Boxing
Gadus won the 1999 Toledo Silver Gloves tournament in the 119 lb (54 kg) weight division. He also won the 2002 Toledo Golden Gloves in the 139 lb (63 kg) division As an amateur, he ended his career with a 42– 8 record.

Mixed martial arts career
Gadus made his amateur debut in October 2008 where he defeated Shaun Bates at XCL 2: Bad Blood by knockout. He then went on to knockout his next three opponents all in the first round. Then in late 2009 Anderson Silva had called him out, and Gadus believing it to be a waste of his time, had refused, saying "If they want me to fight Silva, they might as well throw Ricky Martin at me next time. I'm a man who feeds on competition, and when theres none to be had, I'll be no where to be seen". Though the fight had not taken place, there are still rumors that the fight may still happen before 2012 ends, being that Gadus is getting older and past his prime.
