The World Kickboxing Network returns to Belgium for the third time in 2019 with the annual "La Nuit des Titans" held at Hall Omnisport in Farciennes on November 24. The event presented by "The Legend" Osman Yigin features a series of Muay Thai and Kickboxing bouts with two WKN titles contested in the headliner of the show.
In the main event Gaetano Pirrello of Belgium squares off against Ahmed Alikada of France. The pair of Muay Thai fighters battles it out for WKN European Super Featherweight title, going head to head in a five-round contest.
Gaetano Pirrello has held amateur world and European titles in super featherweight and welterweight divisions (respectively). The upcoming show will see the representative of Osman Gym contesting for European gold in the professional class.
Ahmed Alikada (15-4) replaced his team-fellow Tristan Caetano. The representative of Team Nas-R K from Saint-Fons (Lyon) is looking to claim a prestigious WKN European belt on the rival territory.
In the co-main event Soufiane Ait Ouccime of Belgium battles it out against Umar Abubakar of Ghana. The winner of a three-round kickboxing encounter will come out as the WKN International Super Welterweight champion.
Over the course of his career Soufiane Ait Ouccime defeated Conan Saelens, Omar Samb, Eddy Sadaoui, among others. He also held ISKA 160-pound European title, as well as challenged for 154-pound world belt, yet dropped the decision against Sergio Sanchez.
