FightBox is proud to announce that LNK Boxing, one of Eastern Europe’s premiere combat sports leagues, returns to action on Saturday March 23rd starting at 6:30 pm CET (7:30 pm local time).
LNK Boxing presents “LNK Fight Night 11” featuring twelve big fights from the Latvian capital of Riga. This unique event will feature fights under boxing, MMA and kickboxing rules with some of Latvia’s toughest fighters. In the main event, hometown hero Kaspars Kambala (3 - 0 - 1) will clash with Aliaksandr Niakhaichyk (1 - 4) of Belarus. Kambala is best known as a professional basketball player where he played college ball in America for UNLV University. At one point he was suspended for doping and turned to boxing where he went 3 - 0 - 1 in 2008, all of his fights happening in the USA. He now resides in his home country of Latvia and is playing for BK Jurmala, a professional basketball club in Latvia. His return to the ring comes 11 years later against Naikhaichyk who comes into the fight on a four fight losing streak.
Also on the card is a light heavyweight bout between Ricards Bolotniks (12 - 5 - 1) of Latvia and Patrick Mendy (18 - 13 - 3) of the UK. Bolotniks is a quality fighter who has only suffered losses to other top tier boxers. He will have to be on his A game to get past the crafty veteran Mendy.
