The beach edition of the international fight gala night SENSHI 32 will deliver an exceptionally intriguing kickboxing super fight in the under-75 kg category. On July 11, the ring in Varna, Bulgaria, will feature the prominent SENSHI Grand Prix champion in this weight division – Bulgarian fighter Zhulien Rikov, who will go head-to-head against the rising Italian star Daniele Valente. Combat sports fans are anticipating a powerful clash where tactics, the will to win, and an uncompromising fighting spirit will determine who triumphs in the arena.
The main focus of the bout undoubtedly falls on the phenomenal rise of the 20-year-old Bulgarian talent, Zhulien Rikov. Just a few months ago – in February 2026, at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria – Rikov made history by capturing the SENSHI Welterweight Grand Prix Champion title after enduring 3 matches and 10 rounds. Holding a record of 5 victories in the prestigious promotion's ring, Rikov is a proven fighting machine – he is a two-time World Cup winner, a two-time European Cup champion, and an impressive 8-time Bulgarian National Champion. His title from February 2026 solidified his position as one of the most dangerous and unpredictable young athletes in Europe.
However, a serious challenge stands in his way: 23-year-old Daniele Valente. The Italian has already recorded a prestigious victory in the SENSHI ring (against Petar Stoykov at SENSHI 24) and arrives in Bulgaria with the ambition to snap Rikov's winning streak. Valente boasts a solid resume, being a national kickboxing champion of Italy as well as an XFC World Champion. The Italian has already announced that Rikov is precisely the opponent he most wanted to test himself against, which guarantees spectacular and uncompromising action.
