KOK returns to Riga with a bang on October 11th, as one of the most anticipated matchups in the welterweight division takes center stage at the Xiaomi Arena. Latvia’s own Zaur Dzhavadov will put his KOK Welterweight (-77 kg) title on the line against rising star Akram Belmekki, a young and fearless challenger fighting out of Morocco.
Dubbed as the battle between the “old wolf” and the “young lion”. Dzhavadov, known for his sharp technique, calm under pressure, and iron will, brings a wealth of experience into the ring as the reigning champion. With the home crowd behind him, he’ll be looking to make a statement and once again prove why he wears the crown.
But Akram Belmekki is no ordinary challenger. The ambitious young fighter has been turning heads with his relentless pace, unshakable confidence, and aggressive style. He comes to Riga hungry — not just for a win, but for a legacy-defining performance.
Don’t miss the action On 11th of October – in Xiaomi Arena – Riga!
