Four Bulgarians Set to Compete at SENSHI 34 in Varna

Atanas Bozhilov, Dragomir Petrov, Zhulien Rikov and Daniel Dinev will represent Bulgaria at the spectacular fight gala night on December 5

Four Bulgarian fighters will take part in SENSHI 34 Grand Prix on December 5, 2026, at 7:00 PM EET /12:30 PM EST/ at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria. Atanas Bozhilov, Dragomir Petrov, Zhulien Rikov and Daniel Dinev will represent Bulgaria at the international fight gala, which promises highly competitive bouts and intense emotions for combat sports fans.

The best seats for the event can be reserved through Eventim.bg.

The Bulgarian fighters will compete in three Super Fights and one reserve bout for the Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament (95+ kg). The fight card will feature both established SENSHI names and young champions who continue to strengthen their positions on the international kickboxing scene.

Atanas Bozhilov – Mr. SENSHI Returns to Action

One of Bulgaria's most respected kickboxers, Atanas Bozhilov, will compete in a Super Fight in the -75 kg division. Known to fans as Mr. SENSHI, he boasts an impressive record of 25 victories in the SENSHI ring.

Bozhilov is a former SENSHI European Champion in the -75 kg division (2023), WAKO PRO K1 World Champion (2019), and two-time silver medallist at the WAKO European Kickboxing Championships in 2016 and 2018. His achievements also include a WAKO World Cup title in 2017.

His most recent victory in the SENSHI ring came at SENSHI 31, where he defeated England's Aaron Sleeman. Now, the Bulgarian fighter is ready to deliver another strong performance in front of his home crowd.

Dragomir Petrov – Determined to Settle the Score in the -70 kg Division

Fans will have the chance to witness Dragomir Petrov's dynamic fighting style in a Super Fight in the -70 kg division. With unfinished business in the ring, Petrov will be looking to get his revenge.

He has secured 14 victories in SENSHI and is one of the established names in the lightweight division, ranking among the top five fighters with the most appearances in the promotion.

Petrov is a two-time SENSHI European Champion, having won the title in 2023 and 2024. In 2026, he became runner-up in the -70 kg Grand Prix tournament held in Plovdiv. His impressive sporting résumé also includes a 2019 EMC European Muay Thai title, a victory at the Wizard tournament in the same year, and four national kickboxing titles.

Zhulien Rikov – The Lionheart Is Ready for Another Victory

One of the brightest young talents in Bulgarian kickboxing, Zhulien Rikov, will also compete in a Super Fight in the -75 kg division. In February 2026, at just 19 years old, he entered the SENSHI -75 kg Grand Prix as the youngest participant and emerged as the tournament champion.

Rikov is the reigning 2026 SENSHI Grand Prix Welterweight Champion (-75 kg) and continues to impress with his performances in the professional ring. So far, he has recorded seven victories in SENSHI, remaining undefeated.

The young fighter is a two-time Kickboxing World Cup champion, two-time European Cup champion, and eight-time Bulgarian national champion. His most recent appearance for the international promotion was at SENSHI 33, where he faced Spain's Danut Mihail. On December 5, Rikov will have another opportunity to demonstrate why he is considered one of the most promising names in kickboxing.

Daniel Dinev – Bulgaria's Heavyweight Hope in the Grand Prix

In the heavyweight division (95+ kg), Daniel Dinev will take part in one of the two reserve bouts for the Grand Prix tournament. The Bulgarian fighter caught the audience's attention with his debut at SENSHI 31 Gladiators in Plovdiv, where he scored a victory against Romanian powerhouse Benny Adegbuyi.

Dinev has been a multiple Bulgarian national champion since the early stages of his competitive career. His achievements also include a gold medal at the World Cup in Hungary in 2025 and a European silver medal at the championship held in Greece in 2024. His participation in the Grand Prix reserve bout offers another opportunity to strengthen his presence on the international SENSHI stage.

The four Bulgarian representatives will have the support of their home crowd at one of the most anticipated fight nights of the year. SENSHI 34 Grand Prix will bring together 18 fighters from 13 countries in Varna, Bulgaria, where they will face off in spectacular bouts, showcasing their technique, character and champion spirit.

SENSHI 34 Grand Prix will take place on December 5, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria.
