K-1 Premium 2007 Dynamite!!

One Bout Added

December 31, 2007

Kyocera Dome Osaka

Osaka, Japan

 

 

K-1 announced former WBA Super Featherweight champion Yong Soo Choi will battle it out with 2003 K-1

Max Champion Masato on their December 31st card. This bout was originally scheduled to take place last

year at K-1 Dynamite 2006 but an injury forced Choi to withdraw. Masato, no stranger to boxers, knocked

out former IBF Jr. Welterweight champion Vince Phillips back in 2003 - Masato punished the legs of

Phillips in round one and the first right low kick to the thigh in the second round knocked Phillips down and

that's where he stayed. But Choi is no stranger to kickboxing as he has amassed wins over Driton Rama,

Nasu Yoshiharu and Satoru Suzuki in K-1.

 

Line-up so far (not in fight order):

Fight 1 - K-1 Rules 70kg Bout (3 Rds x 3 min, 2 Rd ext if needed) - added

Masato (Silver Wolf) vs. Yong Soo Choi (Kahn Gym)
