If surnames were allowed in Scrabble, his name on squares worth three times would have earned maximum points. More in any case than the number of his victories in his career. Because in a dictionary, Genadij Krajevskij could also have had his photo opposite the definition of the word “loser” or “loser”. The English boxer went down in history for having lost (almost) all his fights.
The Lithuanian boxer fought 76 fights during his career. He has lost… seventy-five and most of them by knockout throughout a career stretched from 2018 to 2024 across the four corners of the United Kingdom in small venues that smell of blood and sweat. The only fight he won was last February.
After 67 consecutive defeats, he beat Englishman Ryan Broten by judges' decision in Oldham, a suburb of Manchester. A convict of the rings, he entered the ring again 8 other times. The last time was on August 17 against the Englishman Levi Vaughan in Birmingham. There too, Genadij Krajevskij lost.
Originally from the Baltic countries, Genadij Krajevskij was best known in England where his journey as a magnificent loser affected the world of boxing. Nicknamed “the Baltic Bomber”, the boxer who lived in Liverpool had a real fan base. “He was a real warrior, an adorable guy,” insisted one of them on the networks.
Among these moments of glory, Genadij Krajevskij fought (and lost) against Tommy Fury, Tyson's brother in 2020. He died at the age of 37 on the night of December 8 to 9 at the age of only 37. The causes of his death are still unknown.
