Flashback: Steve Valente – A Champion’s Legacy !
Steve Valente is one of the few to have earned three WKN titles in multiple disciplines, Kickboxing, K-1, and Muay Thai. Today, he is not only a top trainer and promoter but also leads a stable of exclusive WKN champions, unmatched by many around the world.
On June 12, 2015, at Ultimate Muay Thai / K1 Rules Strasbourg 1 in Gymnase de la Rotonde, Steve defended his WKN World Title against the tough Thai fighter Armin. It was an intense match, but Steve emerged victorious.
“It was my last fight in Strasbourg, and I thought it was my retirement fight. Despite the challenges of training while organizing the event especially after recovering from a tibia fracture it was a night to remember.”
The event was a huge success: a sold-out venue, an incredible atmosphere, and four professional bouts plus ten international fights.
Though it marked the end of his time in the Strasbourg ring, Steve went on to fight and win three more times afterward. Many of those who are now his students were there that night, cheering him on. The rest is history.
Thank you to all for your years of support to the WKN !
