release from Glory was reported in February 2014, having gone 0-1 in the promotion.
