Founder of the Mongol Empire, which grew into the largest contiguous land empire in history. Rose from an outcast childhood on the steppe to unite the Mongol tribes in 1206.
Ryu

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Ryu by TKO. Genghis tries a feigned retreat, but a boxing ring is a poor steppe, and Ryu is 10 kg heavier and 5 cm taller. A Shoryuken lands in round two. The Yam relay was fast, but the referee's stoppage is faster.
Fair fight? Move the bout to an open, steppe-sized field so Genghis has room for his feigned retreats and Ryu has to chase him for nine minutes.
