🇵🇾 WKN World tour: Paraguay, The Rising Power of South American Combat
Asunción, Paraguay – The WKN World tour has officially touched down in Paraguay, marking a historic moment for the region’s combat sports scene. During his stay, the WKN World President took the stage to spotlight the incredible momentum of a nation that now counts over 100 specialized academies across Professional Boxing, Kickboxing, and MMA.
A Century of Unbroken Legacy
Combat sports in Paraguay are built on a foundation of steel. Since the British introduced boxing over 100 years ago and the first “Boxing Club” was founded in 1917, the country has never stopped fighting. This deep-rooted heritage has evolved into a massive community of high-level athletes ready to take on the world.
The Driving Force: Favio “Potrillo” Romero & the ANB
At the heart of this modern surge is Favio “Potrillo” Romero, the leader of the ANB (Asociación Nacional de Boxeo). While he is the architect behind the strategic growth of boxing in the country, his vision goes further. Romero is a key catalyst in the development of Kickboxing and MMA, providing the leadership and expertise necessary to professionalize every ring and cage in the nation.
The Next Level: New Promotions and Championships
The future of Paraguayan combat sports is moving fast. While the country is currently developing its official promotional circuit, the leaders in charge are working tirelessly to launch new professional Promotions.
The WKN World President is personally committed to this mission, working hand-in-hand with local leadership to bring a prestigious WKN Championship to Paraguay. This ambitious project will soon put the country’s elite fighters under the global spotlight they deserve.
“Paraguay doesn’t just have history; it has an unstoppable future. With the ANB and WKN working together, we are preparing to show the world the true strength of Paraguayan warriors.”
