KOS 2 Lausanne: WKN Returns with Authority in Switzerland

On April 18, 2026, the city of Lausanne will host the highly anticipated second edition of King of Switzerland (KOS 2) at the Vallée de la Jeunesse, a major event showcasing the strength and prestige of the World Kickboxing Network.

At the center of this event is promoter Alain Coppey, whose background speaks for itself.
