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 Saturday April, 24th 2021 starting at 6:00 pm CEST (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 the sixth 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.
The main event of the evening features Lithuania’s most talked about athlete Dovydas “Rimkenzo” Rimkus in a rematch against Poland’s Daniel Szott. The last time these two faced each other the bout was ruled a draw. In their last fights Rimkenzo defeated an Insta-famous bodybuilder and Szott defeated up-and-coming Germany fighter Armin Ridel. Now these two step into the ring once again to find out who the better man is.
Plus, two young ladies try fight their way into the KOK women’s division at -60 kilos when Poland’s Ilona “Rico” Wojda faces Evelina Puidaite of Lithuania. Wojda look very promising in her lone KOK fight back in November of 2019 in Latvia. However, she's been having trouble finding an opponent since then. All this and more coming your way at the KOK Classic 6 from Lithuania. Don’t miss it! The full fight card for the evening can be found below.
