Biography

Born on February 11, 1988, in France, Franck Petitjean has carved a niche for himself in the world of professional boxing. Competing in the super lightweight division, Petitjean's southpaw stance has been a challenge for many of his opponents. With a professional career spanning over 13 years, he has showcased his prowess in the ring with a commendable record.

Petitjean's journey in the boxing world has seen its fair share of highs and lows. His most recent victory was against Samuel Molina on June 10, 2023, where he triumphed with a majority decision. However, not all battles have ended in his favor. In a bout against Enock Poulsen on April 21, 2022, Petitjean faced a unanimous decision loss. Despite the setbacks, his resilience and determination have never wavered. Over the years, he has faced and defeated several formidable opponents, including Aleksandre Gamqrelidze, Kakha Avetisiani, and Andrea Scarpa, to name a few.

Currently residing in Clichy, Hauts-de-Seine, France, Petitjean is gearing up for his next fight against the undefeated Adam Azim, scheduled for November 18, 2023. As fans eagerly await this showdown, they reminisce about Petitjean's past victories and the legacy he continues to build in the boxing world.

Technical Overview

Franck Petitjean fights with animal instinct—raw, unfiltered, and full of tension. Even when hurt, there’s no backstep in his soul. He doesn’t want the mercy. If caught clean, all it does is awaken something ancient. Petitjean will either fall right there or come back dragging his opponent into the fire with him. That’s the mindset. That’s the bite.

His style is rooster-born—high-necked pride, chest out, feet clawing for ground. The jab hits like a beak—sharp, interruptive, and thrown with bad intentions. It’s not for measuring, it’s for checking the chin. Footwork stays gritty, never graceful. It scrapes. Petitjean shifts low bursts forward without warning, like an animal leaping for prey. Each step dares a response.

Power comes from bone and grit, not just the gym. The punches are pit-born—no telegraph, just snap, snap again. Hooks stay tight. Uppercuts rise like claws from the floor. Combos burst suddenly, breaking rhythm, testing resolve. There’s no dance—just pressure.

Even on defense, there’s no escape plan. Blood or bruises don’t send him back—they pull him closer. He moves through pain like it’s fuel, trapping fighters in a space where survival demands answers. Not trying to win clean. Trying to find out what’s left in a man once everything else breaks.

Some nights, he’s more than a rooster. He’s the jaguar in the bush—quiet, twitching, ready to pounce. A low-to-the-ground hunter who doesn’t waste a step. Petitjean fights like nature intended—cornered, defiant, dragging instinct into every exchange.
