Richard William's
Golden Cobra Promotional Team The Real Winners Tonight...
But Ortiz Takes Home
The IKF GOLD!

When one thinks of the word "Promoter" we come up with many things. However, if one of those definitions happens to mean "Bringing EVERYONE Together for a purpose of exposure to someone or something.", IKF Arizona Promoter Richard Williams' photo will be next to that definition. This past weekend Williams used his connections throughout the town of Cottonwood and Camp Verde, Arizona to bring together a full day of action and entertainment for the Verde Valley. With the gracious help of Steve Coury donating his two dearlership facilities and his land, Williams and his massive "Golden Cobra Team" organized a day of entertainment. However, the nights entertainment would not be possible if not for his massive supporting staff! From those who donated time, money and energy to those fighting in the ring, this event may have been small town, but it had BIG City Success! From the Hotel staff to the venue crew, we can't give enough praise here to cover them all!

While the Golden Cobra Team worked hard finalizing weeks of work leading up to this day throughout the morning hours, the IKF staff conducted the fighter weigh-ins and registrations. By 1:PM, the action started with "Mud bog" competition. Dozens of custom 4x4 trucks made their way into line to give there all at crossing a deep pit of mud as fast as they can. When we were first told about this, we had our reservations. However, it's like an individual who is not sure they like sight sports... Until they attend a Fight Sport event LIVE! Such was the case with William's Mud Bog idea, which not only drew a crowd, but kept a crowd all through the day.

After the Mud Bogs came a live band as the Golden Cobra Team made the switch over from Mud Bog viewing to seats around the Golden Cobra Team's new Boxing ring. By 6:30 PM, under the Verde Valley sky, this outdoor fight event was ready to begin. Amateur boxing got the crowd going as 8 Junior amateur boxers went at it.

When boxing was done it was time for the IKF Muay Thai. We always hear about certain people in the crowd that go unnoticed whether it be a ring official, trainer, etc. However, what we had at ringside was someone who really needs to be noticed, and not just the fact that he was one of the nights IKF Judges, but because of what this man has accomplished throughout his life. IKF Fight judge Spanky Spangler has been much more than an IKF judge in his past and present years.

Spangler is more known for being a daredevil and theatrical stunt man who holds the world record distance for a jump performed in an automobile at 328 feet (100 meters). The most common stunt that he performs is jumping off a platform or hot air balloon over 150 feet in the air into an air bag on the ground. Another notable Spangler stunt is a successful jump over the Rio Grande in a rocket-powered truck. Prior to becoming a stunt man, Spangler was the youngest ever Green beret in the United States Army.

Lee Majors also was to co-star with stuntman Spangler in a US pilot series called Hollywood Stunts that featured greats like Robbie Knievel, Matthew J. Phillips, George Nelson and Ron Nix. Spangler currently holds 23 World records and is a regular performer at Evel Knievel Days in Butte, Montana. He often works behind the scenes as a stunt coordinator for Robbie Knievel among others.

Well that pretty much lays out the foundation of the event, but the true heart of it all were the Gladiators in the ring! From the smallest of the Junior Amateur Fighters (50 lbs) to the nights main event, this event had something to offer everyone from start to finish. As for the Junior Amateur Boxing bouts, there was one fight that had an additional twist to it... One that made it the boxing fight of the night, as well as one that may have shown Arizona half of a future Movie Star Team.

Speaking of celebrities, we may have seen one in the making this past weekend...
Amateur "OPEN CLASS" Junior Boxers Saxon Vaughan and Osvaldo Hernandez put on quite a show as the two most experienced boxers went toe to toe for 3 hard rounds. In the end, Hernandez would take the decision. However, Saxon Vaughan and his long dreadlocks may someday be looking at a movie career with close brother Talon Vaughan. At this years IKF West Coast Classic in Sacramento California, the two brothers added some kicks to their ring experience as the two tried their hand at Kickboxing for the first time. In the end, 15 year (11-6-97) old Saxon Vaughan went 1-1, winning his first bout by decision, but losing in the final by decision. His 15 year old brother (11-18-96 -not twins, but close in age) Talon Vaughan. (Who's a shoe in as a Brad Pitt double or young Stan Longinidis!) though went on to win his West Coast Classic title by unanimous decision.

These two brothers pack some punch as amateur boxers with Talon sporting a record of 14-6 and brother Saxon now 15-6. Although Talon didn't fight on this night he was right there at ringside supporting his brother. These two are for sure a Great Team and we may find them on a fight poster soon as the "Fighting Vaughan Boys!" With their father supporting them both as a father and a trainer, and lets not forget mom too! :), they will have their hands full with the potential these two have in their lives. If you have failed to get their autograph by now, you may want to get it next time... These two have a Hollywood look and the skills of a Champion any Movie Executive should see coming a hundred miles away!

When it came time for the IKF Muay Thai, the IKF Arizona Officials Team assisted with IKF World Ambassador Brooks Mason and IKF World Muay Thai referee Mike Storm both of Omaha, Nebraska along with IKF Event Representative and IKF President Steve Fossum of California worked together like clockwork to keep everything running fair, safe and smooth.

