FightBox is proud to announce that Colosseum Tournament, Romania’s biggest kickboxing promotion, will be live from Arad, Romania on Thursday May 9th starting at 6:00 pm CEST (7:00 pm local time).
Colosseum Tournament returns to action for the promotion’s second big event of 2019. The main attraction of the evening will be a four-man heavyweight tournament to crown the first ever Colosseum Tournament Heavyweight Champion. In the first semi-final fight Claudiu Alexe of Romania will face Hungary’s Gyorgy Szabo. The second semi-final matchup pits Costin Mincu against Marius Munteanu. Both winners will square off in the finals later that night for the Heavyweight Championship.
Another title will be contested in the main event when Eduard Gafencu attempts to hold two championships simultaneously. Gafencu became the -81 kg Champion in September of last year and if he is successful here against Ekrem Doruk of Holland, he will also become the -77 kg Champion. Doruk is a protégé of kickboxing legend Remy Bonjasky who will also be at the show as a special guest, along with another kickboxing great, Peter Aerts.
