Kick's Night 2026: Three European Titles, One Huge Night in France

KICK’S NIGHT 2026 – THREE EUROPEAN TITLES, ONE HUGE NIGHT IN FRANCE!

Saturday 21 November 2026 | Palais des Sports, Agde, France -  is Organised by Aurélien and Caroline Cramail alongside Sylvain Rousset, the event promises a spectacular evening as leading fighters from across Europe descend on the Palais des Sports in Agde.

Among the headline attractions is Belfast’s own Jay “The Belfast Samurai” Snoddon, who faces French rival Jordan Cocu for the third time, with the WKN Professional European K-1 Championship on the line.

SNODDON VS COCU III – THE TRILOGY

One win apiece. Two fierce encounters. One final showdown.

The rivalry between Snoddon and Cocu has already produced two highly competitive contests, both staged in France. Cocu took the opening encounter on points before Snoddon returned to claim victory in their second meeting.

Now the score stands at 1–1, and this time they meet over five three-minute rounds with European gold at stake.

For 23-year-old Snoddon, this will mark his 19th professional fight, another major milestone in a career that continues to gather momentum.

Fighting away from home doesn’t faze the Belfast Samurai. In fact, he thrives on it.

Having recently recorded two impressive stoppage victories, first in Cyprus and then against Tadhg English in Cork, Snoddon heads to France full of confidence.

Three international fights in just over seven weeks, across three different countries. It is a demanding schedule, but one that perfectly suits a fighter who simply loves to fight.

BILLY MURRAY: “JAY JUST LOVES TO FIGHT”

ProKick head coach and former four-weight world kickboxing champion Billy Murray believes this European title opportunity represents another important step towards Snoddon’s ultimate ambition.

“Jay is one of those rare fighters who genuinely loves everything about fighting. He loves the training, the preparation, the challenge and, most importantly, testing himself against the best.

“Travelling away from home doesn’t faze him in the slightest. He’s already fought internationally on numerous occasions, and he knows exactly what to expect in France.

“This will be his 19th professional contest, and every fight is another learning experience. He has an incredible work rate, tremendous fitness and, above all, the heart and desire to win.

“We have just over two weeks left to fine-tune his preparations. The hard work has already been done. Now it’s about sharpening everything and making sure he arrives in France in the best possible condition.

“Jordan Cocu is a very good fighter, and we respect him and his team. But we know what Jay is capable of, and we’re travelling to France with one objective – to bring that European K-1 title back to Belfast.

“Winning this championship would be a massive step towards setting up a WKN Professional World Championship opportunity in the future. That’s our long-term goal, but first we have a very important job to do on November 21.”

THREE EUROPEAN TITLES HEADLINE KICK’S NIGHT

Alongside the much-anticipated Snoddon–Cocu trilogy, the French promotion will feature two further WKN European Championship contests.

Local favourite Rudy Rousset will challenge Spain’s Dostin Ortiz for European honours, while Eva Guillot meets Portugal’s Sofia Oliveira in another major international championship encounter.

The action-packed programme also includes a four-man K-1 tournament at 57kg, bringing together emerging French talent, alongside several professional superfights.

Among the other featured contests are Dawson Delys versus Constant Padabadi and Rémy Smith versus Eemran El Boujdaini, adding further international interest to an already impressive fight card.

With three European titles, tournament action and a strong supporting programme, Kick’s Night 2026 promises to deliver an outstanding evening for fight fans.

EUROPE FIRST – THEN THE WORLD

For Team ProKick, the mission is clear.

Snoddon already holds major championship honours and has demonstrated that he is prepared to face challenging opponents anywhere in the world.

But November 21 represents another opportunity to move his career to the next level.

Victory over Cocu on French soil would not only settle their rivalry but strengthen Snoddon’s credentials for a future WKN Professional World Championship challenge.

With the finishing touches now being put on his preparation at Belfast’s ProKick Gym, the Belfast Samurai is focused on the task ahead.

Nineteen professional fights. Three countries in seven weeks. One European title to chase.

Jay Snoddon isn’t travelling to France to make up the numbers.

He’s going to win.
