Amateur career edit
Katzourakis began competing in kickboxing at the age of 5 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 4 Greek National Championships and finished with a combined record of 21–0 with 16 forced stoppages within his home country.[6]

Katzourakis made his professional debut in 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 only his fourth professional fight, Katzourakis took on former World Title challenger Walter Wright in Montebello, California.[8][9] Katzourakis won this fight via unanimous decision, sweeping the scorecards over 6 rounds.[10] In October 2022, Katzourakis took on veteran fighter Cameron Krael in Houston, Texas.
