Life

[edit]

Vít Král was born on 22 March 1992 in Brno. He was a student of the Ludvík Daňek Sports High School.[1] In his childhood, he was first involved in football. He has doing boxing since he was ten years old.[2] His coach was his father Vít Král Sr., former champion of Czechoslovakia.[2] As an extraordinary talent, he was able to box thanks to a Czech boxing association exemption at the Czech Senior Championships (men), where he fought for the first time at the age of fifteen,[1] but was defeated on points in the 57 kilograms (125.66 pounds) category.[3]

However, an injury[4] to his right wrist (fracture of the scaphoid ) and a dislocated shoulder limited the promising development of his career. He had three operations[5] related to his injuries. After healing these injuries, he bounced back by winning the Czech Republic men's championship in 2012.[6] He also boxed in the Czech national tournament for the Prostějov boxing club DTJ Prostějov[7][8] and Rohovník Armex Děčín.[2] After finishing his active career, he has been coaching and working with young boxers. He works as a coach in the Kometa Boxing Brno club. Among his charges is also Jindřich Janečka.