The undercard bouts were mainly Junior bouts and all exciting to watch. The Semi Main event saw first time fighter Joshua Vancza of Cottonwood, Arizona dazzle the crowd with his many spinning head kicks that brought the crowd to their feet. Although he had some issues with balance on some of them, if he keeps training and gets a few more bouts under his belt, some of the kicks he was throwing tonight are likely to end some bouts for him in the future by head kick KO! When the bout came to an end, Vancza took the win over Gilbert Pimentel of Chandler, Arizona by split decision, 29-28, 29-28 & 28-29.

MAIN EVENT!
The nights main event lived up to all everyone had hoped it to be. IKF Light Heavyweight USA Champion Cecil Tudor of Glendale, Arizona, USA (16-11-0/8, 170, 5'11") had worked his way up the ladder in hopes for the ultimate title shot. He won his first IKF title, the IKF Amateur Modified Muay Thai Rules US Southwest Regional title on June 26th, 2010 in Cottonwood, Arizona, USA when he defeated IKF USA Southwest Regional Cruiserweight Champion Frank Bamford of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (11-4-1) by unanimous decision, 49-46, 48-47 and 48-47. Since the bout was so close, the two rematched, but this time for the IKF USA Title back on October 15th, 2011 right here in Camp Verde, Arizona. Tudor won the rematch more decisively and took home his second piece of IKF Gold as he defeated Bamford on all score cards 48 - 46.

As many have learned over the years, Champions of the IKF World Classic are always ranked number 1 in the IKF Amateur World Rankings. This is because it's an open tournament and if a fighter want's to "Create their own opportunities", the best chance to do so is at the IKF World Classic Tournaments! It seems that kickboxers can win all kinds of "Tournament" titles around the world today, but NO OTHER Amateur Tournament offers fighters more opportunities than the IKF World Classic!

It was for this very reason 2011 IKF World Classic Champion Sergio Ortiz of Escazi, San Jose, Costa Rica (10-1-1/6, 170.6, 5'8") made the trip last year to Orlando Florida, and why many others will make the very same journey there this year. Lets face it fight fans, How would any of us have heard of many of the great fighters and great Champions we write about here on the IKF News page if not for the IKF World Classic Tournament! From multi time IKF Tournament Champions such as Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson to Champions like Sergio Ortiz who found himself stepping into the fight ring thousands of miles from home to fight for the IKF WORLD Title, the biggest thing the IKF World Classic offers every fighter is OPPORTUNITY! Opportunity NO OTHER Tournament can offer!

Ortiz took the IKF World Classic title after winning two Tournament bouts. His first round win was against Joe Merritt of Little Rock, Arkansas, USA by split decision, 29-28, 29-28 & 28-29. In his tournament Championship bout he defeated Joseph Boffi of Carmel, New York, USA by unanimous decision, 29-28 on all 3 judges cards.

In Ortiz' corner was another 2011 IKF World Classic Champion Raul Bustamante. Having a great trainer is a blessing enough, but also having your cornerman as a past Champion adds to the mix of strategy. Bustamante won his IKF World Classic title under International Rules. In doing so, he first defeated previous IKF World Classic Champion Clinso C. Brumfield IV (30-5/20, AB: 12-4-0/8) by split decision, 30-27, 29-28 & 28-29. In his title bout he defeated Justin Smith of San Diego, California, USA by majority decision, 29-27, 29-27 & 28-28.

Ortiz' had been busy in Muay Thai for some time prior to his IKF World Classic appearance. However, as he explained, there just are not any true Muay Thai promoters in his country, so he is forced to travel to find bouts elsewhere. Having never fought since last years IKF World Classic in July, some thought Ortiz would be a little slow and soft. Well, if so, he only showed it in round 1. Round 1 was a typical slow start for both fighters, as each tried to test the waters of each others depths of skill. It was no surprise that Tudor though scored more as he knew he needed to get the jump on Ortiz. All 3 judges saw round 1 10-9 Tudor.

Round 2 is where the bout took a drastic turn, and stayed it's course for the remainder of the fight. As each round past it appeared Ortiz became stronger and stronger while Tudor was getting more and more tired. What a made the true difference in this fight was not simply technique, but the ongoing strength of Ortiz. Ortiz' strength from round to round was persistent. He landed everything from a simple jab to some quick and strong elbows. In the clinch he overpowered Tudor so much that Tudor couldn't even turn him to the ropes. Round after round Ortiz wore Tudor down more and more. He used a finely tuned strategy that worked to perfection. Nothing fancy, and not really anything with knockout power, he was just persistent in every strike he threw. Don't get us wrong... It's not that some of what Ortiz threw couldn't knock out someone. what we are saying is that he didn't get careless and go for the knockout. If it came, it came, but there was no big risky attacks in hopes of a quick end.

By the end of round 5, all 3 judges had agreed that Ortiz had won every round after the first and there was no doubt to those at ringside either. As the judges cards were read, Ortiz took the win 49-46 on all 3 judges cards, and with it, became the new IKF Amateur Full Muay Thai Rules World Champion! Congratulations to both fighters as well as Cecil Tudor who "Walked the Walk" and took his shot for the World Title on this night. It's just that on this night, Sergio Ortiz was the one who proved to be the better fighter, and the New World champion!

Great fights by EVERYONE and a Great job by the Golden Cobra Promotional Team! We look forward to the next one, which as we have been told, may be in June.

