For many fight fans, 'Pain and Glory' is one of the major combat sports events of the year and this year

'Pain and Glory' has received official sanctioning as a K-1 Max event and alongside a K-1 Max tournament,

promoters Fighters Inc and Showsport international are proud to announce two K-1 Superbouts featuring top

British talent.

K-1 World Max Champion 2002, Albert Kraus, with 17 wins from 26 K-1 bouts will take on our very own

Superstar Peter Crooke, who KO'd Takayuki Kohiruimaki in the same tournament. Crooke recently

fought his idol, Thai legend Sakmongkol and it has taken another top name to bring him back out of

retirement.

Pain and Glory will also be hosting a K-1 Max qualifying tournament for the first time, with four UK fighters

thrown into the melting pot against foreign opposition with only one winner. The full line up is….

K-1 World MAX Qualifying tournament

The 8 fighters are:

- Harvey Harra (UK)

- Craig Jose (UK)

- Jordan Watson (UK)

- Richard Fenwick (UK)

- Mahy Cruz (Spain)

- Killy Guelladrss (France)

- Tomi Karttunen (Finland)

- Sophaine Allouche (Algeria)

On paper the most intriguing fight is the heavyweight debut of Britain's own Karate World Champion, Leon

Walters under full K-1 rules. Walters has all the physical attributes to be a full contact star but could not

have chosen a more high-profile, high pressure debut and only when that first bell sounds will we know for

certain…..

If all this were not enough to whet your appetite, Pain and Glory sees the return of former World Kickboxing

champion John Lawson to the big stage, alongside his dynamic brother Stuart. These men are truly world

class and to see them back in action will be a real treat. Then there's king of the elbows Michael Dicks,

Britain's most explosive Thai Boxer…..

And in the unlikely event that the fights don't get your heart racing, the Maxim magazine ring girls certainly

will.
