The eyes of the martial arts world were on Cyprus recently with over 1100 martial arts fans on the edge of their seats in Skali Aglandjia (Nicosia) for an exciting night of Kickboxing and Muay Thai.

The packed amphitheatre turned into a fighting arena for international fights of the KOK (KING OF KINGS) world tour.

While the fighters exchanged fast and strong punches and kicks, you could feel the emotions of the spectators. They cheered loudly for their favourite fighters and created a sensational atmosphere.

In total there were more than 10 professional and international fights to watch, with athletes from Cyprus, UK, Greece and Georgia.

The new KOK flyweight champion is Ismail Al Kadhi (Alexy Muay Thai Nicosia)! In an exciting fight, he won by unanimous decision.

The night was streamed worldwide and made Cyprus the centre of the martial arts world for one night.

The event was organised by Alexy Muay Thai Nicosia and All Powers Gym Limassol (www.allpowersgymcy.com).
