Endy Semeleer (born 18 November 1995) is a Dutch kickboxer who competes in the welterweight division of Enfusion. He is the former Enfusion 72.5 and 75kg champion.

Kickboxing career[]
Early career[]
In 2016 Endy participated in an eight man King of the Ring tournament.[3] Following a flying knee win over Nicky Lopez and a TKO win over Marcel Verhaar, Semeleer faced Robert Siebenheller in the final match of the tournament. He won the fight by a first round knockout.[4]
Enfusion[]
The following year, he was signed with Enfusion. He achieved a four fight winning streak with the organization, with decision wins over Bilal Loukili and Regilio van den Ent, as well as KO wins over Hamed Nabil and Jordan Watson. This earned him a spot in the Enfusion Eight Man Tournament.[5][6] In the quarter final bout he scored a third round TKO win over Diogo Calado, and in the semi finals a decision win over Mohamed Khamal. In the finals of the tournament, Endy faced the kickboxing and muay thai legend Superbon Banchamek. Semeleer won the fight by a unanimous decision, winning the tournament and €100 000 in prize money.[7] Combat Press gave this fight their "Upset of the Year" award.[8]
In 2018 he won the Enfusion 75kg World title with a unanimous decision win over Aziz Kallah.[9] In the same year he participated in another Enfusion tournament, winning the quarter final bout against Marouan Toutouh, but being forced to withdraw due to an injury.
In February of 2019, Semeleer attempted to become a two weight world champion, by challenging the reigning 72.5 kg champion Tayfun Özcan. Semeleer suffered the first loss of his professional career, dropping a decision to the Dutch fighter.[10]
He made his first title defense by winning a rematch against Marouan Toutouh.[11]
Semeleer once again attempted to capture the 72.5 kg World title at Enfusion 98, being scheduled to face Nordin van Roosmalen.[12] Endy scored an early knockdown in round 1, after landing a knee to Nordin's head. He dominated the remaining four rounds as well, and won the fight by a unanimous decision.[13]
Semeleer was scheduled to fight the two-time Dutch kickboxing champion Kevin Hessling on September 11, 2021, at the Enfusion's Nijmegen event.[14] He won the fight by a first-round knockout.[15]
Semeleer was scheduled to face Jay Overmeer for the inaugural Enfusion World Welterweight (-77kg) Championship at Enfusion #104 on November 12, 2021. He won the fight by unanimous decision.[16]
