Perm in Russia at the foot of the high Ural Mountains hosted a historic PRO World title fight in Featherweight -58,2 Kg / 128 lbs between two strong Amazons in K-1.

From the Uruguayan capital Montevideo came the No. 1 from Latin America Marilyn CONTIN.

Her opponent Daria KUVAKINA was on the recommendation of the Russian WKF representative FKR  (фкр) and the WKF General Secretary Roman LOGISCH from Germany.

An absolute world championship title fight, truly worthy of the name!

Two Amazons showed their sporting skills, always fair and always correct. Many of the “Internet super champions” from smaller no name associations could take a leaf out of these ladies’ book!

WKF neutral Supervisor Mr. Igor BAYBARA from Sofia, Bulgaria, has done an excellent job and has already confirmed the result and the great hospitality of the Russian organizers.

Story already on russia.wkfworld.com international!

История уже на международном сайте russia.wkfworld.com!

In the first rounds, there were slight advantages for Kuvakina, which three neutral judges gave points for one fighter or the other.

In the fifth and final round, the Russian girl landed a stunning spinning back kick, forcing Contin to the ground and requiring a count by the referee.

Hence the logical unanimous decision for Daria Kuvakina

 

 

At the last World Championship in November 2024 in Spain, the new BOXING championship belts were presented by the World Boxing President Mr. Daniel Z. HIRLAU. He was also nominated Chief Referee by the amazing European Championships 2026 in Moldova, June 22nd to 29th.

Presidents and managers from over 70 nations from six continents were very interested in our serious BOXING / BKFC World division and delighted.

Pierre HERRERA from Chile is the first official world champion in boxing, sanctioned by the WKF, since November 22, 2024

Five current champion belts were presented for viewing by the main office of our World Boxing Federation / BKFC.

From now on we can also confirm worldwide title fights for our best BOXERS and Bare Knuckle Champions – men and women – who would like to compete for real serious title fights in

BOXING / bare knuckle

Blow by blow

and step by step

 

 

Next WKF sanctioned title fights in BOXING is already being scheduled for autumn 2025!

Things continue with two planned events in Poland and Austria and for the first time with a new WKF GEORGIAN team, probably in Tbilisi, as well as a planned event in  Bulgaria and perhaps in Yerevan, Armenia.

Anyone interested in serious boxing and bare-knuckle fighting with our real world federation should contact Daniel Z. HIRLAU by email

An officially sanctioned International Referee Seminar will take place on October 20th in Mielec, Poland.

This seminar will prepare our best international referees for the upcoming 2026 World Championships in Colombia and renew their WKF licenses.

No WKF license, no WKF Referee!

To date, 14 nations from Latin and Central America alone have been confirmed for the World Championships in Cartagena, 2026

Therefore, around 1.000 South Americans – men and women – are expected!

Our friends will be returning with numerous male / female amateur boxers as well. Anyone who attended the last World Championships 2024 in Alicante, Spain, saw the level of our sports friends for themselves. 

The next World Referee Seminar will take place in November 2026 in Cartagena.

WKF HEAD OFFICE work very hard in cooperation with our IRC- “International rules committee”  to train our international officials and referees, to answer protests and requests for the competition rules and to develop our various WKF rules.

 

Our last World referee seminar´s 2023 in Skofije, Slovenia, 2024 in Alicante, Spain and 2025 in Chisinau, Moldova, appointed several new TOP female WKF referees with international licenses.

 

Today we again have

14 female officials worldwide

only with an international WKF referee license.

 

As the world know – our next World referee seminar will be held in Cartagena, Colombia, Sunday just before the WKF World Championships 2026

The next but one World referee seminar will be held in in November 2027, the weekend just before the following

European Championships 

 

Without valid WKF license you are not an official in our World Kickboxing Federation!

Today WKF has more than 140 international licensed referees on 6 continents.

Of these, unfortunately, we only have just 

fourteen international licensed female officials

 

Like all knowledge, World wide more and more strong female champions and athletes are fighting, on tatami and Ring!

Our WKF executive board therefore emphatically requests all our

WKF country presidents

to send more female referees to Cartagen in Colombia to the next World referee seminar in November 2026, in our main Hotel.

 

To all our country presidents World wide:

It’s in your hands and we just need

more female

WKF licensed officials
