🇫🇷 The Return of the World GBC Tour: From Glory Days to a Spectacular Future !
The World GBC Tour has established itself as one of Europe’s leading K-1 kickboxing events, renowned for its world-class productions and electrifying fight cards. During its golden years, in partnership with the World Kickboxing Network, the Tour hosted unforgettable WKN European and WKN World championship bouts that brought together some of the sport’s finest talents.
Over the years, the ring of the GBC Tour has seen legendary fighters such as Bruce Codron, Eddy Nait Slimani, Jimmy Vienot, Abdallah Mabel, Houcine Bennoui, Djany Fiorenti, Hakim Ketaieb, Emma Gongora, and many others. Their battles turned the World GBC Tour into a true stage of champions and a reference point in international kickboxing.
After a few years of pause, the World GBC Tour made a highly anticipated comeback in 2024 with 2 WKN World championships, led by the dynamic duo David Blanc (founder of W. GBC) and Bruce Codron (iconic fighter and co-organizer).
Together, they revived the event’s prestige, introducing new international tournaments while staying faithful to its tradition of elite-level competition.
With renewed energy and ambition, the duo relaunched the event with spectacular international tournaments, thrilling title bouts, and the famous Bruce Codron Talent Cup, reaffirming the Tour’s place at the heart of global kickboxing.
Looking forward, the 2025 edition promises to be explosive. A magnificent WKN World Championship fight will headline the gala, with details to be announced very soon. The World GBC Tour is once again ready to deliver unforgettable nights, bringing the world’s best fighters to Avignon and writing a new chapter in its legacy of glory.
