He went on to win the Belgian National Championship title four times and the World Championship a total of three times.
Sinistra was nicknamed "the Undertaker", and at one time was called "Belgium's strongest man".[3] Opponents that Sinistra defeated included Stefan Leko and Dževad Poturak, while he was defeated by Badr Hari,[4] Grégory Tony, and Patrice Quarteron.

He was admitted to hospital but voluntarily discharged himself soon after. He died of COVID-19 complications in Havelange a few weeks later.[1] [2] [5]
