David Louzan Fidalgo was born in Galicia, Spain in June 1980. He moved to the UK with his family in 1986 and lived in Guildford Surrey until 1998. At the age of 18 David left the family home and moved to Putney in London to follow his dreams.

In 1999 David also attended Roehampton University and read International Business and Spanish BSc. He was awarded a 2:1 with joint honours.

In 2001 David attended St Mary's University where he carried out a Sports Science Diploma.

Over the years David has gained various qualifications including an MBA, HND, MARLA, Rugby Coaching License, Strength and Conditioning, PADI, Black Belt 1st Dan in Goju Kaiko Karate, Black Belt 2nd Dan in Streetwise Fighting Systems, Black Belt 1st Dan in Kickboxing, currently studies Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has entered and won various grappling competitions and many more. David is a true example of someone who thinks that "the pen is mightier than the sword".

As well as playing rugby at a very high level (Harlequins Development Squad) and a kick-boxer, David was predominantly a very highly ranked amateur boxer and boasts a very impressive amateur record of 54-4-0.

He was then snapped up by an up and coming promoter by the name of Joey Pyle Jnr and turned professional in 2000 as a super middle weight. David amassed a very respectable record of 22-4-0 but many believe he was badly managed and was not offered the right fights to climb the prestigious ladder. Unfortunately David Louzan Fidalgo was forced into early retirement due to a brain hemorrhage caused by severe weight cutting in 2003.

David then left the boxing world and entered into the property world in the busy City of London. Along side his property company in London he owned various businesses including restaurants, nurseries, a building company, management company, art sales and a cleaning company. More notably over a career in property spanning 15 years he accumulated a property portfolio which he still manages and hopes to pass onto his children.

In May 2014 David Louzan Fidalgo sold his property and management company "DavidStJames and Dwell Management" for an undisclosed sum and has now settled into the easy life back in Guildford surrey with his wife and daughter.
