On October 11, Riga will once again become the capital of combat sports, with one of the most anticipated events of the year- KOK’127 World Series at Xiaomi Arena. The night will feature explosive matchups across boxing, kickboxing, and MMA.
Among the evening’s most talked-about fights is the all-Latvian heavyweight clash between Kristaps Zutis and Kristaps Zīle. Both fighters are known for their larger-than-life personalities and raw power inside the ring.
Adding a touch of MMA legend to the event, one of the sport’s most controversial veterans, Gilbert Yvel, will face Latvian heavyweight Arturs Skabarnieks. Yvel’s experience and reputation as a fierce striker will be tested by Skabarnieks’ hunger and local support, setting the stage for a fiery encounter between two fighters from very different generations.
The boxing lineup will be headlined by Karen Chukhadzhian vs. Mohamed Mafauad, a Dream Boxing showdown that has serious international significance. Chukhadzhian, currently ranked among the top 10 welterweights in the world, is known for his speed, sharp defense, and technical brilliance. His opponent, Mafauad, will look to use his unorthodox style and heavy hands to cause an upset and make a name for himself on the global stage. The night will also include a high-stakes IBF Europe title fight between Przemyslaw Zysk and Jevgenijs Alekseejavs, bringing international boxing prestige to Riga.
Another must-see fight features Ragners Dzigurs against Rodrigo Mineiro. Dzigurs represents discipline and precision, while Mineiro brings relentless energy and an unpredictable style. Their fight is more than just a physical contest — it’s a meeting of two mentalities, making it one of the most intriguing matchups on the card.
The KOK’127 World Series is set to showcase everything that makes combat sports so captivating — power, precision, passion, and pride. With a stacked card, world-ranked fighters, and homegrown stars, the October 11 event at Xiaomi Arena promises to be a fight night to remember.
