Jean Kosobutsky, is a professional boxer from Kazakhstan who was born on November 13, 1988 in Arkalyk, Kostanay region, and has Belarusian roots. He competes in the heavy weight category and holds the honorary title of international master of sports in his country. In 2013, he won a silver medal at the Universiade and was recognized three times as the champion of Kazakhstan in amateur boxing. As part of his professional career, he became the owner of champion titles in versions WBA International и WBC International Silver.
Young years
From a young age, boxing was a constant presence in the life of Jean Kosobutsky thanks to his father Sergei Kosobutsky. Sergei himself competed in amateur boxing, but never realized his dream of becoming a master of sports of the USSR. He was determined to achieve this dream through his son and began training Jean at an early age. Jean's achievements eventually exceeded even his parents' hopes.
Jean was born in the remote Kazakh town of Arkalyk, located near the landing site of the returning cosmonauts. Jean's childhood unfolded against the backdrop of the wide-open steppe, far from the glitz and glamor often associated with elite athletes. However, from an early age, his only pursuit was the ancient art of boxing, honed by the strict training regimes instilled by his father - grueling pursuits that instilled the values of unyielding discipline, relentless determination and unwavering endurance.
Despite his boxing activities, Jean did not neglect his studies. After graduating from high school, he entered the Kostanay State Pedagogical Institute, where he received a specialty in “Physical education, sports and tourism.”
Family
Jean Kosobutsky remains detached - boxing takes up a significant part of his time, but this does not mean that he completely avoids the company of women. Journalists once almost caught him on vacation with a girl on the beaches of Tobol, a city near Kostanay. To build endurance, Jin enjoys long swims in cold water, even if the weather is not ideal.
Gene's physique is not only a result of his boxing training: he also credits the physical labor of working on the family farm for developing his muscular physique. His favorite pastime is spending hours chopping wood. And fresh, natural farm produce provides healthy nutrition.
However, not everything was smooth sailing for Jean. There were rumors of alcohol abuse involving him and his father, which they vehemently denied. He also faced accusations of indiscipline from national team coaches for missing training camps, but his father defended him, explaining that Jean only missed one training camp when he was busy preparing for college exams. This incident in 2010 cost Zhan a place in the Kazakhstan team at the Asian Games, where his compatriot Vasily Levit competed instead of him in the up to 91 kg category.
Boxing career
At age 21, Jean Kosobutsky's tenacity and skill led him to early success in the adult boxing world. His thrilling rivalry with fellow Kazakh Vasily Levit at the 2009 and 2010 Kazakhstan Championships demonstrated Kosobutsky's resilience - after a narrow defeat in 2009, he came back the following year with a convincing 11-1 win to claim the national title.
After this, Kosobutsky's personal journey became even more inspiring. Undaunted by the move up to heavyweight in 2011, he earned a bronze medal and then dominated the division in 2012 and 2013, becoming a three-time Kazakhstan champion. Despite missing out on the 2012 Olympics, Kosobutsky turned his disappointment into triumph by stunning 2011 world champion Magomedrasul Medzhidov at a tournament in Minsk.
Recognizing his son's unwavering spirit, Kosobutski's father helped him advance his career in 2015. Setbacks, such as a failed contract with the United States, only strengthened the boxer's resolve, and he soon found a loyal ally in Russian promoter Vladimir Khryunov.
Kosobutsky's professional career blossomed with spectacular knockouts and title triumphs. From his debut in 2017 in Belarus to winning the IBO, WBA and WBC international titles in subsequent years, the Kazakh fighter's story has been one of resilience, skill and an unbreakable will to succeed, no matter what. His journey is a testament to the power of persistence in achieving your dreams.
