WKN Strengthens Its Global Leadership

This week once again underlines the leadership and excellence of the World Kickboxing Network, with two major World Championships taking place in France.

Valentigney

WKN World Championship – Super Featherweight Division

Arsenijs Nikolajevs (Latvia) vs Brandon Vieira (France/Portugal)

Avignon

WKN World Championship – Lightweight Division

Eddy Nait Slimani (France) vs Ji-myeong Seo (South Korea)

These four outstanding fighters represent the true elite of international kickboxing. Two of them are already established WKN champions, and both events promise authentic, high-calibre world title contests.

Unlike many organizations that award so-called “world titles” in average or even questionable matchups, the WKN continues to set the global standard offering only genuine, world-class championships worthy of the name.

At a time when many fighters look for easy matchups and some titles are handed out like gifts, we want to acknowledge and thank the promoters who have chosen the true sporting path one built on challenge, courage, and real competition.

Our sincere gratitude goes to David Blanc, Bruce Codron, and Mihoub Amine for their professionalism, integrity, and unwavering commitment to promoting tough, meaningful fights that honor the spirit of kickboxing.

The World President and the WKN Global Office also wish to extend their deep appreciation to our France Coordinator, Mr Bakir Habib for his tireless and demanding work behind the scenes. His dedication, professionalism, expertise, and experience are invaluable to all of us and play a key role in making these great events possible.