Gary Manogue (Galway) lands a right body shot on Mouim Issilahy (France)




The sleepy village of Ramelton in Co. Donegal on the beautiful North West Coast of Ireland with a population of 900 people was rocked to its knees on Saturday night when IKF promoter Joe Wilson put on an International Kickboxing fight night featuring some of Irelands top fighters taking on International competition from the UK and France. Over half the population of the village was there to witness local hero Darryl Orr take on current IKF British Champion Sam Reeves of Cleveland, England for the vacant IKF 5 Nations Welterweight Title.

The anticipation and the asthenosphere was Electric!
Reeves entered the ring looking fit and extremely focused on the job in hand, to a quiet but respectful reception and it was obvious that the fight fans were holding back their enthusiasm as when Orr was called, the roof almost came off the building! The young and old getting behind their hero.

The fight lived up to all expectations as both men gave their all but Orr seemed to be that little bit stronger in the exchanges and landed the bigger shots to end each round. Reeves came to fight however and pushed the Donegal Warrior to the limit. Orr caught him with a well placed right hook to the body early in the 5th round which dropped the brave Englishman to his knees and the writing was now on the wall. After taking an 8 count from referee Mick Burke, Reeves got stuck right back in the action. However Orr was on fire now and teed off on his target, landing shot after shot and it was a testament to the fitness of both men that the fight went to the final bell such was the pace throughout.

The fight fans were at fever pitch now as they awaited the decision of the judges, who had each travelled over 200 miles to the event. When the MC announced Darryl Orr as the new champion, the party began.

Mr. Wilson put together an action packed undercard also which featured his wife Amy take on a very determined Melanie Pelissier from France in an exciting four round contest which went the distance with Amy getting the nod. Local fighter Ciilin Boyce who is the current IKF All Ireland Featherweight Champion scoring a close points victory over game Englishman Shaun Little. Ten year olds Alex Fitzpatrick from Tuam and Gary Manogue from Castlepark in Galway City who both fight out of the Galway Black Dragon Kickboxing club also travelled to Ramelton to take part in the International kickboxing fight night. Alex was the first fight of the night and he took on young Patrick Mc Fadden from the home team in a rematch which went Mc Faddens way the last time out. But this time the determined young warrior from Tuam turned it around and earned a well deserved points victory from all three ringside judges.

Gary Manogue, who is the current IKF 5 Nations Super Welterweight Champion, took on one of Frances finest and certainly one of his hardest fights to date, Mouim Issilahy, in a vicious four round contest. Issilahy, a Muay Thai specialist, is probably one of the hardest pound for pound kickers in the game and this was clearly evident when he unloaded on Manogue as the bangs could be heard all around the packed sports hall. It took Manogue a round or two to figure out the tough Frenchman. After which, he started landing some bombs of his own but Issilahy was dangerous to the end until Manogue caught him with a crisp body hook which slowed him down and the referee gave him an eight count. The action continued and halfway through the fourth round Manogue caught Issilahy with a straight left punch followed by a right hook to the temple and the brave Frenchman was out on his feet. Referee Mick Burke from Dublin waved it off giving Manogue victory by TKO and increasing his fight record to a perfect 16 and 0.

Manogue will travel to Florida in July to take part in the IKF World Classic Championships along with clubmates Charlie Ward, Nicola Collins and coach Pete Foley.

Pat Vanlandingham, Billy Roberts and David Ayers were all dead on the money with the judging. Great fights. Well done. These folks were ready for IKF and ISCF! Well done Donnie. It was a pleasure.

IKF Muay Thai Kickboxing Show for
Cinco De Mayo
A Fight Fiesta for the World!

4 title fights and a super undercard makes for a great fight party for all to see!
May 5th, 2012, Oakland Convention Center, Oakland, California, USA!
Arcangle VS Chasteen....... Nahe VS Balentien....... Hurny VS Grant....... Gonzales VS Clay


On Saturday May 5th, 2012, there will be fighting events held around the world from Las Vegas to New York City. However, for the Muay Thai Kickboxing community in California, all eyes will be on the action at the Oakland Convention Center where California based Johnny Davis' AK Promotions will be putting on its largest show to date packed with world class action! It will be a fight party for sure - decorated with lots of lights, cameras, jamming music combined with tons of great food and beverages that will make Las Vegas take a double take!

Fight fans will have a place to be on Cinco De Mayo in Oakland, California! Some will choose to stay at home and enjoy other fights on the tube but for sure, thousands more will make their way out to witness some of the best standup fighting action in the world! Tickets are already starting to move for this event and many more are expected to sell as this show, loaded with some of the best fighters in the world, may SELL OUT the 2000+ seat venue! Those remotely on the fence about attending this world class Kickboxing Fight Fiesta should not wait long to get their tickets as this show will be a keeper for the world of Muay Thai Kickboxing!

In the Main Event, current IKF Super Welterweight World Champion T.J. Arcangle of San Francisco, California will be embroiled in the fight of his life. His challenger, Nick Chasteen of Phoenix, Arizona is a fighter with numerous championship belts to his credit and is coming to take Arcangle's title. No one should doubt his ability to defeat Arcangle for this championship. Although, highly talented, T.J. Arcangle who stands at 5'9" tall, is one the most skilled Muay Thai technicians in the amateur ranks and will have to be sharper than ever. Word has it that the 6'0" Chasteen knows how to use his height and reach "if he gets you hurt, he comes in to finish you" says one who is very familiar with Chasteen's fighting ability.


