Time To Defend!
IKF Is Making Title Defenses MANDATORY!

For years now, many have asked us why some IKF Champions do not defend their titles. Well, it's a but harder than just telling them to defend it... If you have the time, please read our article that we did some time ago entitled, IKF TITLE DEFENSES & CHALLENGES. The article explains how difficult it can be to organize a title fight as well as organize a title Defense. The IKF is not going to be as drastic as the old WKA where they required a Title holder to defend their title every 6 months. However, we are going to set standard times as to how often a Champion must defend their titles. This is because of several reasons.

Usually after a fighter wins their title, there is no desire by the winning fighter to "Create" an event so that a top ranked contender can come challenge for it. This is the most important issue that has troubled us here. We do not like the idea of "Forcing" any fighter to defend what they have won. However, after careful thought and extended review, we now feel it is our duty and responsibility to keep the title holders as well as the titles themselves active in the sport. There is only one way to accomplish this and this is to make mandatory date lines for title defenses.

Currently the IKF has 7 Pro Full Contact Rules World Champions, 3 Pro International Rules World Champions and 5 Muay Thai Rule World Champions and 7 Pro San Shou World Champions. Holding his title the longest without a defense is IKF Welterweight World Champion Khunpon (Surapon Dechkampu) of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Khunpon won his title when he defeated John Adams of San Dimas, CA USA by KO at 2:23 of round 1 in Tijuana Mexico on December 15th, 1997. He has yet to ever defend it. The most recent of the Men's Pro World Champions is IKF Pro Muay Thai Rules Heavyweight World Champion Giuseppe DeNatale of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He won his title when he stopped Duncan Airlie James of Glasgow, Scotland at 1:53 of the third round on April 15th, 2006.

Of them all, only 1 has been active, defending his World Title. Tommy Bach is the current IKF Pro FCR Lightweight World Champion and has defended his title 3 times since winning it by first Round KO over Keith Nesbitt of Steelton, Pennsylvania, USA in Crystal Lake, Illinois, USA on February 1st, 2003. His last defense was on January 20th, 2006 in Crystal Lake, Illinois, USA when he defeated Bobby Campbell of Long Island, New York, USA by unanimous decision, 115-113, 116-112 and 116-113.

Of the remaining current Men's Pro World Champions only IKF Light Cruiserweight FCR Pro World Champion Mike Nevitt of Sycamore, Illinois, USA and IKF Super Heavyweight MTR World Champion Matt Skelton of Bedford, England have defended their titles. Both doing so once.

In the Pro woman's divisions there are overall a total of 5 Woman's World Champions. The one who has held her title the longest is Bantomweight International Rules World Champion Holly Ferneley of Sydney, NSW, Australia. she won her title, the first of "3" different rule styles, when she defeated Lynette Els of Three Rivers, Vereeniging, South Africa by kick KO in round 3 at the Croatian Club in Bankstown, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on September 24th, 1999. The most recent IKF woman's Pro World Champion is Flyweight Full Contact Rules World Champion Rita Takacs of Hungry when she defeated Bridie Murphy of England by unanimous decision in England on June 3rd, 2006. Not one IKF Woman's World Champion has ever been challenged to defend her world Title.

With all this being said, look for the IKF to start making notices to the current World Champions first followed by all the other IKF Champions! As for the time-lines the IKF will be requiring for defenses, they will be announced here on the IKF News page soon!

Steve Fossum

IKF Florida, USA
IKF Event Representative Lee Barden (Right) has been keeping IKF Kickboxing alive in Florida through promotions with No Xclusions, Inc. Promoter Thomas Fischer for some time now with his "FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS" at the Plush Nightclub in Jacksonville, Florida, USA. Fischer's next IKF Event at Plush is this Friday night, October 27th.

As time past, Barden saw the success of the events and when approached by another club, he was presented with an opportunity to expand on his formula. as he did, Barden and IKF President Steve Fossum (Below Left) came to an agreement to expand IKF Kickboxing to other clubs in Florida and beyond.

Last week Barden and the Fossum confirmed a deal that will bring IKF Kickboxing to Florida on a weekly basis (Excluding Christmas week) between now and February of 2007. What is exciting about the deal is that it was done with the first of "MANY" new Nightclubs called "Club Paris". For now the events will be called "Florida Fight Night" and the first one will be tonight at the first ever "Club Paris" in Jacksonville, Florida. Tonights event will begin at 11:00 PM!

