Rise in the shadows

Kostas Maros

The story of someone who fought his way to the top from the bottom. He had one single goal: promotion. Ando Hakob is arguably the best boxer in Switzerland. One year after he started boxing, Hakob became Swiss champion. Because he lacks the money for fights, he provokes his dream opponents on Facebook in the hope that they will agree to a fight.
