On May 3rd, Riga once again became the battleground for high-level stand-up fighting as KOK Fight Night brought a thrilling evening full of intense matchups and major announcements. The event showcased a series of exciting and competitive bouts, keeping the crowd on edge from start to finish.

One of the highlights of the evening was an eight-round war, where Latvian fighter Ralfs Vilcāns secured a hard-fought victory over the determined Georgian Kiziria. The bout showcased Vilcāns’ endurance, focus, and smart strategy, earning him a well-deserved win in front of the home crowd.

In another crowd-pleasing contest, Zaur Dzhavadov overcame the aggressive Dimitri Gulbani. Despite Gulbani’s forward pressure and unrelenting pace, Dzhavadov stayed composed and sharp, controlling the tempo and walking away with an impressive victory.

Following his win against Timasovs, Belmekki made a bold move—he publicly challenged Zaur Dzhavadov for a title fight at the upcoming KOK event in October, set to take place once again in Riga. This call-out immediately captured attention and hints at a fiery clash between two skilled fighters later this year.

Adding even more heat to the October event, it was officially announced that Kristaps Zutis will face Juris Zundovskis in what is shaping up to be the biggest fight on the Latvian combat sports scene. The two fighters have a long-standing rivalry and unfinished business inside the ring. Their history is charged with tension, and this rematch is more than just a fight—it’s personal. Zutis, who previously lost to Zundovskis, has openly stated that if he loses again, he will retire from fighting. With reputations, pride, and possibly a career on the line, this bout promises to be an explosive showdown no fan will want to miss.

KOK Fight Night in Riga not only delivered memorable action but also laid the groundwork for highly anticipated future battles, proving once more that Riga is a growing powerhouse in the world of combat sports.
