Early years

Ng was born on 20 November 1994 on the Gold Coast in Queensland. His father, Stephen, was a successful amateur boxer who also held the Queensland State middleweight title as a pro. [2] [3] Ng spent much of his childhood at his father's gym, Matrix Boxing Gym, initially taking up Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of ten. [3] He competed in the sport nationally and internationally until the age of 18, [2] becoming a blue belt with four tips. [4]

Ng began boxing at the age of 15 and won a state amateur title before he started getting into trouble and partying. [2] His dad sent him to Thailand for a year to compete in Muay Thai, [2] where he compiled a professional record of 8–0–1 (8 KO). [4]

Professional career

Ng made his professional boxing debut on 24 June 2017, defeating Sam Williams via a fourth-round technical knockout (TKO) in Eatons Hill, Queensland. He went on a winning streak and closed out 2018 by winning the Queensland State and Australian lightweight titles with back-to-back TKO's of Mark Ramirez and Gaige Ireland, respectively. [3] [5] On 16 March 2019, Ng stopped Filipino prospect Glenn Enterino (14–4–1, 9 KO) in the sixth round for the vacant IBF Youth lightweight title. [2] Three months later, he won his fourth title in four fights when he defeated Mexican rival Ricardo Lara (19–5, 9 KO) by unanimous decision (UD) for the vacant IBF International lightweight title, [6] moving him into the top 15 of the IBF rankings. [7] He successfully defended the belt in September, dropping Spanish contender Pablo Fuego (15–4, 2 KO) three times en route to a fifth-round TKO finish. [8]

On 8 November 2019, Ng faced Kaewfah Tor Buamas for the vacant WBO Oriental lightweight title. He won the belt with a third-round TKO victory. [9] Now ranked #11 in both the IBF and WBO rankings, Ng was scheduled to defend both his IBF International and WBO Oriental titles against Japanese veteran Valentine Hosokawa (25–7–3, 12 KO) in March 2020. [10] However, the undefeated Australian pulled out due to injury [11] and the bout was further postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
