About DonegiAbout Donegi 

Donegi Abena was born in Suriname in May, 1997.

Suriname is on the north-eastern coast of South America and shares a border with Guyana and Brazil. It is a former Dutch colony and as such, Surinamese citizens generally are fluent in Dutch and are able to move to the Netherlands if they wish.

That’s what Abena’s mother did when he was two years old, taking him, his brother and their sister to the Netherlands, where they settled in Utrecht. Things unfortunately did not progress smoothly though; when his mother became very ill, Abena and his siblings had to go and live in a children’s home.

Some years on, Abena was a very angry teenager. He was also big for his age and had a hair-trigger temper. The slightest provocation was enough to have him start swinging; violence was both a distraction and a release, as well as a means of asserting some sort of control on his environment.

By the time he was 15 his fighting proclivities worried some of his friends; they feared he would end up in jail or worse. Abena had been required to leave the children’s home because of his behavior and was living in a hostel for troubled teenagers.

He was prevailed upon to start training in kickboxing. He fell in love with it his first lesson and has never looked back. Abena is not yet a household name in the kickboxing world, but he plans to change that through his exploits in the GLORY ring.
