Athlete Spotlight
Global Ambassador for FYYTR
Tarantula Tijhaan
Tijhaan Ajram represents the next generation of youth boxing, focused, disciplined, and built on fundamentals rather than noise.
At 13 years old, Tijhaan has already demonstrated what early commitment looks like in the ring. After winning her debut fight, she continues to develop at grassroots level with an emphasis on learning the sport properly, building habits, and respecting the process that comes with long-term growth.
Born in the UK and now residing in Abu Dhabi, Tijhaan’s journey reflects the modern reality of youth sport , global in exposure, local in training, and shaped by strong coaching environments and daily discipline.
The Journey
Tijhaan’s focus remains firmly on development. Training is centred around fundamentals , technique, conditioning, ring awareness, and mental discipline, with progress measured by consistency rather than outcomes.
Her debut win marked an important milestone, but it is treated as a checkpoint, not a destination. At this stage, staying grounded in training and continuing to learn takes priority over attention or titles.
Like many young fighters at grassroots level, her journey is defined by:
- Structured, regular training
- Respect for coaches and guidance
- Discipline in and out of the gym
- Patience with progression
