The Big Kickboxing News & Rumors Thread [2020]

I wasn't expecting Savvas to lose but he got clipped with those small gloves and couldn't make up the deficit.

Chinese kickboxing all pretty much on hold. No news about when next Kunlun or Wu Lin Feng events are held in China. Kunlun/AMMA event in Thailand on the 23rd still going ahead and think probably at least most of the Chinese fighters on that card have been in Thailand for a while already so doubt there'll be many late minute cancellations for that

Would have preferred him signing with Glory or K-1, but moving away from Enfusion is a step in the right direction if your goal is to fight opponents of a higher calibre.

American kickboxer Brian “The Lion” Collette “is wanted by authorities for allegedly strangling a woman,” according to a report by the WAVY 10 TV channel in Virginia.

Glory would've been nice. K-1...meh, they don't utilize non-Japanese fighters that well, so Ozcan would've had to scrounge up more fights elsewhere anyway and not like K-1 70kg really has a ton of world class fighters. Enfusion does better there.

Don't really know who exactly is under contract by ONE, they don't get scrutinized much on that front, but Petrosyan, Superbon, Yod, Sana, Kehl...now Ozcan. Said on twitter they are a Kiria or a Sitti signing away from my love for them  That's a good lineup of fighters no matter if they run it just as a regular weight-class or do another tournament.

Yup. I love K-1 for everything 67KG or below. 70KG in Japan right now is no that good... Look at their K'Festa 3 70KG tournament... Probably a 65-67KG guy is going to take it.
