• WMC Muaythai Against Drugs Singapore Winner 2006

Why him: He came a long way from being a chubby kid to where he is today.


Zach started training Muaythai at the age of 17. Initially picking up the sport only as a form of weightloss, as he weighed a hefty 90kgs as a kid. Coming from a notorious neighborhood and school, where fights broke out often, he decided that Muaythai would be the perfect sport for him.

Not only would he learn how to defend himself but because of the intensity of the training it would help him to lose weight at the same time. As he improved and progressed over the months, the only way he believed that he could really test the skills and knowledge he acquired from training, is by getting in the ring and fighting!

After a year of training, he represented Singapore at the IFMA World Championships, even though he lost his first fight due to a dislocated shoulder, the injury never set him back nor did it end his dream. Zach came back a stronger, better, smarter fighter by perfecting and making use of all his other weapons.

12 years down the road. Zach has now fought and won numerous fights around the world. Zach was also selected to be one of the 16 fighters on Mark Burnett's international hit reality TV Show, The Contender Asia, making him Singapore's most experienced and top professional middleweight fighter!!
