Early life

His most viewed sparring video on YouTube has over half a million views as he was known as "The Taekwondo Kid" at the time, being invited to Kukkiwon several times for promoting the sport and being considered a prodigy by them.[3] Later on, he won the bronze medal at the 2015 European Cadets Championship for Denmark.[4]
