Timeline

1965

Ernesto Frits Hoost (born 11 July 1965) is a Dutch retired professional kickboxer.

A four-time K-1 World Champion, Hoost is considered to be one of the greatest kickboxers of all time.

1983

In 1983, he had his first match against Wim Scharrenberg, which he won by knockout in the second round.

1988

From 1988, his career accelerated, winning several European and world titles in Savate and Muay Thai.

He quit his job as a sports teacher for alternative punished youngsters to focus on his career as a professional fighter.

In the K-1 Grand Prix '93, the inaugural K-1 World Grand Prix, Hoost defeated Peter Aerts by decision in the quarterfinals, knocked out Maurice Smith in the semifinals, and advanced to the tournament final where he was knocked out by Branko Cikatic.

1993

Hoost got another shot at a title on 19 December 1993, when he won the K-2 World Championship, knocking out Changpuek Kiatsongrit in four rounds.

This was the only time the K-1 organisation held a K-2 tournament.

1995

Hoost reached the K-1 World Grand Prix Finals again in 1995, but lost to Peter Aerts by a four-round decision.

He went on to win every fight the remainder of that year.

1996

In 1996, he lost at the K-1 World Grand Prix 1996 finals to Andy Hug by a five-round split decision.

1997

He finally became K-1 World Champion in 1997 when he beat Hug by a three-round unanimous decision.

1998

Hoost was unable to defend his title at the K-1 World Grand Prix 1998 tournament, being technically knocked out in the quarterfinals by Australian Sam Greco due to being unable to start the 3rd round after a cut above his left eye; he was mostly dominated in the fight by Greco.

1999

In 1999, Hoost won his second K-1 World Grand Prix title, beating Mirko Cro Cop by technical knockout in the third round.

2000

On 23 April 2000, Hoost avenged his loss to Greco when he beat him by a technical knockout.

Hoost retained the K-1 World Grand Prix Championship title for third time in 2000 by defeating Ray Sefo.

By then, many K-1 fans were hoping for a meeting between Hoost and Bob Sapp.

2001

Hoost returned to defend his crown in 2001 defeating Stefan Leko.

However, he was forced to retire from the tournament due to an injured shin before the semi-finals.

2002

The highly anticipated fight with Bob Sapp came at the K-1 World Grand Prix 2002 final elimination.

Sapp won by technical knockout in the first round after the doctor stopped the match on cuts.

Despite the loss he was again matched up with Sapp in the quarter-finals of the K-1 World Grand Prix 2002.

After trading knockdowns with Sapp in first round, Hoost lost again in a wild slugfest when referee Nobuaki Kakuda declared a KO while Hoost was still standing, but after the fight, Sapp turned out to have broken his hand and suffered four cracked ribs, and wasn't able to continue, allowing Hoost to replace him in the semi-finals.

Hoost beat Ray Sefo in first round by TKO, after Sefo damaged his shin against Hoost's kneecap.

Hoost proceeded to his fifth K-1 Finals, and was matched up against Jerome Le Banner.

The fight was clearly in Le Banner's favour up until the third and final round when Le Banner injured his arm blocking Hoost's kick.

Hoost aggressively attacked the arm again, forcing Le Banner down with only 94 seconds left in the match, winning by TKO and his fourth Grand Prix Championship.

Le Banner suffered a severe compound fracture, putting him out of competition for over a year.

2003

In 2003, Hoost would continue his feud with Bob Sapp in another arena of combat sports, professional wrestling.

At AJPW's 2nd WRESTLE-1 event held in the Tokyo Dome, Hoost would defeat Sapp after delivering a chair shot and slap to the back of the head which led to a schoolboy pin.

In addition to his Grand Prix titles Ernesto Hoost fought a number of Super fights.

2004
