Breaking News straight off the WAKO Ringsports desk
Wez Fagan has been accepted to challenge for a WAKO Pro World title after taking a fantastic win over his French opponent last weekend.
Fagan stopped his opponent in the 5th of a scheduled 12 round World title fight sanctioned under the WFKKO, who are renowned for qualifying fighters of such a high calibre.
Fagan forced 2 counts before a thundering hand combination dropped the Frenchman to his knees. He was deemed unable to continue and Wez’s fans brought the house down, he had a 100+ spectators down in Doncaster Yorkshire, they had also bought every VIP seat in the house and they were proud to witness this great feat.
Wez’s Dad was invited into the ring for the belt ceremony and he was clearly overcome with joy!
“A true champion of champions”
The fight will be proposed for early next year, giving Fagan even more time to prepare in what has already been a successful restructure.
WAKO K1 Rules a great “Hit”
Amir Subasic didn’t take long to accept a once in a lifetime all expenses paid and pursed chance for one of his fighters. Paul Douglas of Storm Gym will fight the reigning Spanish WAKO K1 Rules Champion in his own back yard!
Aitor Eguzkiza is going to be feeling a little confident in front of his home crowd however, Amir Subasic says they are only going over to Bilbao so they can bring back the silverware and Douglas is training very hard for this.
Since the WAKO K1 Rules came to Britain and has been very successful it is nice to see so many more K1 Rules clubs developing and it just adds to the mix and level of the British competitor.
Taggart beats the Russian in Croatia
Leif Taggart has proven he is a force to be reckoned with again as he took Gold medal in his second WAKO K1 rules International competition last month. He won Silver at the Worlds last year and now Gold at the Europeans, he is determined to return next year to become WAKO World Champion.
Watch out for Leif Taggart as he will be appearing on International K1 Rules cards throughout 2010.
Just this week he beat 5 times Savate champion Idriss Galais in a low kick bout, these rules were opted for to make the fight as fair as possible for both fighters as the Savate style does not involve knees or clinching.
The Anvil
Aaron Robinsons recent win on his return to the ring in an International Pro Prestige fight could be the key factor he needed to secure him another European title shot, this time under WAKO Pro. Coach, Jez Hall of 7K’s Chikara will be discussing what weight Aaron will be contending at next and then plans can be made. A strong fight off Aaron stamped his authority on the scene!
Quiet Girl Kerry-Louise ready to rock
Months and months of training have been put in for Kerry-Louise’s challenge out in Austria next week at the WAKO Adult World K1 Rules Championships. Training at the Falcon Fight Academy in Sheffield under Master Cris Janson-Piers 6 days a week and other than that training at camps outside the country,
including high altitude training at Club La Santa Lanzarote or back in the UK at Bad Company under private tuition from Mr Richard Smith and SDF Sheffield under Paul Powers and the team. Kerry-Louise is also hoping the helping hand from Mr Daeng recently and Chanoy just this last week will also prove productive. Kerry-Louise said “I know it’s going to be hard, it’s not just winning it’s trying to stay away from possible injury in the preliminary rounds and keeping focus over the 4 days of competing!”
