… was the expected great success!
At the registration deadline, 62 nations from all 6 continents were registered online. As feared, some countries had not received entry visas, for whatever reason.
During registration on the first day, more than 500 fighters from 5 continents stepped on the scales, including, happily, more than 100 female athletes.
The quality and level of the fights were truly worthy of a world championship. If you don’t believe it, you can qualify for the 2026 World Championship in Colombia. There you can compete against the truly best fighters and be crowned a true world champion.
At the World Congress on Monday, more than 30 country presidents were present for the first time. Many new dates for events World wide for 2025/2026 were assigned and confirmed. The new WKF board was elected for 4 years until the 2028 World Championship!
A new world director for MMA and also for Muay Thay was also confirmed. Also a new WKF ASIA continental director was nominated!
As expected, the IRC – International Rules Committee made some rule changes, effective from January 1st, 2025.