**T.J. Arcangle

This anonymous person also said that he (Chasteen) was slightly more complicated than many others in the Arizona area and although he admits he does not know much about Arcangle, he knows that Chasteen is focused and is coming for the championship..."no one should take this kid lightly, he is very, very good!" he said adamantly!

For sure, Chasteen DOES carry himself like a true professional! In observing him at a recent event working a fellow fighter's corner, the hotel's gym was his favorite hangout. It was all about business for him even if he was not fighting. Its clear that Chasteen will come in great shape and very prepared to do all he can to leave a world champion!

Arcangle won his IKF World title back in October 2011 in Oakland at the Convention Center when he soundly defeated veteran Muay Thai and multiple champion Johan Hamm of Canada. It's clear that Arcangle is gaining confidence as a world champion. Since winning his world title, Arcangle stopped a fighter in Redwood City, California only a few weeks ago in three rounds as a warm-up for Chasteen. He wanted to make sure that the message was loud and apparent that he too is in it to win it and you have to bring some... to get some!

These two senior-veteran amateur fighters at the cusp of their professional careers want to own one of the most covenant amateur world championships in the game right now...The IKF World title! Both men have no plans to leave it to the judges, as they know their legacy is on the line. Arcangle's trainer, Kru Sam Phimsoutham of San Francisco, California is soft spoken in his approach to every fight. However, one can tell that this particular fight means a lot to him as he knows one of his most talented fighters will have to give his best that night to walk out of the ring still a champion.

Chasteen's trainer and promoter, Bob Karmel of Arizona, has been in this fight business for as long as anyone and knows the art like the back of his hand. One could watch the featured video on the IKF events page that gives every indication that he is a traditional artist and sincere about the sport of Muay Thai Kickboxing. He also understands the importance of this bout to the point that he cancelled one of ongoing Muay Thai Shows in Arizona to ensure that he is with his fighter and giving the fight the attention it deserves.

Arcangle vs Chasteen, should make the fight-world stand up and take notice to the great sport of Muay Thai Kickboxing! If anyone ever wanted to see how Muay Thai Kickboxing has evolved, you must be at the Oakland Convention Center to see this and all the fights and festivities LIVE on May 5th! Arcangle vs Chasteen will be a war fitting for a Cinco De May Fight Fiesta!


Moreover, this Cinco De Mayo event will host one of the most anticipated female Junior bouts on the planet! For sure there will be a huge difference in the lives of two young ladies who at press time are training like Rocky Balboa in a Rocky Movie to be ready for the biggest test of their young Kickboxing careers. We're talking about the talented Tisha Balentien of the Netherlands who will be taking on Katrina "The Storm" Nahe of Antioch, California, USA for the IKF Junior Bantamweight World Championship.

Some may ask about the Chili Peppers shown above... Chili Peppers are very popular in the Mexican community and known for their spicy and hot taste. Therefore, it's only fitting to point attention to the obvious connection to this Cinco De Mayo Fight Fiesta.

To put it simply, the Balentien vs Nahe battle is expected to show two non-stop Gladiators involved in a spicy but brutal battle with each fighter garnering raw and honest intentions to overcome the other!

There is no doubt tensions will be high and it will be a nerve racking experience for all involved. From the promoter's preparations for this event which have been intense in making sure the show is produced to what is deserving for this type of event; The trainers will be tired and irritable for the extra labor they've put into their fighter to make sure they are at their best!

Parents of course will be on edge due to just the simple fact that its
'Their Baby'
in that ring going for their dreams; The fans, oh the fans will be in a fury cheering on their pick to push to the finish line and have their hands raised at the end of the furious battle!

All of these emotions will not matter as much as one thing...and that is how the young ladies respond to the pressures that surely comes with an event like this. What matters is when they step into the ring and 'eye down' their opponent and whether they are prepared to demonstrate the brilliance they developed since their early childhood.


Tisha Balentien

In the end, their performance in the ring that night is all that really matters. Every heartbeat and every ounce of their being will be called upon to overcome their adversary. Imagine being a teen waking up every morning with just one thing on your mind...winning your world championship! Trust this, these two teen prodigies, both with great accomplishments already, will kick, punch and knee... giving their all for the opportunity to walk out a world champion on May 5th and that alone will make for one of the most exciting fights the sport has ever seen! No one knows the outcome today but somewhere in the late night hour on May 5th, there will be a new IKF Junior World Champion gleaming to the world, yes,
I took the test and yes, I'm the best"!

Another great match up for the evening will be a toe to toe battle for heavyweight authority!

Gary Grant who lives in Antioch, California but will be fighting out of Oakland, California and will be chinning it up with former IKF United States Super Heavyweight Champion John "Big Sexy" Hurny of San Jose, California who is trained by well known coach Kirian Fitzgibbons of Dublin, California.

Hurny, who is now stepping down to the Heavyweights after losing his title to current IKF Super Heavyweight World Champion Xavier Vigney of Concord, California, will fight Grant for the

IKF
West Coast Heavyweight
Championship.

Hurny and is a brawler with big punches and hard head kicks! Both men have a lot to prove and both really want this title shot. Grant has been churning for a title opportunity for the past few years and has finally earned his chance and you better know that he will be banking on his charisma and techniques to pull him through what may very well be an awesome battle of big men to the delight of everyone in the
Oakland Convention Center on May 5th!

