Louis Greene

Louis Greene, known as “The Medway Mauler,” is an English professional boxer born on July 20, 1992, in Strood, Kent. Before turning professional, Greene had a strong amateur background. He represented England in international competitions, won the Haringey Box Cup in 2012 by stopping all three of his opponents, and was runner-up in the same tournament in 2013. He also reached the semi-finals of the ABA Championships twice and held the Kent welterweight title. He trained at Strood Boxing Gym, Eastern ABC, and Bodyshots in Crayford.

Greene made his professional debut on November 7, 2015, stopping Dan Naylor at York Hall. He captured the Southern Area welterweight title early in his career and gradually stepped up to higher levels of competition. In December 2018, he lost a unanimous decision to Larry Ekundayo for the IBF European welterweight title. In August 2020, he was stopped in the seventh round by Lewis Crocker in a bout for the WBO European title. He also came up short in a unanimous decision loss to Harry Scarff in March 2022 for the English welterweight belt.

Greene’s biggest achievement came in November 2022 when he stopped the previously undefeated Dean Sutherland in the fifth round to win the vacant Commonwealth super-welterweight title. He defended the title successfully in May 2023 with a sixth-round stoppage of Paul Kean. However, he lost the belt to Sam Gilley in October 2023 via unanimous decision in a highly competitive fight. Greene bounced back with a first-round knockout of Jack McGann on March 8, 2024, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou in Riyadh.

Connected to his hometown, Greene is known to be a strong supporter of Ipswich Town Football Club. His success has made him a relatable figure in the community—someone who reflects values. Fighters like Greene are helping usher boxing into a new era of entertainment, where stadiums traditionally reserved for football now serve as venues to celebrate homegrown talent, as seen with Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Portman Road, the home of Ipswich Town FC.

Louis Greene’s jab sets the pace, but it’s his body work—particularly left hooks to the ribs—that consistently breaks opponents down. His stoppage win over Ellis Corrie is a clear example of how he accumulates damage through steady pace. Greene’s most common sequences include a double jab into a right hand and uppercuts thrown off lateral pivots. These aren’t random combinations—they’re drilled movements. His right hand is one of his most dangerous tools, often referred to as a “fly swatter” for the way it shuts down opponents mid-motion. When Greene finishes an exchange, it’s deliberate, like a playwright taking a bow.

Greene’s high guard is more than just defense—it’s a disguise. That tight shell hides feints and creates constant uncertainty. Opponents often misread his positioning and movement, only to get clipped by looping shots or clean rights that land like a trap door snapping shut. He leans forward just enough to provoke reactions, then swerves into hooks or stiff jabs without losing form.

Much of Greene’s pressure mirrors the style of “Akoi”from Hajime no Ippo, who used a frog-like bounce and a coiled stance to launch compact. Like Akoi, Greene uses a high guard with tight elbows and a lowered stance that allows him to spring into range. But where Akoi was wild, Greene is more refined—measured in his presence, but no less dangerous.

Sparring with Conor Benn has further sharpened Greene’s style. These sessions are intense, swinging between full-speed barrages and moments of eerie calm where every movement matters. Benn brings an emotional, relentless energy—reminiscent of his father, Nigel “The Dark Destroyer” Benn—and learning to hold ground in that environment taught Greene how to decode pressure under fire. It wasn’t just about surviving the chaos but thriving.
