Mastering the
Art of Boxing
Chris “2Slick” Kongo, born on December 23, 1992, in Bermondsey, South East London, is one of the most exciting and skilled boxers in the welterweight division today. Standing at an imposing 6’1”, Chris has used his height, reach, and sharp boxing IQ to dominate opponents and claim some of the sport’s most coveted titles. Currently the IBO Intercontinental Champion, Chris has also held the WBO Global Championship and the WBC International Silver Championship during his remarkable career.
Chris’s introduction to boxing was deeply rooted in family. Inspired by his older brothers, Elvis and Obed, who trained at the Fisher Boxing Club, Chris first stepped into the gym as a curious child. At 8 years old, he was drawn more to the youth club and learning center housed in the same facility, but it wasn’t long before the allure of the gloves and punching bags captured his attention. By 11, Chris had his first amateur fight, a milestone that marked the beginning of a journey that would see him rise to national and international prominence.
As an amateur, Chris’s talents quickly became undeniable. He became a three-time National Champion under England Boxing and was selected to join Team GB from 2013 to 2015, representing his country onthe global stage. His foundation as an amateur laid the groundwork for an explosive professional career, where his defensive prowess and backfoot boxing style earned him the nickname “2Slick.”
Chris has faced and triumphed over some of the toughest names in the sport. Memorable victories in title fights against Luther Clay, Sebastian Formella, and Florian Marku cemented his reputation as a fighter who rises to the occasion. Along the way, he has also shared the ring with elite contenders such as Michael McKinson and Ekow Essuman, consistently showcasing his resilience, strategic brilliance, and unyielding determination. Training at the Ben Davison Performance Centre in Harlow, UK, Chris works under the expert guidance of coaches Barry Smith, Ben Davison, and Lee Wylie. Together, they continue to refine his skills and prepare him for his ultimate dream: becoming a three-weight world champion.
Beyond his accomplishments in the ring, Chris is committed to giving back to his community. As a Millwall Community Trust ambassador, he works to inspire and support local youth, using his platform to emphasize the importance of discipline, hard work, and self-belief. When he’s not training or competing, Chris enjoys exploring the world, relaxing with close friends and family, and embracing life’s simple joys.
Anchored by his faith and personal mantra, “Not my time, not your time, but in God’s time,” Chris approaches every challenge with unwavering confidence and patience. His story is a testament to his belief that success is as much about timing and preparation as it is about talent.
With an ever-growing fan base and a dedication to excellence, Chris “2Slick” Kongo is poised to leave an indelible mark on the sport of boxing. Follow his journey as he continues to rise through the ranks, proving time and time again that with faith and hard work, greatness is inevitable.
