Peter Aerts fights are some of the best heavyweight kickboxing you can watch. Known as “The Dutch Lumberjack,” he is one of the greatest heavyweight kickboxers in history. He won the K-1 World Grand Prix three times, in 1994, 1995 and 1998, and he was the first fighter to do it.
Aerts stood about 6-foot-3 and fought at around 240 pounds. He was famous for his high kicks, and he could finish a fight with either leg. His official fan club lists his kickboxing record as 106 wins, 79 by knockout, with 35 losses and 2 draws.

In this post:
From Soccer to Kickboxing
Peter Aerts was born on October 25, 1970, in Eindhoven, Netherlands. He played soccer for seven years as a boy.
His grandfather and an uncle were into combat sports, and that got him interested too. He started Taekwondo in 1983, then switched to kickboxing under Mikki Benazzouz.
He had his first pro fight in 1985, when he was still a young teenager.
Chakuriki Gym and “The Dutch Lumberjack”
In 1989, Aerts moved to The Champs gym in Eindhoven to train under Eddy Smulders. In 1990, at 19, he won the IKBF World Heavyweight title.
In 1991, he joined the famous Chakuriki Gym in Amsterdam under Thom Harinck. That year he stopped Mark Russell in the first round in Aruba. Russell’s trainer called Aerts “The Dutch Lumberjack,” and the name stuck.
Later in 1991, he beat Frank Lobman by unanimous decision to win the WMTA World Heavyweight Muay Thai title. By 1993, he was one of the best heavyweights in Europe.
Peter Aerts’ Three K-1 World Grand Prix Titles
The K-1 World Grand Prix was the biggest kickboxing tournament in the world. The quarterfinals, semifinals and final all happened on the same night, so a champion had to win three fights in one evening.
1994: At 23, Aerts knocked out Rob van Esdonk and Patrick Smith. Then he beat Masaaki Satake by unanimous decision in the final.
1995: He knocked out Toshiyuki Atokawa in the first round. He beat Ernesto Hoost after an extra round. In the final, he dropped Jérôme Le Banner with a Rear Straight to the body just 1 minute and 37 seconds into the fight. That made him the first two-time K-1 World Grand Prix Champion.
1998: This was his best night. He stopped Satake with knees from the Thai Clinch and stopped Mike Bernardo after two knockdowns. In the final, he knocked out Andy Hug with a Lead High Kick after just 1 minute and 10 seconds.
He won the whole 1998 tournament in 6 minutes and 43 seconds of fighting. It was the fastest Grand Prix win in K-1 history at the time.
His Greatest Rivals
Aerts fought the best heavyweights of his time, many of them more than once.
- Ernesto Hoost: six fights, from 1988 to 2014. Hoost won four of them. See all of Hoost’s fights here.
- Mike Bernardo: six fights. Aerts won the first and the last two.
- Andy Hug: four fights. Each man won two, and Aerts won the last one.
- Jérôme Le Banner: Aerts knocked him out twice, in 1995 and 1997. Le Banner knocked Aerts out in 1999.
- Semmy Schilt: five kickboxing fights. Aerts won three of them, including the 2010 semifinal.
One More Run at 40
In 2010, at 40 years old, Aerts entered the K-1 World Grand Prix final tournament one more time.
He knocked out Mighty Mo in the first round. Then he beat Semmy Schilt by majority decision. It was the first time anyone had beaten Schilt in a K-1 tournament.
Aerts was hurt from the Schilt fight, and he lost the final to Alistair Overeem by first-round TKO. Still, he became the oldest man ever to reach a K-1 World Grand Prix final.
The Later Years
Aerts kept fighting the next generation of heavyweights. He lost to Tyrone Spong in Brussels in 2012.
On December 21, 2013, he faced Rico Verhoeven at GLORY 13 in Tokyo. The fight was billed as his retirement fight. Verhoeven, who was 24, won a split decision over the 43-year-old Aerts.
He still was not done. In 2014, he fought his old rival Ernesto Hoost for the sixth and last time. He also had three MMA fights, with one win and two losses.
His last fight on record was on January 19, 2020, at HEAT 46 in Tokyo. At 49, he knocked out Jairo Kusunoki with a Rear Low Kick in the second round.
What Made Peter Aerts So Dangerous
Aerts fought from an Orthodox Stance. He used punches, knees, low kicks and high kicks to break opponents down.
- High Kicks. He could knock a man out with either leg. His Lead High Kick on Andy Hug in 1998 is one of the most famous finishes in K-1.
- Low Kicks. Like many Dutch kickboxers, he threw hard Round Kicks to the legs. They slow an opponent down and take away his base.
- Boxing. He set up his kicks with straight punches, hooks and uppercuts. Many of his knockouts came from punches.
- Forward Pressure. He liked to walk forward and attack. He did not spend long rounds waiting.
- Conditioning. The Grand Prix meant three fights in one night. Aerts won it three times, which shows how tough he was.

His Legacy
Aerts fought as a pro for 35 years, from 1985 to 2020. His three titles, his high kicks and his wars with Hoost, Bernardo, Hug and Schilt made him one of the faces of K-1.
