A total of eighteen Kickboxers form various local clubs participated in this event.
In the main event of the evening Daniel Zahra defeated Portuguese, Bruno Torres in a 5x3 WKN World Title fight under K1 rules. Both fighters were relentless in their determination to win, offering a spectacle of different Kickboxing techniques. In the first two rounds both fighters seemed balanced, with attacks and counter attacks and a number of well executed moves. In the third round Zahra seemed to edge ahead and began to take control of the fight, Zahra on several occasions executing leg and knee combinations landed blows to Torres’s head. At the end the judges had little difficulty in delivering a unanimous decision in favour of Zahra and crowning him as the new WKN world champion for his division.
Brandon Spiteri left everyone in awe by winning his match against Christian Schembri kickboxing in a record four seconds of the first round. Spiteri opened up with a front attack followed with a house kick to the head which had his opponent down, who although managed to raise from the canvas the referee decided that enough was enough and counted Spiteri’s opponent out.
