🇵🇹First Fighter Announced for the WKN World Championship at the Américo Festival !
The WKN proudly reveals the first selected fighter to compete for the World Championship at the upcoming Américo Festival in Portugal: Pavel Zanet.
At just 24 years old, Zanet Pavel represents a new generation of elite fighters. Competing out of Osman Gym from Legendary Yigin Osman, he brings an impressive professional record of 25 fights, with 22 victories, including 14 wins by knockout, 1 draw, and only 2 defeats. These numbers reflect not only his consistency, but also his power and determination inside the ring.
For this exceptional event, he will uniquely represent the prestigious SL Benfica in Lisbon, a historic institution with which the WKN has maintained a strong relationship for more than 20 years. This collaboration further elevates the status of the event and highlights the deep roots of combat sports within major sporting organizations.
Zanet Pavel is widely considered a “complete engine” fighter, combining technical precision, physical strength, and mental resilience. His profile perfectly matches the high standards required for a WKN World pro/am Championship contested under the official rules of the square ring.
His participation sets the tone for what promises to be a high-level, international competition. More fighters will be announced soon, but one thing is already clear: the level will be exceptional.
