Rygg Ambassador Spotlight: WBC Youth Champion Diego Krasimirov

Rygg is proud to introduce Diego Krasimirov, the WBC Youth Champion and one of the most exciting young talents in boxing today, as a Rygg ambassador. At just 21 years old, Diego is already making waves in the international boxing scene, and his dedication to performance, recovery, and continual improvement aligns perfectly with Rygg’s mission to support athletes who move with purpose.

Currently living and training in Mallorca, Spain, Diego hails from Bulgaria and brings a unique blend of discipline, resilience, and passion to the sport. His journey to the top has been shaped not only by his natural talent but by hard lessons in life that have instilled adaptability, focus, and a relentless drive to succeed.

For Diego, boxing is more than a sport, t’s a way of life. “Boxing gave me structure, discipline, and purpose,” he says. “It became more than a sport; it became my way of life.” This mindset drives him through every training session, every fight, and every recovery session.

Favourite Training Session: Sparring is Diego’s go-to. “It pushes me to test everything I’ve been working on and keeps me sharp,” he explains. Sparring allows him to integrate technical skills, speed, and power under realistic fight conditions, ensuring he’s always prepared for the unexpected in the ring.

Least Favourite Training Session: While Diego recognizes the importance of cardiovascular endurance, long-distance running isn’t his favourite. “I definitely prefer explosive and technical work,” he admits. For him, efficiency, intensity, and skill-building are where the real focus lies.

Recovery with Rygg: Post-training recovery is critical for elite performance, and this is where Rygg products come in. Diego incorporates HEATE and KHULE creams into his daily routine to support his muscles after intense sessions. “I mainly use them after training, and sometimes before big sessions to stay sharp and ready,” he says. “They support my recovery and performance in a safe and effective way, helping me stay at the top of my game.”

Winning the WBC Youth title is undoubtedly Diego’s biggest achievement to date, but he sees it as just the beginning. “It’s a huge milestone, but I don’t see it as the peak,” he explains. His future goals are ambitious: defending his WBC Youth title, winning the Bulgarian national title, and eventually competing internationally for major belts.

Ultimately, Diego’s sights are set on becoming a world champion and building a personal brand that inspires the next generation of boxers. “I want to leave a legacy and show young athletes that with discipline and hard work, anything is possible,” he says.

Behind every successful athlete is a team of mentors and supporters, and for Diego, his coach Paul Hamilton is central to his journey. “Paul’s knowledge, experience, and attention to detail are unmatched,” Diego shares. “He knows exactly how to bring the best out of me, both physically and mentally.”

Diego also credits his upbringing with teaching him resilience and adaptability. “Growing up with constant change and uncertainty taught me lessons that now make me a better professional boxer,” he reflects. These lessons, combined with his rigorous training and recovery routines, give him the edge needed to compete at an elite level.

Despite his intense training schedule, Diego enjoys the simple pleasures in life. His favourite food? “Steak. Simple and classic,” he says with a smile. It’s a small indulgence that reflects his practical approach to nutrition and life, focusing on what fuels performance without overcomplicating things.

Diego also emphasizes balance in his lifestyle, integrating recovery tools, proper nutrition, and structured rest alongside his intense boxing regimen. This holistic approach allows him to push limits while maintaining longevity in his career.

At 21, Diego’s mindset is mature beyond his years. He approaches every day with discipline, hunger, and the belief that he can always improve. “Boxing is more than winning fights,” he says. “It’s about building a legacy, inspiring others, and constantly challenging yourself to be better.”

This mentality translates to every aspect of his training and recovery. By integrating Rygg into his daily routine, Diego ensures that he can train harder, recover faster, and remain sharp for every challenge the ring presents.

Diego Krasimirov embodies the values Rygg champions: resilience, preparation, and purposeful movement. Our HEATE and KHULE creams support him in the same way we support all athletes, through products that are science-backed, Informed Sport certified, and designed for performance and recovery.

Whether it’s warming up before a sparring session or recovering after a gruelling day of training, Rygg helps Diego stay at his best. “I integrate the cream into my daily routine, whether it’s for recovery after training or just for day-to-day use,” he explains. This seamless integration of performance care is central to how Diego maintains consistency and excellence in his sport.

As Diego continues his journey in boxing, Rygg will stand alongside him, supporting his training, performance, and recovery at every stage. From local gyms in Mallorca to international competitions, this partnership ensures he has the tools to perform, recover, and move with purpose.

Diego’s ambition, discipline, and focus make him a true role model, not only for aspiring boxers in Bulgaria and Spain but for young athletes worldwide. His story shows that hard work, the right support, and a dedication to recovery are key to reaching elite levels in sport.

At just 21 years old, Diego Krasimirov has already achieved what many can only dream of, holding the WBC Youth title, training under an expert coach Paul Hamilton, and competing at an international level. With Rygg by his side, he has the performance and recovery support to continue this journey, build his legacy, and inspire the next generation of athletes.
