“We look forward to return to Africa, and continue to help developing kickboxing on the continent,” said President of World Kickboxing Network, Stephane Cabrera. “Over the years WKN championship events have been held throughout Africa, including such countries as South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Morocco, Uganda, Nigeria, among others. In the early 2000s in many of these countries, the WKN has become a pioneer to promote world championship bouts. We highly anticipate the first WKN championship event in Ghana, promoted by Mr Lawrence Nyanyo Nmai.”

The names of opponents for Abbey and Euro, as well as the rest of the fight card, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. This promotion is an opportunity to give Ghanaian boxers and kickboxers something to do in the post - Covid-19.
