Home>Who I am
I am Emanuel Odiase. I was born & raised in Germany, in a town called Heidelberg. Discover my story & see what drives me, on my journey to become world heavyweight champion, and one of the greatest to ever do it.
“I was born as the youngest of four sons to a German mother and a Nigerian father. From an early age, much of our life revolved around sports, specifically football. Every weekend, we were traveling to different games or tournaments. This made it clear to me from early on, that sports would play a central role in my life.
At 16, my oldest brother Dominique, who today manages my professional career alongside Florian Winter & 258MGT, took me to a boxing gym for the very first time. I had to learn to hold my own right away – without any introduction or classic boxing school, it went straight into sparring. I still vividly remember how, on my very first day at the Boxing Club Heidelberg, I had to step into the ring & start fighting. After a few months of intense training, I started dominating people in the ring, who had been boxing for years. That was when I first realized that I had a talent for it, and I decided to pursue a career as a boxer.
Today, a few years later, I stand here having shared the ring with some of the best heavyweight boxers of our time, and I was quite successful at that. Among other things, in 2021, I managed to impress during sparring with Anthony Joshua, two-time world heavyweight champion and now my manager, and made a name for myself in the boxing world. My goal is clear: I will become the undisputed heavyweight world champion. You can join me on this journey. One way or another, hopefully I’ll see you at the top.”
