In 2014, Leduc first gained widespread notoriety by winning his fight in the controversial Prison Fight against an inmate inside Klongpai maximum security prison in Thailand. In 2016, he travelled to Myanmar to fight Burmese bareknuckle boxing, considered the world's most brutal sport, and defeated the reigning champion Tun Tun Min to become the first non-Burmese to win the Lethwei Golden Belt title. He married Moldovan model Irina Terehova in a nationally televised traditional Burmese wedding ceremony in Yangon watched by 30 million viewers in Myanmar and became a superstar celebrity in the country.