In another main event Muay Thai Kickboxing bout that evening will be lightweights in action in what looks to be an excellent match up for the IKF Western United States Lightweight Muay Thai Championship in full rules, which includes the use of elbows. This match will be one that should kick off the main events with a bang! Alec Gonzales who is an excellent Muay Thai technician and who is trained by Kru Trey Howard of Vallejo, California will be attempting to upgrade his status as he hopes for a world title shot down the road. Howard and his camp of fighting machines have been mopping up titles and are seen as a major threat where ever they show up.

Gonzales' opponent will be Arizona State United States Muay Thai Association (USMTA) Champion Travis Clay of Arizona. Clay is trained by Professional Muay Thai fighter Thiago Azerado who has a lot of confidence in his fighter's ability. Clay and Gonzales, two 132 pound fighters that will demonstrate speed, power, technique and explosiveness and should be a great clinical fight showing authentic Full Rule Muay Thai action!

Along with all of the aforementioned great fights, there will be approximately 12 more bouts on the under card that will be an awesome display for May Thai Kickboxing. Fighters coming from across the state will be eager to prove they are the best at their weight class. Friends, family and fight fans will travel afar to witness to awesome display of courage, talent and unbelievable athleticism!

IKF Muay Thai Kickboxing events promoted by Johnny Davis' AK Promotions have grown tremendously in popularity and this will be one of their largest and most exciting cards in he Bay Area!

IKF Promoter Michael Burke once again put on a fantastic show at his latest venue, the beautiful Dunboyne Castle in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, Ireland.

Four of these were for IKF All Ireland titles and the main event was a Pro K-1 (Modified Muay Thai) Rules bout.

The show went off without a hitch and all the fighters were fit and well prepared by their respective camps especially the the title fighters. all of these contenders were evenly matched and all but one of them went the distance. It was great to see such big support from each club at the show to spur on their fighters and it certainly made for a very exciting asthenosphere.

Dates To Note About
THE FIRST DEADLINE DATE OF
JUNE 8th, 2012!



  1. WHAT HAPPENS AT FIRST DEADLINE OF JUNE 8th, 2012?


SPECIAL GUEST
Don "THE DRAGON" Wilson


"The DRAGON"
Will Be In the House At The
IKF World Classic!

Although he would still step into the ring with anyone today, in 2002 at age 47, Don "The Dragon" Wilson entered the ring for what would be his last real kickboxing bout. Wilson had continued his undefeated comeback streak since winning his IKF World Title back in 1999 with his 3rd victory in 3 tries (2 wins by KO/TKO and 1 by decision). in the bout, Wilson faced off against pro kickboxer Eddie Butcher of Baltimore, MA, USA where in round 6, Wilson landed an overhand right that put an end to Butcher.

After that fight his Professional Kickboxing Record stood at 71 wins, 5 loses and 2 draws with 47 wins coming by the Knockout. He has been regarded as one of the greatest kickboxer of all time. This year, as every year, up and coming Amateur Kickboxers will get a chance to rub shoulders with him all weekend long because "The DRAGON" will be "In The House" at this years 2012 IKF World Classic Amateur Championship Tournament! in Orlando, Florida, USA.

During his career Don won a total of 11 World Titles with several Sanctioning bodies that included the IKF, WKA, KICK, ISKA, STAR and the PKO. Never backing down from a challenge, Don has fought champions all around the world, in Hong Kong, Japan, Italy, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Thailand, Las Vegas and countless other locations.

In 1999 at 45 years of age, (Left) Don stepped back into the ring to fight for the vacant IKF Pro, FCR Cruiserweight World Title on May 15th, 1999 in Lowell, Massachusetts, USA against Dick Kimber for what is still this day, the highest kickboxing purse EVER paid, $150,000.00 and some additional training expenses. Kimber swore to everyone that he'd have the fight over before the fifth round. However when the Dragon unloaded on Kimber in round three, Kimber dropped to the mat and referee Dan Stell counted him out on the floor, a count that went into the round break. Kimber never stood during the count and to this date, Kimber never fought again. It had been over eight years since Don last entered the ring, but his trademark sidekick was stronger than ever. Wilson picked up the IKF Cruiserweight World Title for his efforts and Kimber kept his promise when this one was over in round 3. In 2001, having never been challenged for his title, Wilson Voluntarily Retired it to move down to the Light Heavyweight Division.

Over his career Wilson fought and defeated many Great fighters such as James Warring, Demetrius Edwards, Maurice Smith, Dennis Downey, Dennis Alexio, Branimir Cikatic, Mike Winkeljohn, Herb Thompson, Greg Smith, Muhammed Ashraf Tai, Panya Sornnoi, Pongdienoi Prasobchai, Rob Salazar, and a very controversial Draw against Jean-Yves Theriault which many thought Wilson clearly won.

After his first retirement from the ring, Wilson went on to yet another level of stardom as an action movie star. Movies to his credit include: The Last Sentinel (2007), Soft Target (2006), Sci-Fighter (2004), Stealing Harvard (2002), Redemption (2002), Moving Target (2000), The Capitol Conspiracy (1999), Whatever It Takes (1999), Inferno aka Operation Cobra (1998), Hollywood Safari (1997), Papertrail (1997), Night Hunter (1996), Virtual Combat (1996), Bloodfist VIII: Trained to Kill (1996), Cyber-Tracker 2 (1995), Bloodfist VII: Manhunt (1995), Batman Forever (1995), Ring of Fire 3: Lion Strike (1995), Bloodfist VI: Ground Zero (1995), Terminal Rush (1995), CyberTracker (1994), Red Sun Rising (1994), Bloodfist V: Human Target (1994), Out for Blood (1993), Ring of Fire II: Blood and Steel (1993), Bloodfist IV: Die Trying (1992), Blackbelt (1992), Bloodfist III: Forced to Fight (1992), Ring of Fire (1991), Future Kick (1991), Bloodfist II (1990), Bloodfist (1989) and Say Anything... (1989).

