Edi Shehaj has been declared the World Karate and Kickboxing (WKU) World Champion in the discipline of kickboxing. The Vlora-based kickboxer clinched this prestigious title after enduring five rounds against his Greek counterpart, Apostolis Mantzos, ultimately emerging victorious.

The sporting arena in Vlora was filled with numerous fervent sports enthusiasts, creating a splendid atmosphere. Additionally, Klevis Zeneli grabbed the WKU Albania Junior title, while Xhino Begotaraj of Fight Club Vlora won the WKU Europe title.

However, the evening’s excitement extended beyond the main events, as other matches captivated the audience in the hall. Regrettably, Vlora champion Ilda Lelo did not compete due to the withdrawal of her Italian opponent from the competition. Nevertheless, Lelo herself affirmed her commitment to pursuing further objectives and engagements in the sport.
