The most successful Bulgarian kickboxer Stoyan Koprivlenski passed the official scales in Tokyo before the start of the defense of his title at the K-1 World Max tournament in the category of up to 70 kg. 

The fight in the Japanese capital is on Saturday at 8 am Bulgarian time. The 31-year-old kickboxer will compete in a non-standard format - 3 matches within one day. The one who goes all the way to the end and wins all three of his matches will be proclaimed world champion. Koprivlenski has already done this once in 2024.
