Local hero Toussaint Andareli, one of the WKN’s top promoters staged a top class international event in Ajaccio on the picturesque Mediterranean island of Corsica. His victory was not just with most of his fighters winning over an international line-up but the former world champion Andareli, now cements the Corsican events as the show to be seen on. 

The event kicked off on friday (May nd2) at the press conference and weigh-ins which where onboard a huge cruise liner in the Bay of Ajaccio. All were welcomed onboard, not by the traditional sound of a whistle but instead - drummed onboard by a guard of honour dressed in full Napoleonic wear and if that wasn’t enough the captain of the ship greeted everyone onboard. Promoter Toussaint Andarell was the perfect host - he has been extremely hospitable and can’t do enough to make everyone feel welcome, said a WKN official.
