WKN WORLD TOUR – Official Visit of the WKN World President to Armenia 🇦🇲
For the Development of Combat Sports, International Recognition, and the Spirit of Friendship
From March 10 to 15, the WKN World President is visiting Armenia, a land of great warriors, rich heritage, and millennia-old history, to strengthen ties with key figures in the combat sports scene and further elevate Armenia’s place on the global stage.
A warm and enthusiastic welcome was extended by Mr. Vardan Mnatsakanyan, the leading Armenian promoter and head of Mix Fight, whose invaluable work has played a key role in the growth of combat sports in the country. The WKN has already sanctioned two major events in Armenia in collaboration with Mix Fight, thanks to the strong partnership between the WKN World Office and Mr. Chinto Morillo, a longtime ally of Mr. Vardan.
During this visit, the WKN President had the opportunity to tour Armenia’s first gym fully dedicated to kickboxing, Muay Thai, and martial arts, an elite facility equipped to meet the highest standards of professional fighter training. He also explored some of Armenia’s historical treasures, including one of the oldest churches in the world, reflecting the deep cultural heritage of this nation.
In addition to meeting with Armenia’s combat sports community, discussions have already begun to organize new championships and further promote Armenian fighters on the international scene. With over 50 events already organized under the Mix Fight banner, including two WKN title fights, Mr. Vardan is a prolific promoter whose contribution continues to shape the future of the sport in the region.
To conclude this historic visit, the WKN President will appear on Armenia’s national television tomorrow for an exclusive interview, further solidifying the significance of this collaboration and the promising future of combat sports in Armenia.
