The Karma Fight League made a historic turn in the Sri Lankan fighting scene, providing audiences with an unprecedented viewing experience of international standards.
“We are happy to announce that in less than 2 years, KFL has grown from a local fight night into South Asia’s Biggest K-1 Fight League,” a statement from Karma Fight League said.
Going beyond that, KFL has managed to attract international fighters representing countries like India, Pakistan, and the Netherlands.
These fighters are set to compete in KFL 004, which will be held at the Taprobane, Colombo, on the 26th of October 2024
Born as the idea of a young creative team, KFL aims to bring a martial arts experience of international standards to Sri Lanka.
KFL has also worked tirelessly to enrich professional fighters and give them the financial value that they have not received so far.
For example, the Asian Security Group has extended its full support to Nimesha Kumari of KFL to engage in martial arts as a professional fighter.
This marks the first time in Sri Lanka that a female athlete has been given brand ambassadorship in a non-boxing, combat sport.
Expanding these opportunities further, prize money valued at 1.5 million rupees is allocated for the fighters of KFL SEASON 04.
KFL 004 will feature the Finals of the KFL – Open Weight Championship, which will be held as a duel between Kurunegala and Kandy.
Kandy’s Gihan ‘Sonic’ Prasanna and Kurunegala’s Sylvester Silva, selected from an original pool of 8 fighters, are set to face off in the finals, garnering a strong interest from audiences across the country.
A large number of spectators are eagerly waiting to witness this historic moment.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have joined in support of KFL’s mission to bring talented fighters from across the country to the international stage.
