Genah Fabian (born September 5, 1987) is a New Zealand kickboxer and mixed martial artist.
Fabian spent her early years living with her mother in West Auckland, before moving to Central Auckland to attend Auckland Girls Grammar in 2001.
Fabian’s mother is of Samoan and German decent, while her father is Māori, from Tainui."
As a youth, Fabian found early success on the athletics track qualifying for the junior Olympics as well as becoming a competitive rower when she lived in Australia. At 19, she moved to Sydney and was working at media organization News Limited, after finishing up in a sales and marketing role at Fairfax in New Zealand.
In 2011, Fabian was involved in a serious car accident which left her home bound for about three months in Sydney. After becoming depressed due to being home bound, a friend told her about going to a muay thai training camp in Thailand. There she fell in love with the sport and relocated to Thailand. Fabian's greatest achievement in sports so far is winning the WMC middleweight title.
She is a cousin of City Kickboxing head coach Eugene Bareman.
In March 2021, Fabian made her professional boxing debut against Ariane Nicholson. Due to an accidental headbutt, Nicholson received a bad cut which forced the referee to stop the fight, ending in a no contest.
