https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXz9TC5GSrQ
K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final,
Tokyo, Japan
---------------------------------------------------------
Tyrone Clinton Spong (born
September 3,
1985) is a Surinamese-Dutch kickboxer and mixed martial artist.
He is the reigning
WFCA Cruiserweight Muay Thai champion, current
Glory 95kg
Slam Champion and former
It's Showtime 95MAX
World champion, fighting out of
Fighting Factory Carbin in
Amsterdam, Netherlands.
As of 10 November 2014, Spong is ranked the #2 light heavyweight in the world by GLORY.
Early life
Tyrone Spong was born in
Suriname. In
1990 at the age of 5, he moved to the
Netherlands with his family.
Growing up in the
Bijlmer, he was often involved in street fighting and began training in kickboxing at thirteen when he found a gym by coincidence. After getting his "ass whooped" in his first day of training, he was motivated to improve.
He had his first match at fifteen and won by first round knockout. Some of his early sparring partners included
Alistair and
Valentijn Overeem, and Gilbert Yvel.

In
2006 Spong had two his biggest victories of his young career, KO wins over Muay Thai veteran
Joerie Mes and
two weeks later knocking out
K-1 superstar
Kaoklai Kaennorsing from
Thailand in a first round.
On March 28, 2009, Spong participated in the first ever K-1
Heavyweight (-100 kg)
Title tournament, held in
Yokohama, Japan.
He was beaten by
Gokhan Saki in semifinals by right hook KO of the extra round.
Spong finally met rival
Nathan Corbett at
Champions of Champions II in what was widely considered a battle between the two best Muay Thai fighters in the world at their weight class for the
W.M.C. world title -93 kg. The fight was a close affair with Spong knocking Corbett down on the second round only for it to end with a controversial decision
. In the third round Corbett managed to knock Spong out with a huge right hook causing the referee to stop the fight.
However, due to the referee's misleading hand signals, Corbett rushed back in to knock Spong down once more, not sure that the fight had been stopped.
After considerable confusion the fight was declared a no contest instead of a Corbett KO win.
After defeating the
Worlds heavyweight champion,
Kyotaro he fought
Jerome Le Banner in
April 2010.
Similar to the Nathan Corbett fight Spong broke his right hand in the first round and was knocked down.
Despite coming back strongly he lost by decision.
At the end of the year he qualified for the K-1 World Grand Prix 2010 Final, defeating veteran
Ray Sefo in an elimination match, only to lose to eventual winner Alistair Overeem at the quarter final stage in what was a more competitive fight than most initial thought - as Overeem was much the bigger fighter. At the start of
2011, Spong had to vacate the It's Showtime 95MAX world title due to a number of issues such as not having had a title defense in the allocated two years and his management stating that he had moved up in weight to fight as a heavyweight.
He faced
Remy Bonjasky at Glory 5:
London in
London, England on March 23,
2013. Spong won via one-punch KO with a right hook in the second round.
