Andreas Katzourakis is a Greek professional boxer. He is a former WBA Continental North American super-welterweight champion.

Amateur career

Katzourakis began competing in kickboxing at the age of five at the direction of his father, a former kickboxer.[1][2][3] After competing in hundreds of amateur bouts in kickboxing and point fighting at both the national and international level, Andreas turned full athletic attention to boxing at 15.[4][5] Katzourakis had a brief career as an amateur boxer in Greece. As an amateur, he won four Greek National Championships and finished with a combined record of 21–0 with 16 forced stoppages within his home country.[6]

Professional career

Katzourakis made his professional debut on 7 June 2018 at The Hangar in Costa Mesa, California, knocking out Chukwuka Willis in the first round of a scheduled four-round bout.[7] In his fourth professional fight, Katzourakis took on former world title challenger Walter Wright at Quiet Cannon Country Club in Montebello, California on 26 April 2019.[8] He won the six-round fight via unanimous decision.[9]

On 6 October 2022, Katzourakis took on veteran fighter Cameron Krael in Houston, Texas. Katzourakis won the fight via technical knockout after Krael's corner stopped the fight after five one-sided rounds.[10][11]

On 22 November 2024, he defeated WBA Continental North American super-welterweight champion Brandon Adams by split decision at Corey Studios at Corey Tower in Atlanta, Georgia, to win his first title as a professional.[12][13]

Katzourakis faced fellow unbeaten boxer Roberto Cruz Jr at Red Owl Boxing Arena in Houston, Texas, on 9 May 2025, winning via technical knockout in the seventh of their 10-round scheduled contest.[14][15]

After more than a year away from the competitive boxing ring, Katzourakis returned with a unanimous decision win over another previously undefeated fighter, Misael Rodríguez, at the Meta Apex in Enterprise, Nevada, on 10 May 2026.[16][17]
