I Met the Fighter Who Beat Buakaw… Here’s What He Told Me 🥊

What does it take to defeat a legend like Buakaw and rise to the top of the kickboxing world? In this exclusive interview, I sit down with the Bulgarian fighter Stoyan Koprivlenski who shocked the world by winning the K-1 Grand Prix Mix (2024) — defeating Buakaw on his way to becoming a K-1 World Champion. He opens up about the sacrifices, discipline, and mindset that fuel his success. 🥊 In this interview we discuss: • The sacrifices needed to compete at the highest level. • Training 2–3 times a day at the legendary Mike’s Gym in the Netherlands. • Staying in fight shape year-round — even on vacation. • How he deals with doubt and negativity, and why he only surrounds himself with believers. • Memories from past fights, including his battle with Mohammed Jaraya • How his family — especially his mother — experiences the stress of his career. • His plans for the future after fighting, and why kickboxing will always be part of his life. This is more than a fight story — it’s a lesson in sacrifice, mental toughness, and chasing greatness no matter the cost. 👉 Don’t miss this inside look into the mind of a champion.
