FightBox is proud to announce that King of Kings, one of the most recognizable brands of kickboxing, will return to live action from Lithuania on Sunday February 28th 2021 starting at 6:00 pm CET (7:00 pm in Lithuania).
As many fighting events around the world continue to be postponed or cancelled, KOK somehow finds a way to succeed despite the COVID-19 regulations limiting combat sports. This is the first KOK event of the year, and it is also the fifth event in the “KOK Classic” series, which has come to define the COVID-19 era of events for the promotion, which generally are spotlighting local fighters and younger talent.
In one of the most talked-about matches of the evening, one of KOK’s biggest stars Dovydas “Rimkenzo” Rimkus will face well known Lithuanian bodybuilder Remigijus Virsila in a boxing match. After much trash talking on social media, King of Kings granted Rimkenzo his wish to take on the much bigger and stronger “Sila” despite the incredible height and weight differential between the two and also despite the fact that Virsila has no fighting background. This “David vs. Goliath” match will definitely be one to watch.
Also in action will be the current KOK Interim Featherweight Champion Matas Pultarazinskas as he takes on a much more experienced Oleg Moshin of Poland / Belarus. Pultarazinskas, who in a recent interview, referred to himself as the "present and future of KOK", captured the title after defeating Moshin’s teammate Lukasz Leczycki by a narrow majority decision. Now Moshin is looking for revenge. The full fight card for the evening can be found below.
