With his last amateur bout behind him, Aryan is gearing up for his professional debut in BFC3 on July 30th in Guwahati, Assam. As the co-founder of SportiWe, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Aryan and his esteemed coach, Ishika Thite, to delve into their incredible journey.

Aryan: Oh, those early days were quite a roller coaster ride! I had my fair share of losses and even thought of hanging up my gloves. But you know what they say, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!” That’s exactly what I did. I took inspiration from the great fighters and found solace in my love for the sport.
Amey: It’s commendable how you bounced back, Aryan! And Ishika, as Aryan’s coach, how did you help him find his footing and transform into a winning fighter?
Ishika Thite: Well, Amey, when Aryan first joined The Dojo, he was full of potential, but he needed guidance and nurturing. We worked on refining his technique and instilled discipline in his training. Our secret ingredient was an extra dose of humor and motivation! Keeping the mood light yet focused helped him unleash his true potential.
Amey: Humor and motivation, that’s an awesome combo! So, Ishika, what makes Aryan stand out as a fighter, and what sets him apart from the rest?
