Life and career
Van Dams was born in
Utrecht
. When he was good enough, his trainer decided to take him to Chakuriki. Van Dams had his first professional fight at the age of 18.
When he was 20 he moved from Utrecht to Dordrecht and began training with Jan Vleesenbeek. This trainer was known for his hard training methods, which suited van Dams very well. When Vleesenbeek decided to stop training, van Dams moved to a gym called "Survivor" in Breda.
When facing problems in his personal life in 1996, van Dams moved back to Utrecht. He went training at Chakuriki Gym in Amsterdam, under Thom Harinck and developed himself as one of the top fighters of the gym.
In 1999, he made his
Petar Majstorovic
by unanimous decision. A week later he won a 4-man tournament in Romania. He defeated Pavel Majer and Alben Belinski.
In 2006 Lloyd opened his own gym, Fight Club Van Dams in
Utrecht, Netherlands. He died from heart disease on 29 December 2021, at the age of 49.[1]
