FightBox is proud to announce that King of Kings, one of the most recognizable brands of kickboxing, will return to live action from Istanbul, Turkey on Saturday March 30th 2019 starting at 5:00 pm CET (7:00 pm in Turkey).
King of Kings is back on FightBox for the promotion’s fourth event of 2019 and their second show in Turkey this year. The fight card for this event is for sure the strongest so far of any KOK event in Turkey. The event is headlined by veteran kickboxer Albert “The Hurricane” Kraus who faces Nijat Valiyev of Azerbaijan. Kraus has had over 120 professional kickboxing fights in his career and has wins over some of the best in the sport, including Buakaw Benchamek, Andy Souwer and John Wayne Parr. For the last several years he has mainly been competing in China. Valiyev is ready for the toughest fight of his career and will do everything in his power to upset the legend. A win here could change his career forever.
Also on the card are two of the top fighters in the KOK lightweight division when Poland’s Kamil Pawlak faces Iran’s Masoud Minaei. Pawlak has had many tough challenges in King of Kings, including two appearances last year in -71 kg WGP tournaments. However, this may be his toughest challenge to date. Minaei is a one of Iran’s top fighters and has competed against some of the best talent in the world including Yodsanklai, Marco Pique, Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee, Maxim Spodarenko and more. Whoever wins this matchup will for sure skyrocket his ranking in the KOK lightweight division. The full fight card for the evening can be found below.
