Representative of Ukraine heavyweight Tsotne Rogava (4-0, 4 KOs), an Olympian from Tokyo 2021 and a previously recognized kickboxer, stopped the previously undefeated Dante Williams (4-1, 4 KOs) in the first round at the Emerald Queen Casino arena in Tacoma, Washington. Rogava will fight his next fight on February 15, also in the USA, against American John Shipman (5-5, 2 KOs).
Also that evening, returning after fifteen months of inactivity, the interesting promising heavyweight Gurgen Oganesyan (5-0, 5 KOs) defeated Colby Madison (11-7-2, 7 KOs) ahead of schedule.
The Armenian, two meters tall and weighing 126.3 kilograms, went forward towards his opponent from the very beginning and increased his advantage every minute. At the beginning of the fifth round, he landed a straight left and a right side, repeated the same combination and knocked down his opponent. The opponent decided not to get up and waited until the referee counted to ten.