The Clubs are named after the famous and beautiful Paris Hilton, (Below Left) heiress to the Hilton Hotel Chain "We are looking forward to working with Club Paris and we are also excited about the additional parts of this deal which will be disclosed soon" Said Fossum. For now, lets just say they include the IKF working with the Hilton Hotels around the world. Hilton is also the Official Sponsor of the US Olympic Team. More about this connection later.

Along with Fossum, IKF Associate Florida Representative Walter Faulkner, Barden and "Club Paris" owner Fred Khauuan (Left with Paris) are excited to offer these exciting events at the Jacksonville "Club Paris". Barden is currently working on applying the same fight night formula to the Orlando, Daytona Beach and Miami "Club Paris'" over the next few months. However, it gets much better!

Khauuan plan is to open "Club Paris'" in major markets of Las Vegas, New York and Los Angeles. But they don't plan to stop there. Already in the works are clubs in Atlanta Georgia, Knoxville Tennessee, Charlotte North Carolina, Houston Texas and Boston, Massachusetts.

However it gets even better... Khauuan does not plan to stop his "Club Paris'" at the shores of USA. Clubs will soon open in London England, Barcelona Spain, Rome Italy, San Paulo Brazil, Mexico City Mexico, Istanbul Turkey, Dubai United Arabia, Moscow Russia, Tokyo Japan, Toronto Canada, Paris France, Amsterdam Holland, and Beijing China and yes, the plan is to continue the weekly IKF Kickboxing events at all of them!

The overall plan that Barden, Khauuan and Fossum hope to accomplish is to have IKF Kickboxing on a weekly basis in "ALL" the planned "Club Paris" Nightclubs as well as more IKF Events at Hilton Hotels around the world in places such as the United Kingdom with IKF Europe.

If you are an Amateur kickboxer or Trainer of Amateur kickboxers and are interested in fighting in some of these events please contact Mr. Lee Barden at (904) 762-9365 or by e-mail at leebarden@comcast.net

Luiz then rushes in with a flying knee and follows up with several shots to the head that force Isreal to turn away from the punches, Luiz then takes his back and pulls the fight to the ground while attempting to lock in a rear naked choke. As the fight hits the ground Luiz secures the choke and in seconds Isreal is forced to tap giving Luiz the submission victory.

Frank starts out in side mount but Chancelor has control of his head, Frank lands several shots to the body and a couple elbows to the head while trying to free his head. Frank lands a solid elbow to the face causing Chancelor to release hi head and then Frank steps over to full mount. Chancelor holds him in close but Frank is still able to land a few shots to the head, Chancelor tries to buck free and sweep but as the fighters scramble for control Frank ends up back on top and in Chancelor's guard. Chancelor holds Frank in close but Frank is still able to land several shots to the head and body before stepping back into the full mount position. Frank drops several more shots to the head as Chancelor tries to hold him in close but in the end Chancelor is forced to tap to the strikes giving Frank the TKO victory.
   Frank Milsap defeated Chancelor Edmondson in Round 1 by Tap due to strikes.
   
   
5. AMATEUR MMA
   CJ Haggerty Vs Jon Walsh (Right)
   ROUND 1: The fighters touch gloves, Jon throws a kick to the leg and then shoots in driving CJ back against the cage. The fighters work for control and Jon ends up taking the fight to the ground, after a few seconds CJ sweeps and then stands getting the fight back to their feet. Jon moves in landing a shot to the head and then shoots back in to get the fight to the ground. As the fighters work for control on the ground Jon lands a few shots to the head, the fighters scramble a bit more rolling off the cage and Jon ends up getting full mount but CJ sweeps again and the fighters get back to their feet. The fighters exchange a couple shots to the head and Jon moves back in, clinches up and then takes CJ back to the ground. Jon lands a couple shots and the fighters scramble and CJ ends up giving up his back, Jon starts working a rear naked choke, after sinking in his hooks he locks in the choke and in seconds CJ is forced to tap giving Jon the submission victory.
   Jon Walsh defeated CJ Hagerty in Round 1 by Submission (RNC).
   
