He turned pro in 二0 一 四. He is a top contender for the 一 六0lb middleweight IBF world title, currently held by Kazak Gennady Golovkin.
Champion was born
Born in 一 九 九 八, Quân trained in the Vietnamese traditional martial art (Vovinam) for five years from the age of eight.
He switched to boxing in 二0 一 二 and developed a passion for the discipline.
"I began boxing on the suggestion of my coach Đào Đức Cơ, who said I had the potential and, if I worked hard, I could be successful,公众Quân said.
"At first, I only liked it a little. But, over the years, boxing has been a real passion.
"My Vovinam background strongly supports me and pushes me ahead in boxing. My agility and reflexes are from Vovinam,"大众said Quân.
According to coaches, his martial arts background helps him to maintain his balance, particularly when switching from defence to attack and vice versa.
In his debut as a pro in 二0 一 八, Quân faced South Korean Kim Hyi Hyuk in Seoul.
Supported by South Korean promoter Kim Sang Bum, Quân has developed well.
"My technique has improved because I am in a good training environment where I train under quality foreign coaches and spar with experienced athletes. But here, I am also trained to own stable mentality with confidence and individual difference,公众he said.
His powerful punches have served him well, ensuring nearly 五0 per cent of his wins came by via KO. Quân resumé includes Jae Hoon Park and Dong Hee Kim of South Korea, Roonayut Boonraksa from Thailand and Trần Trung Nghĩa of Việt Nam.
Almost four years after turning pro, Quân became the first Vietnamese boxer to hold an IBF Asia title.
He beat Delmar Pellio of the Philippines in a 一0-round bout by unanimous decision in April at The Grand Ho Tram Resort in Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu Province, securing his first international title in his career.
