The WKN and BoxRec: A New Era for Kickboxing and Muay Thai !
The World Kickboxing Network (WKN) is proud to have established a significant partnership with BoxRec, a platform that is revolutionizing the world of kickboxing and Muay Thai. This agreement marks a new chapter in the professional recognition and structuring of these sports globally, offering fighters, officials, and promoters unprecedented visibility and credibility.
BoxRec, widely recognized as the authoritative source for professional boxing rankings and results, has long been trusted for its reliable and comprehensive system. Its serious and productive rankings manage a substantial part of professional boxing worldwide. Now, BoxRec has extended its database to include kickboxing and Muay Thai, further solidifying its role as a leader in combat sports.
In an era where many promoters create their own belts, rankings, and championships—often lacking true federative legitimacy—this partnership with BoxRec will bring a much-needed shift. It will ensure that kickboxing and Muay Thai championships are regulated and recognized on a global level, offering real legitimacy to the fighters and promoters involved.
The WKN’s efforts go beyond this partnership. Every day, the WKN sends detailed information and results to the BoxRec database, covering 31 years of global championships. This monumental task is essential to maintaining the legacy of the WKN and ensuring that the hard work of our champions, who have fought under our banner for decades, is preserved. These champions, who have competed in every corner of the world, deserve the recognition they have earned through years of dedication.
This collaboration between the WKN and BoxRec is a game-changer, bringing transparency and organization to kickboxing and Muay Thai. With official rankings and records available to a global audience, this partnership will play a pivotal role in the growth and professionalization of both sports. In the coming years, having a BoxRec ranking will become an important milestone in every fighter’s career, further cementing the importance of this platform in the future of combat sports.
