Biography and career

Van Roosmalen made it to the Semi-Finals of the K-1 World MAX West Europe Tournament by beating Henri van Opstal in the Quarter-Final. He lost his Semi-Final bout against the eventual winner Mohammed Khamal by KO.[2]

After losing another fight against Ajay Balgobind, Van Roosmalen rebounded by knocking out Dutch slugger William Diender with a liver punch and beating the highly regarded Dutch-Moroccan Chahid Oulad El Hadj by decision. On the 21st of May, 2011, Van Roosmalen met Mohammed Khamal in a rematch in Amsterdam. He lost the match by judges' decision.

On the 25th of September, 2011, Van Roosmalen won the It's Showtime "Fast & Furious 70MAX" title in Brussels. He beat Chahid Oulad El Hadj for the 2nd time by TKO in the second round, Chris Ngimbi by decision and Artur Kyshenko by KO in the first round. Van Roosmalen had entered the tournament as a replacement for 70MAX giant Giorgio Petrosyan, who had injured himself in his fight against Hinata, and was seen as an underdog to win the tournament over the more highly ranked and experienced Artur Kyshenko.

In addition to his kickboxing training, van Roosmalen also holds a black belt in judo.[3]
