International combat sports media continue to spotlight SENSHI and the upcoming SENSHI 31: Gladiators event ahead of the spectacular fight gala on May 30 at the Ancient Theatre in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
One of the latest featured stories by SIDE KICK UK focused on a special teaser produced for SENSHI, starring two of the organization’s most exciting stars in the -70kg and -75kg divisions — SENSHI European Champion Dragomir Petrov and “Mr. SENSHI” Atanas Bozhilov — alongside two legendary K-1 icons: Albert Kraus, known as “The Hurricane,” and Andy Souwer, famously called “The Souwer Power.”
The teaser carries a powerful message, highlighting the fascinating storyline between Kraus and Souwer — two world-renowned SENSHI instructors and leaders today, who years ago were among each other’s fiercest rivals inside the ring.
The article revisits their unforgettable clashes during the prestigious K-1 World MAX tournaments in the early 2000s. Albert Kraus first defeated Souwer via TKO in 2003, while Souwer later equalized the rivalry in 2007 with a hard-fought split decision victory. Their battles became part of kickboxing history and helped define an entire era of the sport.
Now, years later, SENSHI once again brings their rivalry back into the spotlight — this time through the next generation of elite fighters they mentor and inspire, including talents such as Dragomir Petrov and Atanas Bozhilov.
