Bay Ridge Boxer Sebastian Mazeneth Scores KO Victory In Greenland

BROOKLYN, NY — A Bay Ridge boxer making his international debut in Greenland scored a knockout victory last weekend.

The boxing match, in Greenland’s capital city of Nuuk on May 4, saw Sebastian Mazeneth, 21, knock out Mads Bejder Christensen in two rounds.

“It was a great experience and honor fighting in front of the people of Greenland. It was my first time fighting without headgear and on the world stage. It felt great to make a statement with this win,” Mazeneth said.

The 21-year-old dropped his opponent four times - once in the first and then three more times in the second - to force the stoppage.

The College of Staten Island student is being trained by Ryan Songalia and Argenis Arce. Mazeneth, who was born in Barranquilla, Colombia, played football at Fort Hamilton High School before turning to boxing.

Mazeneth will now turn his attention to the New York Boxing Tournament, which is scheduled to begin in July.
