Hristiyan Korunchev will have a new opponent for the fifth edition of professional fight nights SENSHI.
The Bulgarian fighter was supposed to face off the extremely strong German Sergei Brown this Saturday, but poor health condition failed this clash. The organizers responded in a hurry and a new class rival was found for the Armeec SC star. On February 22, one of the most titled Serbian kickboxers, Ljubo Jalovi, will participate for the second time in the Palace of Culture and Sports, Varna.
The match will be played in K-1 style.
Korunchev and Jalovi already met once in the ring. That happened at the WAKO World Championship in 2017, the Bulgarian managed to win the match on points.
In 2013, Jalovi became the WAKO World Champion, and at the first edition of SENSHI a year ago in Varna, he won the European WAKO PRO belt in the 81.4 kg category. He won against Macedonian Boban Ilioski in a K-1 style clash. The Serb was also in the ring of super tournament Tatneft.
This will be the second fight for Korunchev at SENSHI, too. Last year he won the Intercontinental WAKO PRO kickboxing title in the welterweight division. He is also a two-time muay-thai world champion. He has also won two European titles and a gold medal from K-1 WAKO world cup in 2017.
