Kiril Iliev and Kalina Boyadzhieva have won Bulgaria’s first two gold medals at the European Kickboxing Championships in Skopje, North Macedonia. Iliev claimed the European title in the men’s under-57 kg light contact category after defeating Britain’s Dylan Talli in the final. In point fighting, Kalina Boyadzhieva became European champion in the women’s over-70 kg category, beating Britain’s Summer Harvey.
Three other Bulgarian competitors won silver medals in the same discipline: Viktor Grozdanov (under-63 kg), Svetoslav Prokopov (under-74 kg) and Monika Petkova (under-50 kg).
Ali Yuzeir has also secured at least a silver medal in the men’s K1 under-86 kg category. He defeated reigning world champion Vito Kosar of Croatia to reach the final, where he will face the winner of the bout between Martin Lorenz of the Czech Republic and Hassan Hamilcaro of France.
In the ring disciplines, Georgi Shagov (under-63.5 kg) claimed his first medal at an international competition, taking bronze in low kick. Maria Yaneva also won bronze in the women’s under-48 kg low kick category.
The Bulgarian competitors received support at the venue from Bulgaria’s Ambassador to North Macedonia, Zhelyazko Radukov, who watched the matches alongside Bulgarian Kickboxing and Muay Thai Confederation President Mario Ivanov and Secretary General Tsvetelina Slavova. Radukov also held a meeting with World Association of Kickboxing Organizations President Roy Baker.
Over the following two days, Bulgarian kickboxers are scheduled to compete in five more finals and two semi-finals across different disciplines.
