K-1 President Sadaharu Tanigawa revealed two fights for the K-1 World GP FINAL 16 to be held on October 2 in Seoul, South Korea.
Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion Alistair Overeem will face Ben Edwards who tore through this year’s Oceania GP, scoring three first-round knockouts and Jerome Le Banner, who recently claimed the WPMF Muaythai Super Heavyweight World title will take on current K-1 Heavyweight Champion Keijiro “Kyotaro” Maeda.
Bouts for the K-1 MAX Final 16, which is to be held the following day also in Seoul are to be announced this weekend and more Super-Heavyweight GP bouts are to be announced next Tuesday.
Tanigawa was this week quoted as saying that the much needed financial partnership with Chinese investment bank PUJI has been pushed forward to begin at the end of September and so PUJI money will be supporting the Korean Final 16 events.
