Roman Emperor Commodus, who began fighting in the Colosseum in 192 AD, fought 735 consecutive bouts without a single loss, first against animals and then against gladiators, with the Senate forced to attend his performances; after each victory, he demanded to be addressed as Hercules, son of Jupiter, god of Rome, demonstrating his obsession with gladiatorial combat and self-deification.

He was good at fighting.
Frighteningly good. He began fighting in the Colosseum in 192 AD.
Not occasionally, every day. He fought animals first, lions, bears, ostriches, killing hundreds in staged hunts while the crowd watched. Then he fought men, gladiators, real ones, though the fights were arranged so Commodus would always win. He fought 735 consecutive bouts without a single loss. The Senate was forced to attend every session to watch their emperor play gladiator in the sand. And after each fight, Commodus would walk to the imperial box, raise his sword, and demand to be addressed by his new name, Hercules, son of Jupiter, god of Rome.