During this time Don married well known Film and Television Makeup artist Kathleen Karridene in 1996. They have three children together; Jonathan, Drayden, and Aubrianna. Over the course of his career Don won 11 world titles in 3 different weight divisions, something no other fighter has accomplished. Here is a list of his 11 World titles and some of his awards.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BELT BABY!!!

As many here know, the IKF Tournament has ALWAYS Provided The
VERY BEST BELT AWARDS
of ANY Amateur Kickboxing or Muay Thai Tournament in the World!

However, it doesn't stop at the Belts! Every Year the IKF makes sure that EVERY FIGHTER walks away with special gifts that value far more than the entree fee they pay to register into the tournament. Keep in mind we are talking about an entree fee that has stayed the same since 2002 of only $55.00! To add, when you become an IKF World Classic Champion, you better have help at ringside to carry out more than just your IKF World Classic Title Belt! Every year the IKF awards additional gifts to all the Champions. Over the years, these additional "Champion Awards" have included items such as Champion Hats, Champion Sweatshirts, Champion Jackets, Special Trophy Awards, Autograph Gloves, Champion Certificates, just to name a few. This year will be no different as the IKF already has a LOAD of Awards scheduled to give out to the 2012 IKF World Classic Champions!

Below you can see some of the belts of past IKF World Classic Tournaments. This years Belts will be revelled in May, and we can assure you, if your looking for something DIFFERENT than in past years, THIS WILL BE THE YEAR! We can't give any hints just yet, but we assure you, this years IKF World Classic Belt will be the most Dynamic Belt EVER! Lets hope your wearing one around your waste come Championship Sunday!

See you in Orlando!

"The saying in football is that on any given Sunday any team can win. The champions of our sport will have no easy time at the IKF Championships as the best of the best come to meet the challenge. Fighters rise to the task when faced with great talent and our returning champions surely provide that. Don't hand out the belts quite yet as new talent will certainly emerge and increase the field of fighters to watch. I am positive there will be great fights for all the belts and we will enjoy the best tournament in America. Looking forward to seeing all of you."

This coming July we will all celebrate the "20 YEAR CREATION" of the International Kickboxing Federation (For full History, click HERE) Sitting in a Denny's Restaurant in July of 1992, Steve Fossum (Left) & Dan Stell (Right) and a few kickboxing students found themselves complaining about the status of the amateur kickboxing ranks in California. No one knew who the top fighters were because no one kept track of any rankings. Titles were simply put together from two fighters a promoter happened to match up, not from being qualified. There was clear frustration coming from true, credible competitors and trainers in the sport at the time as it was basically a "Good Ol Boy" system, at least in California at the time. If you knew the top promoters, your fighters would get a title shot. If you didn't, no matter how good you were, you may go unnoticed for your entire career. Still, even those getting title shots were not given these shots because they were top contenders. They were simply given these shots because their trainers were "Friends" of the promoters or if they promised to sell a lot of tickets or they were buying their own belts and paying their own sanctioning fees. However, sanctioning fees were a JOKE during these times! All a promoter got from paying a sanctioning fee was the rights to put some letters and a logo on their poster. There was no media coverage offered by any of the sanctioning bodies, let alone a website. There was no central media database that announced upcoming events. Heck, as a trainer, if you were not in the "Matchmakers Book" of the only "THREE" matchmakers on the west coast, you had to pretty much BEG to get your fighters on an event, and lord help you if you didn't have a trainer... Needless to say, the sport was an unorganized MESS!

From the frustration though came an idea... An idea to TRULY organize the sport! Within the night, Fossum and Stell decided they could either continue to complain or they could do something about it. So they decided to do something all fighters are asked to do on any and all IKF sanctioned events today... Instead of talking about what they could do, should do, or how good they THOUGHT they were" they made a decision to "DO" something about the unorganized frustration and from their thoughts which turned into action, the very first act of "Walking The Walk" in the IKF was born, as the IKF itself!


The very first IKF logo with a
Muay Thai Fighter and a
Kickboxer in a boxing stance.

That night Fossum and Stell laid out the beginning ideas of the IKF along with the logo idea on a napkin... Yes... A Napkin... On this night the two created the foundation of the IKF from their knowledge and experience as past Kickboxers (Over 100 bouts between them and multiple titles), Trainers of Champions and Kickboxing Event Promoters. They didn't just want to make up letters like many promoters did to form their own sanctioning body and their own champions (As many still do today). They wanted to "JUSTIFY" to everyone else why their organization was going to improve the sport and be better than any of the others. They felt if they couldn't make a "Better Product", WHO would ever want to associate with them? Anyone can COPY something but if it were BETTER, than the sport would benefit along with its participants on every level. So the goal in the beginning was always to be BETTER the sport, make it more organized and offer MORE for the price one paid for it. Not just duplicate another organizations rules as many continue to do today around the world. Fossum and Stell were not making the product for themselves to use on their own promotions. They wanted to please the entire kickboxing world. So they looked at the state of kickboxing and came up with several great ideas that all focused around their main goal, To "ORGANIZE Everyone Together." This included Trainers, Promoters, Fighters and Officials. They wanted to somehow give them all recognition for their work!

