This past Friday Colosseum Tournament held one of the most impressive events the promotion has ever hosted. It was an outdoor event emanating from the grounds of the Suceava Fortress. There was a live orchestra, real gladiators, opera singers and a live rock concert after the event. Kickboxing legend Semmy Schilt and multiple time heavyweight champion Ismael Londt were also in attendance.
Two title fights headlined the event with brothers Vasile Amaritei and Alexandru Amaritei both fighting for championship gold. The younger Alexandru was able to capture the CT Interim Welterweight Title. However, his older brother Vasile was knocked out by undefeated Dutch fighter Thain De Vries in the second round.
