After seven years away from the spotlight, Vjeceslavs Tevins is stepping back into the KOK ring—and he’s not coming quietly. On May 3rd at the Atta Centre in Riga, the Latvian fighter will make his long-awaited return at KOK Fight Night, facing off against Lithuania’s Vaidas Jagelavicius.

For Tevins, the time away was never a retirement—it was a preparation. While fans didn’t see him in the ring, he was far from inactive. He spent those years immersed in coaching, constantly training, refining his skills, and expanding his knowledge of the fight game. “I wasn’t sitting around growing my belly,” he says with a smirk. His return isn’t a solo move either—it’s a united decision with his team, built on shared belief and unfinished business.

Older, wiser, and sharper, Tevins comes back with a new mindset. The years have given him perspective, maturity, and a deeper sense of purpose. He speaks with calm confidence, like someone who has seen the highs and lows, and is now ready to control the pace of his own story.

Jagelavicius will not be an easy welcome back. A young, technical and active fighter, the Lithuanian recently went toe-to-toe with one of Tevins’s teammates. That alone has earned him Tevins’s full attention. Preparation has been serious, focused, and relentless. “The fight will be interesting,” he says—his tone hinting at something calculated, something brewing.

The excitement in his voice is hard to miss. This return isn’t just about proving something—it’s about expressing something. Tevins promises fans a beautiful, technical, almost artistic performance—like a classic fighter reimagined for a new era. “An aesthetic fight,” he says. “With an updated arsenal, and I’m ready to use it.”
