He should call it quits, even the damage from the Saki fight alone hurt my head rewatching it.
No, he is not off. My mistake. There are many restrictions and rules (quarantine) right now, in China are only fighting locals, in Romania before there was the same. Saki is elite, Kemayo only was top. There is difference also between Jones and Gustafsson. Anyway, Munteanu is not a star, he is kind of the promotion protegee. But he can be fun though if he comes out solid, he is respectable heavyweight. Both will be very motivated, Munteanu because he lost in DYNAMITE his first fight after the pandemic and Kemayo because he is training a lot recently. A good reason to end your career with a title.

I am pumped up, just 2 days left until they resume! I hope Golden Fighter is also hosting the event.

If you missed the 2nd professional fight of "Golden Boy" Ștefan Lătescu (18 years old) on kickboxing rules, he is the multiple national champion in Olympic boxing of Romania:

What a fighter Eduard Gafencu! Boom, boom, out of nowhere against a heavier opponent who had been solid until then! He asked his girlfriend to marry him at the end of the match.

RESULTS

https://kickboxingz.com/colosseum-tournament-dey-grand-prix-results (commentary)

Light Welterweight:
Andrei Ostrovanu def. Flavius Boiciuc by 3rd round decision (unanimous)

Welterweight:
Eduard Gafencu def. Alexandru Ianţoc by 2nd round TKO (referee stoppage)

Light Heavyweight: Sebastian Cozmâncă def. Anthony Burger by 1st round TKO (corner stoppage)

Lightweight:
Gabriel Bozan def. Daniel Bolfă by 3rd round decision (unanimous)

Featherweight:

Heavyweight: Alexandru Tironeac def. Alexandru Manolache by 3rd round decision (unanimous)

Bantamweight: Ruben Onișor def. Paul Tolas by 3rd round decision

3 fighters had COVID. So the main-event (Munteanu vs. Kemayo) was off. Solid event on return.

38-year old Manolache is not a kickboxer but fought for a humanitarian cause.

GLORY signs former SUPERKOMBAT WGP winner and ONE challenger Tarik Khbabez
lFrTW6y.jpg

I hope they will use him as light-heavyweight. In my opinion Khbabez worldwide is in the top 3 in the 95 kg category.

The Moroccan now switches from the ONE to Glory Kickboxing. He beat Roman Kryklia in Romania in 2015 in the Superkombat Fighting Championship, at the finals, but failed to win the title from the Ukrainian in One Championship.

Potential contender for Artem Vakhitov! But if they will use Khbabez as a HW, they will be really stupid.

GLORY is excited to welcome new heavyweight Tarik Khbabez.

Moroccan-Dutch heavyweight fighter Khbabez trains under Maikel Polanen at ARJ Trainingen in the Netherlands. Khbabez started his kickboxing career in 2013 and has a professional record of 15 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw, securing wins against top fighters such as Sebastian Ciobanu, Roman Kryklia, Anderson Silva, Ibrahim El Bouni and Andrei Stoica.

“Our heavyweight division was already known as the strongest in the world, but we are constantly on the lookout for new talent. Tarik is a name we had missed: a strong, spectacular fighter. By adding him to the division, we can continue giving GLORY fans what they deserve: the most amazing and sensational fights between the best fighters in the world,” said Robbie Timmers, GLORY Head of Talent.

"The next match is very important for me because then the one for the ONE belt will follow and I really need a victory", concluded Andrei Stoica.

So far they are only advertizing with the multiple kempo world and european champion Mirel Drăgan, but who is not huge on kickboxing rules.

Quite nice main and co-main events. Does Sport Extra is FTA via their website or it will be PPV event?

Colosseum Tournament XXI on FightBox


FightBox is proud to announce that Colosseum Tournament, Romania’s biggest kickboxing promotion, will be live from Bucharest, Romania on Friday November 27th starting at 6:00 pm CET (7:00 pm local time).

Despite tight COVID-19 regulations which prevent many promotions from organizing events, Colosseum Tournament returns to action once again this coming Friday for the promotion’s third event since the onset of the pandemic. The event is entitled “Young Lions” and will focus on finding rising stars on the Romanian kickboxing scene
.

The fight card features the return of Mirel Drăgan who is not only well known for his accomplishments as a multiple kempo karate world and European champion, but also for being Exatlon participant.

There will also be a Colosseum Tournament -65 kg Interim Title Fight when Vlad Trif takes on Marian Lăpușneanu. The current Featherweight Champion is Maxim Răilean. However, due to the COVID-19 restrictions it has been difficult to bring him to Romania to defend the title. So it has been decided that an interim champion be named with the winner to face Răilean for the World Title as soon as it is possible. The full fight card for the evening can be found below.
