BIOGRAPHY
Charlie Leonardo was born in the lower class of Wellington, and took up kickboxing as a way to escape falling into a life of crime, as a young man, but when his coaches noticed great potential in him, he quickly became their star pupil, and had his first amateur fight at just 16 years old. Although he never went pro in Kickboxing, an amateur record of 24-2-1 proved to be enough for Charlie to win a couple of national level tournaments.
He watched as MMA began to grow in popularity in his home country, and now looks to apply his kickboxing skills, in the MMA realm. He has been cross training in various aspects of the sport for over a year, and now he, and his coaches, feel that the "Wellington Wrecking Machine" is ready to give Mixed Martial Arts a go!
