Burgas is preparing to host one of the largest events in the history of combat sports in Bulgaria. The BRAVE organization will hold its 107th series, which promises to bring together elite fighters, international names, and a large audience to the coastal city.
One of the biggest highlights of the evening will be a super-fight in the K1 format. The most successful Bulgarian kickboxer, Stoyan Koprivlenski, will begin his quest for the K1 MAX World title directly in his hometown. His target is the Dutch fighter Joey Kleinberg, known by his nickname "The Red Devil."
In the preliminary program, we will also be able to watch another world champion – Atanas Bozhilov. The Burgas-based fighter will face the Ukrainian professional Dima Glevka, who is active in three different combat disciplines: K1, MMA, and Muay Thai.
The main fight card of BRAVE 107 is filled with Bulgarian talents who will face serious international opponents:
- Kaloyan Kolev will face Frenchman Salim El Ouassidi (Bison) in a match that could open a path to the light-heavyweight title.
- Pavel Vladev will measure himself against the Greek fighter Muhammet Kir Ahmed.
- Anton Yanchev, who currently holds an undefeated record, will face the experienced Georgian judoka and MMA fighter Bacho Chikaidze.
- Delian Georgiev will defend his record against the Indian Owais Yaqub, who trains with Khabib Nurmagomedov's team.
- Deyan Galinov will face the Frenchman Morgan Gbolu.
- Bozhidar Ivanov will make his BRAVE cage debut against Latvian Richards Ozols.
It is important to note that due to an injury to Nikolay Atanasov, Ochoa will participate in the program, facing Magomed Idrisov – a fighter from Khabib's star team with 12 victories.
