FightBox is proud to announce that King of Kings, one of the most recognizable brands of kickboxing, will return to live action from Vilnius, Lithuania on Saturday September 26th 2020 starting at 6:00 pm CEST (7:00 pm in Lithuania).
KOK fans around the globe are celebrating as the promotion makes its long awaited return to its home base of Vilnius, Lithuania. The event was originally scheduled for March of this year, but the date was pushed back several times due to the COVID-19 restrictions. The show will be held at Siemens Arena, but there will not be the normal 10,000 fans in attendance as social distancing measures are in place and all attendees will be required to wear masks.
For the second straight event, Evaldas Petrauskas is fighting in the main event. The former Olympic Medalist remains undefeated as a professional, winning his last fight at the KOK Classic 2 on August 2nd against Polish journeyman Łukasz Łęczyński. He’s blossoming professional career continues, as he faces nineteen year old Estonian up-and-comer Semjon Kamanin.
Two of KOK’s top Lithuanian fighters will also be on the card Matas Pultarazinskas and “Rimkenzo” Dovydas Rimkus. These two fighters were scheduled to face each other last year in a bout that was cancelled due to the injury of Pultarazinskas. The two have continued to taunt each other and show interest in a future matchup with Rimkenzo recently saying that that the longer the fight gets postponed, the better because he will continue to get better and gain experience. One has to wonder, with both men in the same building at the same time, if their paths will somehow cross in Vilnius. The full fight card for the evening can be found below.
