UTMA 19 tournament to feature Maslobojevas vs. Dirkstys in Kaunas

The UTMA 19 combat sports tournament is set to take place at the Kauno Žalgirio arena in Lithuania. The event features 15 fights, headlined by a highly anticipated kickboxing match between Sergejus Maslobojevas and Dominykas Dirkstys in the 94 kg category. The rivalry between the two athletes has transitioned from shared training to a public confrontation.

In professional boxing, former WBA regular world champion Eimantas Stanionis returns to the ring after a nearly year-long hiatus. He will face South African representative Kaine Fourie in a 10-round bout in the 68 kg weight class.

Additional highlights of the evening include championship belt defenses, such as Dovydas Levickis defending his 63.5 kg kickboxing title against Modestas Žmuidina, and a tournament for the 81 kg weight category featuring an 50,000 euro prize pool.
