Another world title for Golden Glory young rising star Gokhan Saki
February 16th Schiedam Holland
Gokhan Saki continues his 9 win victory streak and becoming World Champion WFCA
After saki’s victory over Magomed Magomedov in Istanbull Turkey last year, Saki was ready for the WFCA heavyweight World Title Fight. Chris Knowles (Knowles brothers from England) was not an easy picked light opponent for Saki, as the weight of Chris was 110 kilo and much taller then Saki.
Saki can always be found in the Golden Glory dojo training with Cor Hemmers and the GG team, he is always training and wants to prove his place is with the last 16 in Japan. He was in great shape and showed great speed for this title fight
The first two rounds Saki is showing unbelievable fast combinations, Saki’s left hook is starting to become a great weapon, but his high kicks and low kicks were already well known (Amada in Japan who could not walk after the second round).
Chris Knowles simply could not do anything against the quick moving Saki, who kept firing hard low kicks to the legs of Chris.
In round three it became to much for Chris and he could not stand on his bruised legs anymore, winner by tko in round three Gokhan “the rebel” Saki (Golden Glory) gaining the WFCA world title.
Congratulations Gokhan Saki who had a busy schedule and is looking forward for his fight on April 26th in the Arena in Amsterdam against Paul Slowinsky
