WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026

OCTOBER  18th – 24th

CARTAGENA – COLOMBIA

60 YEARS OF WKF – FOUNDED  1964

World Championships 2028 Bucharest, Romania

 

Multiple World champion Karl PRODERUTTI – next title defense in Bruck an der Mur. The event on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the Bruck an der Mur sports hall has long been confirmed.

The World Championship title fight is, as always, in K-1, Light Middleweight -72.3 kg.

All preparations are in their final stages, and the contracts for the World PRO title fight against the current number one in Latin America were signed at the end of November.

Daniel TORRES is currently ranked seventh in the WKF PRO world rankings.

Torres is coming directly from Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, with his coach, Luis Mediomundo.

Mediomundo is also the organizer of the upcoming World Championships in Colombia in October 2026.

Two PRO-AM European title fights have also been confirmed:

The Hungarian Girl Olah KINCSÖ competes for Austria and is currently ranked 5th in the world in the Atomweight -48 kg category, making her the highest-ranked Austrian competitor.

Her opponent is Renata DINU from Bucharest, ranked No. 4. The fight is for the WKF PRO-AM European title in K-1.

Another WKF PRO-AM European title fight has been confirmed on the fight card!

Cesar ZIDARESCU, ranked No. 12 in the world in the light middleweight -71 kg division, comes from the renowned Tai Shin Do Gym in Bucharest. He is one of the best Romanian fighters in this weight class and will certainly be a big and real challenge for the Austrian fighter, Felix ELLMAIER.

As a medalist at the European Championships, the Romanian is definitely not a pushover or a handpicked opponent! This is something that has unfortunately often been the case with smaller promoters in the past.

As in previous years, the first VIP tickets have already been sold, and a few tickets are still available for the stands!

WKF World Amateur President Carlos Suárez from Buenos Aires, has been confirmed as a referee and representative for Latin America and will be special guest and ringside in Austria.

One of the most significant international events of the season is being prepared in Minsk – the Octopus 8 × BFC 86 combat sports tournament.

On February 13, Prime Hall will become the venue for a major sports union: two leagues – Octopus and BFC, two key federations – the Russian Kickboxing Federation and the Belarusian Kickboxing Federation, are joining forces to host a tournament of a qualitatively new level. The upcoming event is not a coincidence, but a logical step in a long journey.

The WKF World Cup in Minsk, the Allazov Cup and the alliance with the Octopus league – each milestone has become a stepping stone towards achieving a completely new level of excellence, ultimately shaping a new developmental vector.

The tournament format includes 12 bouts:
6 fights under K1 rules and 6 fights under MMA rules.

The key focus is on professional K1 kickboxing, where spectators can expect pivotal confrontations and rematches as part of a match-up between the Russian and Belarusian national teams.

For the leading kickboxers of the two countries, the tournament will serve as a serious professional platform – an opportunity to make a name for themselves, strengthen their positions, and take the next step in their careers.

In addition to the sporting events, guests can look forward to a vibrant show program, musical accompaniment from the rock band KORBUT, interactive zones from partners, and the atmosphere of a grand fight night at Prime Hall.

12 bouts. International fighters. One arena. Octopus 8 × BFC 86 – February 13, Prime Hall. Start: 18:00.

full tournament card and more will be published soon – stay tuned for updates, an exciting fight night awaits us ahead
