| The Quest for the Title brought upon eight quality kickboxing fights. The adrenaline and tension of the fighters could be felt amongst the fans packed in the Shell Beach Rec Centre for a evening of tough battles.
The headlining fight of the evening was local fighter 25 yr. old 5'11, 142lb Gabriel Varga battling 24 yr. old 6'1' Yoan Ha Van from France for the WKN professional lightweight championship.
Both fighters seemed equally poised in their abilities during the rounds. With this much on the line, neither Varga or Ha Van were showing any weakness in their defence.
A more imposing muscular Varga managed to score more points in the judges score card with relentless knees and full body takedowns resulting in Ha Van seeing the blue canvas on more than one occasion.
It was unanimous decision with Gabriel Varga victorious.
So what is next for the enduring fighting career of our local fighting sensation Gabriel Varga one might ask? ” They are hoping for a rematch with Yohan, but this time in France and then go onto accumulating some more world titles” stated Varga.
All in all it was a great event with all 8 fights providing an entertaining evening of blood ,sweat and tears.
Chase Ingalls put on a good show with superior skills, defeating Fabien Vichi for the WKN amateur world title. The fight of the night was Tina Derix fighting the ever so quick French fighter, Amel Dehby. Derix fought with courage and determination but the night belonged to Dehby, whose incredible speed and hitting power earned her the WKN amateur World title belt. Fight List and others Results:
