The champion of K-1 MAX 2008 will replace to Enrico Gogokhy in fight with Chingiz Allazov

The South African kikbokser from the Netherlands, the Champion of the K-1 MAX tournament 2008, Warren Stevelmans will replace Enrico Gogokhy on the Legend tournament and will battle to the 5-fold World champion in Thai boxing by Chingiz Allazov.

Chingiz Allazov (17-0, 1NC) trains in the well-known club "Chinuk" side by side with K-1 star Hammered with Samedov. The last time Chingiz came to a ring on the GLORY 7 tournament: Milan where met with opytnymmaraty Grigoryan (34-4-1, 1 NC). Unfortunately, the best in this duel didn't manage to be defined – furious fight ended in the first round after casual blow with an elbow performed by Grigoryan. Allazov received a strong section and couldn't continue fight which as a result was recognized as "not taken place".

Stevelmans, Allazov's rival, began the career in 2001 and till 2005 carried out a series of fights without uniform loss. In 2008 I became the winner of K-1 MAX. Met on a ring such fighters, as Georgiou Petrosyan, Albert Kraus and Mike Zambidis. At the beginning of 2011, Stevelmans returned to K-1 MAX 2011 in Madrid. I won a victory over two Spanish opponents, but I couldn't win a title. In 2012 on tournament in Italy won a victory over Jabar Askerov who became the winner of the first Legend tournament in K-1 Grand Prix in May of this year.

Let's remind that Enrico won't be able to take part in tournament in connection with traumatized which doesn't allow it to be prepared for fight fully.

It is already known that Gogokhiya becomes one of the main participants of third "Legend" which will take place at the beginning of March, 2014. Organizers yet don't open a venue, but already precisely it is known that show will take place not in Russia. Enrico: "Unfortunately, it is impossible to act though I very much prepared for this fight. But I can tell that I will return in peak form and I will show spectacular fight whoever, was my future rival".

Ruslan Suleymanov, the president of the combative show "Legend" so commented on a situation: "At the end of November Enrico again will start trainings, and, considering that in the national team of "Club of Single combats No. 1" appears more and more professional athletes on different types of single combats, preparation will be the most various and effective. We plan to bring next year Enrico to level of one of the best athletes of the world in the weight category".
