Were it not for the above post I would not mention it at all on a forum like this. however I had surgery last week (successful), have been coughing up blood/not sleeping properly for days and therefore as a result haven't been working on the show/posting regularly as I would have done. (it was no secret though either). Pat on the back for the sound promoter ethics though, you could have dropped me an email etc.


I will always, always try to keep lineups as current as possible and available to anyone.







We had planned to announce last week the 1st reserve bout which was to be Seb Long (2 Technical) vs Martin Goink (Ko Gym)

However both the first reserve fight fighters have now ended up in the tournament!


Upcoming young North West star Seb Long, who is trained by Paul Kaporwicz, replaces Soloman Wickstead who we have been informed can no longer make 70 kilos as he is a growing lad. Seb will be coming down to 70 kilos just for a chance to fight for the official K-1 Max England!


London's Martin Goink, trained by Bill Judd, replaces Stuart Kemp who is out with a shoulder injury from his last fight. Goink has tremendous KO power and has already beaten both Kerrith Bhella and Mike Egan. He makes an exciting addition to the mix!


The full tournament lineup competing for the prize money now stands as:


Adrian Wedolowski (Grip house)
Kristoffer Addis (Kao Loi)
Kerrith Bhella (Firewalker)
Martin Goink (Ko Gym)
Jake Barton (Elite)
Seb Long (2 Technical)
Mike Egan (Next Gen)
Ben Hodge (Crawley Thaiboxing)





We still have an open reserve slot if anyone is interested please get in touch. The K-1 show will give huge exposure to anyone on it and the reserves have a chance of actually ending up in the tournament as well!
Plus any reserves will be guaranteed to fight on what we have planned next year, which is going to be huge on both sides of the Atlantic.
