'''Anthony "Antz" Nansen''' (born 12 March 1983) is a [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand) professional [boxer](/source/boxing), [kickboxer](/source/kickboxing) and [mixed martial artist](/source/mixed_martial_arts).
==Career==
Nansen practised [kung fu](/source/kung_fu) as a child and grew up playing [rugby league](/source/rugby_league). He began training in [kickboxing](/source/kickboxing) at the age of 21. He is the cousin of [Ray Sefo](/source/Ray_Sefo).[{{cite web|url=http://www.nzfighters.com/node/100|title=Interview with Antz "Notorious" Nansen|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325202243/http://www.nzfighters.com/node/100 |archive-date=25 March 2012}}] He holds a professional [kickboxing](/source/kickboxing) record of 22 wins and 3 loss, and has been the kickboxing champion of [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand) in three different weight classes.[[http://www.nzfighters.com/node/328 'Notorious' Nansen vs Satoshi Ishii - MMA Super Fight at K-1 World Max Final]] He defeated Joel Martin in October 2008 to become the World Kickboxing Federation (WKBF) Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion of New Zealand.[[http://www.profighting-fans.com/mma/fighter-profiles/antz-nansen.html Fighter Profile: Antz "Notorious" Nansen] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004195618/http://www.profighting-fans.com/mma/fighter-profiles/antz-nansen.html |date=4 October 2011 }}]
On 23 September 2009, he made his [mixed martial arts](/source/mixed_martial_arts) debut against Olympic [judo](/source/judo)ka [Hiroshi Izumi](/source/Hiroshi_Izumi) at ''[World Victory Road Presents: Sengoku 10](/source/World_Victory_Road_Presents%3A_Sengoku_10)'' in [Saitama](/source/Saitama_(city)), [Japan](/source/Japan). Nansen was able to control the fight with his [striking](/source/Strike_(martial_arts)) and won via [technical knockout](/source/technical_knockout) in the first round.[[http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Izumis-Debut-Spoiled-Hornbuckle-Finishes-Thompson-at-Sengoku-10-19887 Izumi's Debut Spoiled; Hornbuckle Finishes Thompson at Sengoku 10]]
The following year, on 25 April, Nansen took part in his second MMA bout at ''ASTRA: Yoshida's Farewell'' against [jiu-jitsu](/source/Brazilian_Jiu-Jitsu) fighter Enson Inoue, who was making his return to the ring after six years of retirement. Inoue used his superior [grappling](/source/grappling) skills to win via [submission](/source/Submission_(combat_sport)) by using an [armbar](/source/armbar) in round 1.[[http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Astra-Notebook-Promotions-Future-Still-Undecided-24127 Astra Notebook: Promotion's Future Still Undecided]]
He was then set to face [Satoshi Ishii](/source/Satoshi_Ishii), another of Japan's Olympic judoka, at the ''[K-1 World MAX 2010](/source/K-1_World_MAX_2010_World_Championship_Tournament_Final)''.[{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/21172/satoshi-ishii-vs-antz-nansen-mma-bout-added-to-nov-8-k-1-world-max-2010-event.mma |title=Satoshi Ishii vs. Antz Nansen MMA bout added to Nov. 8 K-1 World MAX 2010 event |date=27 October 2010 |work=mmajunkie.com |accessdate=27 October 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20101101194532/http://mmajunkie.com/news/21172/satoshi-ishii-vs-antz-nansen-mma-bout-added-to-nov-8-k-1-world-max-2010-event.mma| archivedate= 1 November 2010 | url-status= live}}] However, Nansen was unable to compete
