Geraldo Holzken: “I Will Make my Father Proud!”

In this spontaneous interview filmed at Bangla Stadium in Phuket, Thailand, I speak with undefeated professional boxer Geraldo Holzken (2-0), the son of legendary Dutch kickboxer Nieky Holzken. Geraldo was in Phuket on vacation when we unexpectedly crossed paths and decided to record this honest and open conversation. We discuss: • What it feels like to grow up as the son of a world-famous fighter • Whether there is pressure that comes with carrying the Holzken name • Why Geraldo chose professional boxing instead of kickboxing, despite coming from a strong Dutch kickboxing background • His fighting style and how he describes himself as a boxer • His goals for the next five years • His thoughts on his father’s recent retirement from professional fighting Geraldo speaks openly about identity, ambition, expectations, and carving out his own path in combat sports. This is a raw and authentic interview from Phuket, Thailand — a global hub for combat sports and fight culture. If you follow boxing, kickboxing, or the next generation of fighters coming out of the Netherlands, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Let me know in the comments: Do you think Geraldo Holzken will surpass his father’s legacy? #fighter #talent #prospect #boxing #netherlands
