World Champion Karl PRODERUTTI – title defense in Austria

The date of Saturday February 15, 2025 in the Bruck a.d. Mur sports hall has been confirmed.

The PRO world title fight is, as always, in K-1 in light middleweight – 72.3 kg.

All preparations are in the final stages, the contracts for the world championship PRO title fight against the “super strong” Frenchman from La Reunion have been signed.

Samuel ANDOCHE is currently in eighth place in the PRO WKF world rankings. He comes directly from the south of Africa, an island in the Indian Ocean. To this day an overseas department and French territory.

The second PRO-AM title fight has also now been confirmed.

Chabib KATAEV is No. 13 in the light middleweight division – 71 kg and is therefore the best Austrian today. His intended Hungarian opponent broke his nose during sparring. Now our Hungarian sports friends have provided a replacement opponent.

Oliver TAKACS is now coming from the Sukothai Thai Box SE. Team. He is one of the best Hungarian fighters in this weight class, currently No. 17 in the PRO-AM world ranking and will certainly be a challenge for Chabib.

As in the previous year, most of the tickets are already sold out !

… 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.

All details and lots of photos will follow shortly, stay tuned….
