Biography and career

Growing up fighting on the Spanish scene Hernandez had a successful 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 Hernandez 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.

While relatively unknown abroad, Hernandez was announced as the challenger to 61MAX world champion Karim Bennoui in June 2011, for the It's Showtime promotion. While a heavy underdog, Hernandez succeeded in achieving a unanimous decision victory after five rounds, becoming the new champion.

Hernandez subsequently lost to Yuki by KO due to lowkicks in round two at RISE 90 in Tokyo, Japan on 25 October 2012.Yuki vs Javier Hernandez Headlines RISE 90 on October 25th10 fights to watch in OctoberJapanese kickboxing scene: October previewRISE 90 Results: Yuki Stops Javier Hernandez in 2nd Round Later, he beat Mickael Peynaud by decision at Heroes IV in Cordoba, Spain on 17 November 2012.Heroes IV: Javier Hernandez vs. Michael PeynaudFight To Watch In November: Part 1Heroes IV: Javier Hernandez Rebounds With Win
