Biography and career
His mother emigrated at age 25 from Romania to France.[4]
After a flying start to his career, both in France and Thailand, where he accumulated a number of quick victories, he broke his right hand in 1997 while defending his title again in Europe. After two years of forced shutdown, he resumed his career in 1999 and made a stunning return to the highest level, overcoming the pessimistic prognosis of the doctors.[5]
In 2000 Jean fought Robert Kaennorasing for the ISKA 65kg title and won by knockout.
Jean fought and defeated Sak Kaoponlek by knockout and became the first non-Thai boxer to become ranked number 1 at Rajadamnern stadium in 2003, would become number one ranked again in 2006.[6]
In 2010, Skarbowsky appeared on the twelfth season of the American mixed martial arts reality television show The Ultimate Fighter, where he was the Muay Thai coach on Georges St-Pierre's team.[7]