Muay Thai Fighter but
showing the Kickboxer Kicking.

How? Well to begin with, they decided to create an official IKF Rankings book, known eventually by all kickboxers as "The BOOK!" However, what made this book exceptional was their idea to list the TRAINERS along with the fighters AND the Trainers CONTACT NUMBERS so any event promoter who read the book would be able to contact trainers of fighters they may have seen or heard about to book them for their events. It began as a single 8½" x 11" sheet of paper folded in half. Over the course of 5 years, the books had grown to over 50 pages. Promoters from other organizations along with IKF Promoters started using "The Book" for matchmaking because it made their job A LOT easier than trying to track down fighters and trainers phone numbers through other sources. This was probably the MAIN reason for the IKF's success in the early years. No other organization had helped make fighters so easily available to everyone before "The BOOK!" It was a FIRST for sanctioning bodies and one all should follow today, yet oddly enough, NONE do.

The monthly books included rankings, news stories about events, upcoming events calendar, rules & regulations, trainer's names, IKF Rules & Regulations, officials names some advertising of sponsors and fighters pictures. The books became extremely popular in California and soon they were being mailed around the country as well as around the world. Fighters outside of California were calling to see how they could be listed in what California Kickboxers were calling "THE BOOK!"


The IKF logo as we know it today
with the addition of the
IKF web address.

However, from the beginning of the IKF in 1992 until late 1997, the only way a fighter could get placed into the IKF Rankings was to fight on an IKF event. In late 1997, the IKF started allowing non-IKF event fighters to be ranked in the rankings, which continue to fill today. Fossum wasn't content with just ranking fighters though. He also wanted to separate the rankings of different rule styles since he thought it was simply stupid to rank leg kick fighters with full contact fighters. Or Muay Thai fighters with Full Contact fighters. So in the monthly rankings books there were 3 divisions for men and women amateur kickboxers. (Full Contact, International & MuayThai). Later these same divisions were added for pros along with adding San Shou to the rule styles.

The monthly rankings books and the rankings themselves were the foundation of the organization. They were the true reason Fossum and Stell wanted to start the IKF. Not money. Not power. Not Control but "Organization" of the sport they loved. They made it a requirement to interview each fighter at every IKF event and find out all about them. A fighters real fight record was the most important piece of information the IKF needed for the rankings so the mismatched bouts would stop between the fighters with say an 8-1 record fighting a first time fighter. Many times, trainers would never offer a fighters true record just to get them fights. Record tracking became very important for matchmaking as well to see who was truly worthy of a title shot. Even today, the IKF Rankings are still used by promoters and matchmakers of many other organization, not just the IKF because again, they included the fighters trainers name and "CONTACT NUMBER". For every fighter in the IKF Rankings, even a first time amateur, the rankings include their name, hometown, record with KO's, height, weight last fought at, date of birth, trainers name and as said, a contact number. Today with the usefulness of the Internet, e-mail addresses are also included for many trainers.

On August 1st, 1992, IKF President Steve Fossum and then IKF Vice President Dan Stell hosted the first ever IKF Kickboxing event entitled "The Making of Team USA" at the Roseville Fairgrounds in Roseville, California. Some of the special guest included Eugene Ray who was the original trainer of Dennis Alexio and World Champion female Kickboxer Ramona Gatto, both who would later become IKF Pro World Champions. The first recorded IKF bout that night was between amateur fighter's Dave Griffiths of Fairfield, CA against John Hahn of Roseville, CA. Hahn won the bout. Also featured on the night were 2 IKF titles. The IKF Light Heavyweight Title and the IKF Heavyweight Title. Andy Sanchez (Right) defeated Nathan Patterson by TKO to win the first ever IKF title, the Light Heavyweight FCR Title. On that same night, well known referee Jon Schorle made his debut as an amateur Kickboxing referee.

Jim Brown defeated Ken Morgan for the 2nd IKF title awarded, the Heavyweight FCR Title. After their first event, Stell and Fossum's IKF quickly caught the respect from several other promoters and the IKF trail had begun. Following Fossum's opening IKF event were other promoters willing to work with the IKF. Jacob "Stitch" Duran (Now a famous Cutman with the UFC), World famous KungFu Master, Tat Mau Wong, Bob Solano, Abe Belardo, Scott Coker, (Creator of Strikeforce) Joe Corley (Former Fighter and President of the PKA) just to name a few. Fossum made a promise to the IKF promoters that he wouldn't do as a lot of promoters did when they crated their own sanctioning bodies... Keep promoting their own made-up champions...

So Fossum assured them that after he promoted 3 IKF Sanctioned events, he would not promote again to avoid conflicts of interest. From there, even more promoters became involved in the IKF. Promoters such as current and former Kickboxing World Champions like Duke Roufus, Dennis Alexio, Johnny Davis, Cung Le, Jimmy Stewart, Dave Marinoble, Mick Doyle, and other promoters who once sanctioned with other organizations as Fossum and Stell did, moving to the IKF because of one valuable offering... Recognition for their work, and the accomplishments of their fighters.

