The new champion of BKFC Boxing Boxing Prize Bantamweight Dat Nguyen was born on October 10, 1982 in Bien Hoa, Dong Nai. When he was 8 years old, his mother decided to bring Dat Nguyen and his brothers and sisters to leave Vietnam to Hawaii, USA.
Dat Nguyen grew up in Hawaii and had many bare matches. He said “in society you must be really a tough person”. If the conflict climax, the fist is the most effective solution.
Growing up in difficult circumstances, Dat Nguyen was strong, a street gladiator before becoming a professional puncher.
In early 2004, Dat Nguyen decided to switch to professional competition and had the first victory over Ernest Scott puncher in the first half. In the professional boxing career from 2004 to 2017, Dat Nguyen had a pretty impressive achievement with 20 wins and 3 losses. From 2004 to 2007, he had 11 consecutive victories until he lost to the fist of Mexican Gregorio Torres.
In 2017, the technical knock-out victory over Miguel Flores was probably a memorable turning point for Dat Nguyen. Miguel Flores was at that time an unbeaten puncher, a person who won the right to fight with climbing Santa Cruz. It seemed like a person appearing just as a background for Flores, but Dat Nguyen made everyone surprised when he lowered his opponent in the 7th half.
The victory over Miguel Flores, Dat Nguyen had to make a list of boxers who would compete for the world championship, but the victory of the Vietnamese -born puncher was not in the plan of the “big” of the boxing village. Two years later, it was Flores who had the opportunity to compete for WBA's temporary championship.
At this time, Dat Nguyen's position was unclear in the boxing world. He had no one back to become a star, nor did he resign to pull out as the background, as a Green Army to sacrifice for other emerging fighters.
Therefore, no puncher is suitable with Dat Nguyen to the floor. His manager even went to the boss of the boxing boss Al Haymon – the person behind the success of Floyd Mayweather thanks to solving Dat Nguyen's problem but there was no solution.
Despite the very good performance with 20 wins and 3 losses on the professional boxing floor, Dat Nguyen's income is almost no number because there are no matches in two years.
Disappointed by not playing, he and his wife opened Miss Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant in the town of Vero Beach, Florida. Dat Nguyen was quite satisfied with his life as a restaurant owner. He used to think his martial arts career would end, fortunately, Mr. Feldman appeared and asked a bare boxing boxing match at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
Boxing bare is a sporty sport that is quite similar to boxing, except not to use gloves. This makes the bare boxing boxing be a more severe antagonistic sport.
Just participating in the boxing rights has not been long, Dat Nguyen has created a achievement of 3 wins and impressed with BKFC. Launching BKFC and fans of boxing hands from BKFC 8 in 2019, Dat Nguyen played very well in all 5 rounds with Travis Thompson and won his opponent with a score.
At BKFC 10 in 2020, Dat Nguyen left an unforgettable impression to the fans when he put a brutal knock-out of the puncher Abdiel Velazquez, causing blood to splash all over the stage in the second minute of the first half.
In the framework of the BKFC Knucklemania event held on February 5, 2021 in Miami, Dat Nguyen won a resounding victory at the name Johnny Bedford to become the new king of BKFC Bantamweight.
A few months later, due to the failure to reach a new contract agreement with BKFC, Dat Nguyen decided to give up the Bantamweight championship belt. With the absence of Dat Nguyen, BKFC let Johnny Bedford compete for the championship with Reggie Barnett and the result in favor of Johnny Bedford.
Recently, BKFC has confirmed that Dat Nguyen will return to the bare boxing tournament, in the immediate future, Dat Nguyen is now a Lightweight Championship match with a hybrid puncher between the US and Peru Luis Palomino at the BKFC 22 event on November 12.
Dat Nguyen often wears a conical hat in events to promote the image of Vietnam, Vietnamese people come to world friends. With the booming attack, the technical platform and the achievements, Dat Nguyen has become a prominent star of BKFC in particular and boxing of bare hands in general.
Dat Nguyen also said that after conquering the boxing floor of Tran, he would probably return to the boxing arena and even will advance to play MMA.
