Born in Germany and raised in a small village deep in Bavaria, Ben Bakic discovered his passion for boxing at an early age. While other kids were still figuring out their hobbies, Ben already had one clear goal: to become a professional boxer. At just 12 years old, he stepped into the ring and never looked back.

Throughout his amateur career, Ben fought in over 70 official bouts and participated in more than 200 competitive sparring matches in the light heavyweight division. His commitment, discipline, and raw talent quickly made him stand out. Everything in his life revolved around the sport, and the path to becoming a pro was the only direction he saw.

However, a series of injuries repeatedly disrupted his rhythm and progress. Despite his relentless drive, Ben had to end his active career at just 19. But rather than stepping away from the sport, he chose to give back in a different way — as a coach.

Ben transitioned into training, building a reputation as a highly respected and effective coach. He prepared both amateur and professional fighters for competition, instilling in them the same fire, focus, and fighting spirit that had defined his own journey.

In 2020, he fully embraced the professional boxing world, guiding his athletes to compete on the global stage. The move from amateur to professional wasn’t just a career shift — it was the beginning of a new chapter fueled by passion and purpose.

Then, in June 2025, Ben took his biggest leap yet by launching his own promotion: G.O.A.T – Greatest of All Time. With G.O.A.T, he aims to reshape the boxing scene, give rising talents a powerful platform, and create events that inspire the next generation of champions.

Today, Ben Bakic is more than a former fighter. He is a visionary, a mentor, and a relentless force in the world of boxing. His mission is far from over — in fact, it’s only just beginning.
