Javier "El Tigre de Villarubia" Hernandez (born 2 November 1989 in Spain) is a Spanish lightweight kickboxer currently fighting out of Tiger Team .[1] He is a former I.S.K.A. inter-continental champion and former It's Showtime 61MAX champion.

As of November 2012, Hernandez is ranked the #7 lightweight in the world by LiverKick.com.[2]

Career/Biography

Growing up fighting on the Spanish scene Javier had a decent amateur record winning the national title in 2008 and winning a bronze and silver medal in Full-Contact and K-1 rules at the W.P.K.A. world championships, held at the end of the year. He also had a number of professional fights that year, culminating by winning the Iberian pro belt. In 2009 Javier won his first professional international title by becoming the I.S.K.A. inter-continental champion.

These victories still left Javier virtually unheard of outside of Spain and this was echoed when he was announced as the challenger to 61MAX world champion Karim Bennoui for the first ever It's Showtime event to be held in Spain in June, 2011.[3] Bennoui had looked great in beating the previous champion Sergio Wielzen a few months' previously and many fancied him against the underdog Hernandez. Javier proved everyone wrong in what was arguably the most exciting world title fight ever held by It's Showtime, surviving a second round knockdown to come back with a knockdown of his own to take a unanimous decision victory after five rounds and become the new champion.[4]

He lost to Yuki by KO due to lowkicks in round two at RISE 90 in Tokyo, Japan on October 25, 2012.[5][6][7][8]

He beat Mickael Peynaud by decision at Heroes IV in Cordoba, Spain on November 17, 2012.[9][10][11]
