Phat Ho

Fighter profile of Phat Ho by Bjorn O'Donnel

Tokyo, January 1996: After a long and busy day at work, Ki Ho and Ma Pi decided to have a talk about the possiblity of getting a child.Ki Ho used to be a football player and had been victim of multiple nutshots in his short career, so they weren't sure if they would be able to get a child.
They tried multiple different things, but none of them seemed to work.
They tried it backwards, on the kitchen table, in the movie theatre and even in the school toilets were Ma Pi is a teacher, but they had no succes.

They nearly had no more hope left of ever getting a kid, and started thinking about adoption when all of a sudden,
Ki Ho heard from a collegue that eating a lot of tabasco helps improve fertility for a woman. After a two visits to the hospital, because appartently drinking a bottle of tabasco ad fundum isn't a good idea, they decided that a smaller portion of tabasco was perhaps a better idea.

Nine months later, the 14th of December 1996, a miracle came to life. Due to the fact that he was a bit heavy,
Ki Ho supposed it was a funny idea to call him Phat , after 'fat'. Ma Pi understood the joke and agreed. It was only after a hefty discussion at City Hall that they realised that Phat Ho has a meaning in English and that it isn't a nice one, judging by the face the woman at the office desk made after Ki called her Phat Ho.

In the end, papers were signed and they kept the name anyway. Phat had a difficult beginning of his life, because at a young age,
his father passed away.At age 7, he already was the man of the house and wasn't able to play around on the streets like the kids of his own age.
He had to do the laundry, help with cooking The young Japanese boy worked very hard to give his mother a good life, but it wasn't easy.

When he was old enough to go to school, he was often bullied because of his name.
The day that he came home beaten up were way more often than the days that he would be able to walk home in peace.
After another beatdown by some older students, he ended up in hospital with a broken nose, a fractured shin and an ear half ripped off.
The doctors were in shock when he came in, but they were able to get him back to full health again.
He decided that from that day on, nobody would be able any longer to mess with him.

He joined a Muay Thai gym and started kicking the heavybags until his shins seemed made out of iron.
He built up a fearsome reputation in the gym and by the time that he became an adult, big companies were already interested in sponsoring him.
When Phat Ho decided to go pro, he destroyed his opponent and won a very clear 30-26 decision.
The sponsor deals came flying in and in the end he accepted deals from two of the best and biggest stores in the world, being HGH Nutrients and Kaiser Nutrition

Because of those sponsordeals, he was able to afford some custom clothing and a membership at an excellent gym.
He is training with other young promising fighters and they are looking to learn everyone new tricks and become the best they can be.
Phat Ho is proud of his debut, but he will be kicking ass in the gym to prepare him for future battles.
He only has one wish and that is to make his daddy proud!
