WKN introduces 'Rising stars' for junior competitors

The World Kickboxing Network announced last week its newest concept for junior fighters. The amateur branch named 'Rising Stars' is focused solely on developing a new generation of kickboxers all around the world.

The first-timer winning the belt will be dubbed “Bronze”, where the title equals national championship. The second belt is titled “Silver”, with the continental title on the line. “Gold” is awarded to an athlete winning the third belt – world championship.

The competitors will be classified not only by the country they represent but also by their gym, giving an opportunity to gym owners to regain prominence.
