Bare-knuckle fighter Lendrush "Leko" Akopyan will have his next fight against Sulambek "Scarlet Beast" Shakhgiriyev. The fight will take place on April 26 in Rostov-on-Don as part of the fight night of the new Force FC league. This bout will be the main event of the evening.
FORCE FC is a new league that will host fights under bare-knuckle and MMA rules, as well as two unique formats that could shake up the entire industry: fan fights and style battles. The Russian Boxing Federation, under the leadership of Umar Nazarovich Kremlyov, has already issued a license for bare-knuckle fights to the league’s president, Alexander Shabliy.
Previously, Lendrush Akopyan competed in Hardcore FC, a league that is currently facing difficulties in organizing bare-knuckle tournaments due to the lack of a license.
