A host of fights and participants were announced recently for Malta’s Largest ever, K-1 and Kickboxing national championships, including a titanic clash between two local world champions and a world title defense by a local female kickboxing athlete.

The event takes place June 28, at 'Stitch Club' Tal-Balal, San Gwann, Malta, (doors open at 8Pm) and the night's lineup guarantees a night of all action entertainment and scores which will be settled between the ropes.  .

Confirmed bouts include: WKN world and European champion (Amateur) in K-1 and Kickboxing, Daniel “The Jet” Zahra against WUMA recently crowned world champion, “Super” Steve Martin. This fight in the 70 Kg division, which will be fought under K-1 rules, will have on the line Malta’s first ever national K-1 title at this weight. This fight has all the promise to be a memorable clash of non stop punching and kicking action, as both contenders have had a quite grudge simmering on the backburner for some time.