   
6. IKF PRO Muay Thai
   Matt Callahan vs Damion Caldwell (Right)
   ROUND 1: Both fighters come out banging exchanging kicks, knees and powerful shots to the head. Matt sets the pace of the fight and keeps Damion backing up and having to strike in defense for most of the round. Both guys land several kicks to the body and Matt even lands a couple high kicks to the head. About mid round the fighters clinch and Matt scores a take down going to the ground with Damion but both fighters pop right back up ready to continue. The round is finished out strong by both fighters but in my opinion its Matt taking the round due to landing more shots, scoring the take down and being the aggressor constantly moving forward.
   ROUND 2: As the fight continues Matt is still setting the pace and taking more control of the fight. Damion is landing a few shots but spends most of the round defending shots from Matt. Again Matt scores a take down when he catches a body kick and sweeps Damion to the canvas. Both fighters seem well conditioned as the action packed fight continues but Matt again is the aggressor taking the fight to Damion and in my opinion taking round 2 as well.
   ROUND 3: Damion comes out swinging and taking the fight to Matt but Matt works through it and regains control of the fight. While Damion looks better in the third round it is still Matt's fight as he continues taking the fight to Damion and scoring yet another take down. Both fighters finish strong as the round ends and they send the fight to the judges who evidently agree with me as they award the match to Matt with a unanimous decision.
   Matt Callahan defeated Damion Caldwell by decision.
   
   
7. PRO MMA
   Fabio Casta Vs Mike Walbrite
   ROUND 1: The fighters circle a bit before Fabio throws a leg kick, Mike answers back with a couple shots to the head and the fighters clinch and exchange a few more shots to the head as Fabio works to get Mike to the ground. Fabio lands a couple knees to the body and then gets Mike to the ground ending in side control Fabio lands several shots to the head and then steps over to full mount, Mike tries to buck free but gives up an arm and Fabio grabs it and then rolls to an arm bar, seconds later Mike is forced to tap giving Fabio the submission victory.
   Fabio Casta defeated Mike Walbrite in Round 1 by Submission from Arm Bar.
   
   
8. Douglas Lima Vs Steve Linton (Right)
   ROUND 1: The fighters touch gloves and Steve rushes in shooting for a take down but it is Douglas taking him to the ground, Douglas stands over him and lands a few kicks to the leg as Steve works off his back. Douglas then drops in a jumping foot stomp and Steve grabs his leg trying to trip him and then gets back to his feet and the action continues. Steve swings and shoots back in and the fighters go to the mat where Douglas lands a few shots to the head as they work for control Douglas lands several more shots to the head and then rolls Steve to his back where he drops a couple more head shots and then stands over Steve and lands a few more leg kicks before attempting another jumping foot stomp. Douglas lands another leg kick and then for some reason Steve verbally submits giving Douglas the victory.
   Douglas Lima defeated Steve Linton in Round 1 by Verbal Submission.
   
   
9. IKF PRO Muay Thai
   Anthony Nieves vs Carlos Molestina
   ROUND 1: Both fighters come out strong and they exchange several kicks and knees but not as many punches. Anthony seems to land most of the shots early but about mid round Carlos scores a take down sweep and then takes control of the fight. Carlos lands a solid shot to the face that buckles Anthony's knees and drops him to the mat but Anthony is able to clear the 10 count and the fight continues. The fighters exchange a few more shots and Carlos lands another shot that drops Anthony to the mat. Both fighters finish strong but it is Carlos doing the most damage and taking the round.
   ROUND 2: The fighters continue slugging it out in round 2 but it seems Carlos is getting a bit gassed as the fight goes on. Both fighters land several shots both to the body and head but it seems Anthony is getting the better of the round as he starts to set the pace of the fight and keeps moving in driving Carlos back against the cage with shots to the head and body as they finish out the round and head into the final round of the fight.
   ROUND 3: As the final round starts both fighters are looking a bit tired but Anthony is looking the fresher of the two. Anthony drives Carlos back against the cage and lands a solid knee dropping him to the mat, Carlos is not able to continue the fight and the referee stops the fight giving Anthony the TKO victory.
   Anthony Nieves defeated Carlos Molestina in Round 3 by TKO - Referee Stoppage.
   
   
10. PRO MMA

Blood is pouring from Steve's head from the first uppercut Anthony landed and as he works the choke Steve rolls to his side and Anthony lands a few more shots to the head before releasing the triangle and switching to a guillotine and pulling guard.
