Highly rated light heavyweight Gradus Kraus has signed a long-term promotional agreement with BOXXER as he looks to accelerate his rise toward world-level contention. The 24-year-old Dutchman brings a 9-0 record with eight knockouts and joins the company on the back of the biggest win of his professional career.
Kraus most recently headlined in Rotterdam, where he delivered a dominant performance to stop Rostam Ibrahim inside two rounds and capture the IBF European light heavyweight title. Trained by Albert Krause and Peter Fury and co-managed by Mick Hennessy and Izzy Asif, he has built momentum quickly, pairing explosive power with growing visibility as a fan favourite.
Beyond his in-ring performances, Kraus has drawn attention for his distinctive ring walks, often dancing to the ring alongside his daughter, which has generated millions of views on social media. His credentials also include an amateur victory over two-time Olympic gold medallist Arlen Lopez.
With BOXXER’s backing, Kraus plans to push toward major fights in the light heavyweight division, with ambitions to compete on big shows in the UK while also bringing high-profile boxing events back to the Netherlands. His stated goal is clear: to collect world titles and become undisputed champion.
