Was 2024 As Good As You Remembered? My Yearly Kickboxing Awardshow

In 2024 a lot has happened. GLORY brought back the Grand Prix and dropped the 70kg division, while K-1 brought back K-1 MAX. It was arguably the best era for Featherweight and Light Heavyweight. With established fighters like Rico Verhoeven, Petch and Akihiro Kaneko showing why they are one of the best. And the future looks bright with upcoming fighters like Bahram Rajabzadeh, Miguel Trindade and Kacper Muszynski. What a year it has been! But was 2024 actually a good year for kickboxing? In this video I talk about the VERY BEST (and the not so best) kickboxing of 2024. Like every year I give out awards for those who I think deserved it the most.
