I am Uku Jürjendal, an Estonian professional kickboxer competing in the heavyweight division of GLORY Kickboxing. I’m proud of my powerful knockouts, especially my TKO victory over the legendary Badr Hari at GLORY 89 in 2023, which put me on the global stage. With a record of 20 wins out of 29 fights, including 16 knockouts, I’m determined to become the top heavyweight in the world.
Meet Uku Jürjendal, a 35-year-old Estonian heavyweight kickboxer who has taken the GLORY league by storm with his relentless drive and knockout power. His journey to becoming a top-tier athlete began as a child, when, at just eight years old, he laced up his shoes for athletics and discovered he could outrun his classmates. That early taste of victory ignited a competitive spark, pushing him to dedicate himself to training from a young age. By 16, Uku found his true passion in a kickboxing gym, where the raw intensity of the ring captivated him and set the course for his future.
Now a seasoned fighter, Uku’s career boasts standout achievements like his 2014 Muay Thai world championship title and a career-defining moment in 2023, when he knocked out kickboxing legend Badr Hari. Behind these victories lies a lifestyle of unwavering discipline—daily routines filled with rigorous training, ice baths, and meticulous planning keep him sharp and focused. For Uku, it’s all building toward one ultimate goal: claiming the GLORY heavyweight crown and cementing his legacy with a string of unforgettable knockouts against the division’s best.
