April 21, 2024, Raekwon Baas (FitBoyz 010) became South Netherlands Champion and won his third championship title in the Netherlands.
Raekwon Mo-A-Lee Baas was born and raised in Curaçao from a Surinamese mother, Palmira Baas-Sandvliet, and a Dutch father, Edwin Baas, of Baas Sports Curaçao.
Although Raekwon’s parents were very active in martial arts, they let Raekwon decide for himself which sport he wanted to do.
After Raekwon first played football/soccer and basketball, he decided mid-2019 to focus on boxing. Then the COVID-19 pandemic came, which meant that no official bouts were boxed for a long time.
Raekwon left for the Netherlands to study and trained at Hannes Schneider’s NSC (New Sport Challenge) Haarlem.
In May 2023 he boxed his first bout in The Netherlands and won this @ “Battle of The Best”.
June 2023 he became North Netherlands Champion.
In October 2023 Raekwon moved to Rotterdam and since then he has been training at FitBoyz 010 under the guidance of Rodney Ernst.
January 2024 he became Open South Netherlands champion (whole of the Netherlands including Belgium and Germany participating) and in April 2024 South Netherlands champion.
