01 / The beginning
A DIFFICULT
START.
Kishan’s early years were shaped by instability and life in shelters. Finding safety and a sense of belonging came long before thinking about a future in sport.
Those years left their mark. What followed was a difficult path, and choices he would later have to confront. His past is part of the story—but the change that followed began with deciding it would not be the whole story.
02 / A different direction
CHANGE TAKES
WORK.
The turning point was a decision to take responsibility for what came next. Building a different life meant discipline, sacrifice, and showing up for the people who mattered to him.
Becoming a husband and father gave that commitment a deeper purpose. Bare-knuckle boxing gave it a direction: a place to train, compete, and put the work into practice.
Progress became something to build through daily choices. The athlete’s journey and the personal journey began to move together.


03 / What he fights for
A LEGACY
BEYOND BELTS.
Fatherhood sits at the center of Kishan’s purpose. The example he sets for his sons matters alongside the athlete he is becoming. After losing both parents, he also carries their memory into the life he is building.
He hopes his journey can speak to people who feel defined by their past—to those trying to find direction, take responsibility, or begin again. That hope gives the fight a meaning that reaches beyond the result.
There is still work ahead. For The Silverback, moving forward means continuing to do it.
