It was Titanic our Thai-Tanic event - blooded Greek fighter Demetris Sarantopolous just before the doctor stopped his championship bout on June 10th Supported by the Holiday Inn and sponsored by Schwarzkopf International
Live updates. LIVE stream from the Thai-Tanic event in Belfast meant that the world had a chance to tune in to see a well run sporting event from Belfast Northern Ireland.... And it lived up to the name - 'Thai-Tanic' - Great fights, Great event, and GREAT audience and three new European Champions for Northern Ireland's premier kickboxing school, ProKick.
A 10 fight bill had something for everyone, KO's to knock-downs, cuts and stoppages. The Thai-Tanic event was supported by the Holiday Inn and sponsored by Schwarzkopf International. There were six big titles on the line at the sold-out event, four European and two British crowns were all contested for. Not a bad nights work. Out of 5 title fights that ProKick fought taking home 3 major crowns was a great nights work and all the fighters should be proud of their achievements.

Great fights, great audience knock-outs and three new home-grown European Champions for Northern Ireland. Just real good well matched hard fought fights. Murray finished by saying, We showed the rest of the world that our fight talent here on this small Island is as good if not better than any other part of the world.
