Two of Bulgaria’s top kickboxers – reigning SENSHI Grand Prix champion in the 75 kg division Zhulien Rikov and Ali Yuzeir – will step onto the beach arena of SENSHI 32 Grand Prix on July 11. They will defend Bulgaria’s honor in highly competitive KWU Full Contact bouts against dangerous opponents from around the world.

In the main Grand Prix tournament bracket, fans will see Ali Yuzeir competing for the prestigious 85 kg title in front of a home crowd. The Varna-based fighter has already proven his ability to deliver spectacular performances, recording two impressive knockout victories in SENSHI – against Karim Mabrouk at SENSHI 29 in December 2025 and against Serali Abilkassim at SENSHI 4 in 2019. Over the years, Yuzeir has established himself as a tough and experienced competitor on major international stages across the globe. He is the 2018 Muay Thai World Champion, the 2015 European Vice-Champion, and the 2017 Balkan Best Fighters K-1 Champion.

One of the major highlights of SENSHI 32 will be the appearance of kickboxing sensation Zhulien Rikov. After "The Babyface Killer" fought through three brutal opponents in a single night to capture the prestigious 75 kg Grand Prix title in February, fans will once again see him enter the ring on July 11. He is set to compete in one of the evening’s featured super fights.

In addition to his SENSHI championship title, Rikov is a two-time World Cup winner, a two-time European Cup champion, and an eight-time Bulgarian national champion. With his aggressive style and outstanding technique, he has established himself as one of the brightest prospects in Bulgarian combat sports. Following his spectacular triumph at SENSHI 30 Grand Prix, fans gave him a new nickname – Zhulien “Lionheart” Rikov. His talent has also caught the attention of Dutch kickboxing legend Albert Kraus, who will once again travel to Bulgaria as part of SENSHI’s officiating team.

SENSHI 32 Grand Prix will take place on July 11 from 7:30 PM EET /12:30 PM EST/ on the beach next to Restaurant More in St. St. Constantine and Helena Resort, Varna, Bulgaria. Tickets for the international event are already on sale through the Eventim.bg network. During the professional fight gala, fans will witness kickboxing bouts featuring 16 fighters from 12 different countries, while the SENSHI Grand Prix tournament will determine the new champion of the 85 kg division through a series of intense battles, spectacular knockouts, and action-packed contests fought to the limit.
