FightBox is proud to announce that King of Kings, one of the most recognizable brands of kickboxing, will return to live action from Chisinau, Moldova on Saturday March 24th 2017 starting at 6:30 pm CET (7:30 pm Moldova).
KOK is back for another huge show for the second straight week in March. Hot off the heels of one of the biggest events of the year in Vilnius, Lithuania in front of 8,000 fans, King of Kings returns to action in their stronghold of the Moldovan capital - Chisinau. The Hero’s World Series portion of the event will be live on FightBox featuring five scheduled fights all under KOK kickboxing rules.
For the first time ever King of Kings will crown a women’s champion when Holland’s Esma Hasshass (8 - 2) faces Nadejda Cantir (5 - 1) of Moldova for the -51 kg title. Both ladies were a part of the first women’s WGP that took place one year ago in 2017, winning their semi-final fights. However, a serious car accident kept Hasshass out of action for several months. Now the two finally meet in a five round fight, this time with the title on the line.
Also, a one-night, four-man -65 kg tournament will take place featuring fighters from Moldova, Morocco, Belarus and Bulgaria. In the first semi-final fight Valdis Beleavskii (6 - 1) of Belarus will take on Moldova’s Dmitrii Sirbu (5 - 3) and in the second semi-final Bulgarian fighter Hristiyan Andonov (11 - 1) will meet Issam Laazibi (7 - 3) of Morocco. The two semi-final winners will square off later in the night to decide the tournament winner. That man will face the current KOK Featherweight Champion Stanislaw Renita for the title in the future. The full fight card can be found below.
