Born in the Netherlands, he began training in kickboxing in 2001. He joined the Chakuriki Gym and trained under Thom Harinck who has also trained Badr Hari. Gerges was a notorious delinquent outside of the ring who, according to Harinck, was even worse than Badr Hari.

On October 17, 2009 at Ultimate Glory 11: A Decade of Fights in Amsterdam he defeated Ruslan Karaev by unanimous decision.

On May 29, 2010 at It's Showtime 2010 Amsterdam he won the It's Showtime Heavyweight title after been fouled by Badr Hari.

On October 2 Gerges was a fan voted fighter to fight at the K-1 Final 16 in Seoul, South Korea. He fought four-time and current champion Semmy Schilt. Although fighting very well in the 1st and 3rd round against the much favored Schilt Gerges lost by Majority decision. Because he was only two points away from a draw and had battered the legs of Schilt like no other fighter had ever managed to do before he was chosen to fight at the finals on December 11, 2010 in a reserve fight against Yusuke Fujimoto. This was Fujimoto's retirement match and Gerges won by TKO (3 knockdowns).

However in 2011 Gerges was not over impressive in his performances, despite going 2-1 by beating Daniel Ghita and Chris Knowles. He lost to Rico Verhoeven by a narrow split decision in a superfight at the SuperKombat: Fight Club.
