PETROSYAN
BROTHERS
MEET THE
DOCTOR
Born Gevorg Petrosyan in Yerevan, Armenia, on December 10, 1985, Giorgio Petrosyan's story is one of extraordinary resilience. He emigrated to Italy at thirteen, arriving illegally with his father and brother, initially living homeless in Milan before finding stability in Gorizia. Inspired by Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme, he began training Muay Thai at fourteen — and was initially turned away for being too small.
He persisted. By sixteen, he had his first professional fight. By his mid-twenties, he was the undisputed best kickboxer on the planet.
Nicknamed "The Doctor" for his surgical precision, Petrosyan is celebrated for supreme technical skill, masterful defensive ringsmanship, and an ability to dismantle the world's best strikers while absorbing minimal damage. His six-year, 42-fight undefeated streak remains one of the most dominant reigns in combat sports history.
With a career record of 109 wins, 43 by knockout, and only 3 losses across 116 professional bouts, Giorgio Petrosyan is widely regarded as the greatest kickboxer of all time.

Co-Instructor
ARMEN PETROSYAN
7× World & International Champion · 70 Career Wins · ONE Championship Veteran
Armen Petrosyan is an Armenian-born Italian kickboxer and world champion who has spent over two decades competing at the highest levels of Muay Thai and K-1 kickboxing. Born in Yerevan and raised in Gorizia, Italy, Armen followed his older brother Giorgio into martial arts — and built an elite career entirely on his own merits.
With 70 wins (27 by KO) across 94 professional bouts, Armen has captured seven world and international titles, including the ISKA World Championship (which he defended three times), the WMTA World Title, and the WKU World Title. He competed on the global stage in ONE Championship, the world's largest martial arts organization.
Known for his explosive aggression, relentless pressure, and devastating close-range combinations, Armen represents the instinctive, attacking dimension of Petrosyan striking — a perfect complement to Giorgio's surgical precision. He also co-founded Team Tsunami Petrosyan in Milan and promotes the PetrosyanMania fight series in Italy.
Became WPKC Italian Muay Thai Champion — his first national title
Won MTA European Championship, establishing himself as a top European contender
Back-to-back wins over Vuyisile Colossa & Dzhabar Askerov; broke into world top 10
Defeated Yoshihiro Sato (Giorgio's K-1 World MAX final opponent); rose to #9 world ranking
Won Haarlem Fight Night IV 8-man tournament (3 fights in one night) → WMTA World Champion
Won ISKA World Championship & ISKA European Title; began 3-year title reign
Added WKU World Title; successfully defended ISKA belt for the third time
Competed in ONE Championship (world's largest martial arts org) on the global stage
Together we are really strong because you never feel alone, and you are always covered. When one goes forward, the other watches his back, and that is the real force that we have.
ARMEN — A CAREER DEFINED BY POWER
SURGICAL
PRECISION
Petrosyan is the Floyd Mayweather of kickboxing — technically perfect, almost impossible to hit cleanly.
Widely regarded as the greatest kickboxer of all time.
The Doctor's ability to control distance and timing is simply unmatched in the history of the sport.

The YouTube and social distribution changes the value calculus significantly. This isn't a one-day sponsorship — it's a content partnership with compounding reach. Every view the instructional series earns after the event is continued exposure for every partner at every tier. That's a strong pitch, especially for equipment and apparel brands who benefit from being seen on the mat in training footage.
