Osaze was born and raised in Peckham, London, but is now based in Nottingham where he also preaches at the God's Vineyard Ministry where he was ordained as a minister in 2018.

Aged 15, having been excluded from school thirteen times and on the verge of being permanently expelled due to anger management issues, he turned to Boxing in 2009 after it was recommended to him by a friend who said it would be a great way to channel his energy positively.

He attended Nottingham Trent University, where he gained a BA (Hons) in Business Management and a Master's in Sport Psychology.

He narrowly missed out on becoming a member of the England squad due to injury and was also in contention to represent Nigeria and attempt to qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games after receiving a call up from the national head coach.

He then overcame Grant Dennis in the final, securing a majority decision (MD) helped by a third-round knockdown.
