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 November 18th 2017 starting at 6:00 pm CET (7:00 pm Lithuania).
KOK is back in Vilnius and that means huge crowds and exciting fights under both kickboxing and MMA rules. The main event features a heavyweight contest between local hero Tomas Pakutinskas (13 - 12) and Japan’s MMA and judo legend Satoshi Ishii (16 - 8 - 1). Although Pakutinskas has had some questionable opponents in recent appearances in KOK, he will really be put to the test here against the former Olympic gold medal-winning judoka. Ishii holds wins over some of the best fighters in the world such as K-1 legend Jerome Le Banner, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia and renowned grappler and fighter Jeff Monson. With a win here in front of his hometown fans, Pakutinskas can prove that he is a world-class heavyweight. Also on the card is the return of Lithuania’s Igans Barysas (10 - 2) as he faces Greek fighter Konstantions Skordouli under MMA Bushido rules. Barysas has won his last seven fights and is looking to extend his winning streak on the 18th. The full fight card can be found below.
