The Doctor

A story of titles, sacrifices and resilience: over 24 years of professional career recounted through the voice of a world legend of kickboxing.

The talk will be moderated by Marcel Vulpis, The Daily Cage

Giorgio Petrosyan will be the protagonist of a special interview dedicated to his sporting and personal story, more than 24 years after the beginning of his professional career.

Regarded as one of the greatest exponents of world kickboxing, Petrosyan is internationally known by the nickname “The Doctor”, owing to his technical precision, his ability to read every opponent and a fighting style that is precise, clear-headed and surgical.

Born in Yerevan, Armenia, and having developed his sporting career in Italy, Giorgio Petrosyan has over time become an absolute point of reference in the world of combat sports. His career has led him to compete and triumph on the most prestigious stages in the world, claiming some of the most coveted titles in the discipline.

Among his most notable achievements are the two K-1 World MAX tournaments won consecutively in 2009 and 2010, the Glory Lightweight Slam Tournament Championship in 2012, and the ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix in 2019. These results have contributed to consolidating his image as a symbolic athlete, capable of combining talent, technique, tactical intelligence and outstanding discipline.

The interview will be an opportunity to retrace his journey: from his beginnings in combat sports to his major international successes, from the titles claimed to the challenges faced throughout a career built on sacrifice, resilience and absolute dedication.

Giorgio will recount not only the sporting dimension of his journey, but also the human one: the challenges, the injuries, the complex moments, the pressure of major competitions and the mindset required to remain at the top for over two decades.

His presence at RiminiWellness represents a moment of great significance for all enthusiasts of fighting, fitness and sporting culture: an opportunity to gain an in-depth insight into the story of an athlete who has defined an era and who continues to be a source of inspiration for fighters, sportspeople and new generations.