As we all know now, "The BOOK" was eventually replaced by the IKF website, IKFKickboxing.com. In December of 1996, IKF Web Designer Yancey Gillis and IKF President Steve Fossum worked together to create the first IKF Website at www.jps.net/ikf to see if it was a value to the IKF. Well, it took less than a year to prove that it did and soon after the IKF registered their official domain name as IKFKickboxing.com.

Almost overnight, the IKF and their "First and only" Kickboxing Rankings were a hit, worldwide. The IKF had fighters, trainers and promoters who had seen the IKF website contacting them from around the world now wanting to be in the IKF Rankings and part of the IKF News pages! It was basically an overnight success because the IKF was doing something NO Other sanctioning body had ever done, and still don't. Although the IKF was not the largest Kickboxing/Muay Thai sanctioning body, their philosophy of being "DIFFERENT" and offering MORE to the sport was exactly what those in the sport needed! By being DIFFERENT and offering more, the two concepts together eventually grew the IKF into one of the largest Kickboxing and Muay Thai sanctioning bodies in the world where it remains today.

Imagine how big the book would be today with all the information you find on the IKF Web Site? Everything on the IKF Web Site was once in the Monthly IKF Rankings books. The Monthly books were like a small "Who's Who" Kickboxing Magazine. Fossum's main goal of the IKF was to establish a ranking system for amateur fighters so the amateurs could determine who their competition was, as well as always know WHO held WHAT Title. As a kickboxer and trainer himself along with Stell, they went through their careers with little recognition. This made even a more important reason for the rankings, which was to register ALL amateur champions so the titles wouldn't be duplicated as in the case of all the other sanctioning bodies at the time. A practice that happens with some organizations still today, simply because NO other Kickboxing or Muay Thai sanctioning body keeps track of their Amateur Champions. Some don't even keep track of their pro champions, only collecting a check in exchange for the use of their letters. In addition, a champion could show someone their name in the book to prove they were for real.

Promoters once only known in their local area were now being headlined around the world on the IKF website. Finally they were getting recognized for their contributions to the sport. People worldwide would see their names along with IKF Promoters, trainers, fighters and officials. Most unknown outside their own community were now becoming well recognized names among Kickboxers and Muay Thai practitioners around the world.

The IKF would go on to create many "FIRSTS" in the Kickboxing world. One of those "Firsts" was the creation of the first ever Amateur Kickboxing Tournaments in the USA. What started as a USA Amateur Championship Tournament eventually grew, as the IKF Organization did, to become an Amateur World Championships. To read more about the IKF Tournaments, click HERE.

With all this being said, at this years IKF World Classic in Orlando Florida, those who also choose to "Walk The Walk" as Fossum and Stell did 20 years ago to prove to the world they can be the best, will celebrate 20 years of the IKF. In doing so, there will be some special "Limited Edition" THROWBACK shirts, jackets, T's and other things for those in attendance. Make sure you pick yourself up some while in Orlando. As we get closer and closer to the Tournament, we will unveil more and more about what the IKF plans to do with their 60,000 square foot ballroom. A Ballroom TWICE the size as in the past Tournaments.

Over the next few months we will post news stories that will highlight the past 20 years of the IKF and those associated with the IKF organization. A "Who's Who" of who helped build the IKF and the sport of kickboxing as well as some who along the way, tried to do what the IKF has done, but fell far short, and in doing so, fragmented a once fast growing sport that was eventually past up by the new sport of Mixed Martial Arts. We will share how the IKF created the first ever Mixed Martial Arts sanctioning body in 1999 and some of the stories that bring the IKF and Mixed Martial Arts together. In all, lets just say you want to keep an eye on the IKF News pages between now and July as we will unfold the many memories, both good and bad for the sports of Kickboxing and Muay Thai as well as the IKF and the eventual creation of a global fight sport organization known as International Fight Sports. We hope you continue to take the journey down memory way with us...

Oh and not to forget...


See You In Orlando!

Results From TS Promotions'
"Hell In Hitchin"
March 31st, 2012 - Herts, England





  1. IKF Pro FCR WORLD Welterweight Title (Vacant)
    Suky Saroya (Hitchin, England, 32-9-3, 66.4kg, 5'8", 05-22-83, Trevor Spencer 0044794-0715717)
    VS Lionel Picord (France, 59-2, 66.8kg, 5'9", 05-10-85, Nizar Gallas 0620490253)
    WINNER: Lionel Picard by unanimous decision 120-108, 119-109, 119-109.
    The top of the bill for this IKF Championship event gave us a fantastic clash between two true champions. IKF European Champion Suky Saroya had waited a long time for this opportunity, winning and defending his belts at all levels and turning no challenger down. It was fitting then that he should face WAKO World Champion Lionel Picard (France) in what turned out to be an absolute masterclass performance by the Frenchman. From the opening bell Picard had the situation under control, despite Saroya pressing the fight. The Englishman was always a few inches out of range as Picard moved perfectly out of range and returned fire with classy combinations and a solid left roundhouse kick.
    Saroya never stopped looking for the openings but by the 9th round his corner had run out of ideas. A supremely fit Saroya piled on the pressure in the 10th but Picard went with him and before long was dominating again, going on to record and almost shut out victory. A typically honest Saroya camp acknowledged the victory and the fact that this was a true world title contest. Coach Trevor Spencer said 'If you are going to lose a world title fight, then lose to a true World Champion' - and that he did!

  2. Pro Women's FCR European Light Welterweight
