SENSHI 32 Brings a Heavyweight Battle: Francesko Xhaja vs Nathan Cook

Only a few days remain until the first bell rings at one of the most anticipated beachside combat sports events – SENSHI 32 Grand Prix. On July 11, the beach arena next to "More" restaurant in the Sts. Constantine and Helena resort in Varna, Bulgaria, will host a spectacular Grand Prix tournament in the under 85 kg category, alongside thrilling fights during the international fight gala.

In the heavier of the two super fights on July 11, two explosive fighters will lock horns in a decisive bout to prove who is the best. Fans are in for an action-packed heavyweight (+95 kg) showdown and first-class kickboxing under the attractive KWU Full Contact rules, where no compromises are made in the ring.

Stepping into the beach arena from one side is a well-known and proven name for the promotion's fans – 32-year-old Francesko Xhaja from Albania. Boasting an impressive record of 5 wins and only 2 losses in the SENSHI arena, he enters the fight with the ambition of securing yet another triumph. Xhaja is a renowned fighter with extensive international experience and a stellar resume, which includes being the Ultimate Fight Night 2021 Champion, Megdan 8 2020 Winner, as well as the runner-up at the prestigious Tatneft Cup 2019 tournament. The Albanian fighter is known for his durability and powerful strikes, guaranteeing he will hunt for the victory from the very first second.

Facing him in the opposite corner will be a dangerous opponent ready to make a memorable first impression. 29-year-old Nathan Cook from England is stepping into the SENSHI ring for the first time, but he brings with him a reputation as an exceptionally technical and aggressive competitor. Cook arrives with solid accolades, including MTGP British Muay Thai Champion, Muay Thai European Champion, and ISKA British Champion.
