Sean Barrett presents Phoenix From the Ashes at the historic Theatre Royal.
It’s a landmark night for the city, with Waterford hosting its first professional kickboxing contest in decades, making this one of the biggest nights the sport has seen in the region for many years.
Headlining the action is Belfast’s Jay Snoddon, who takes on Viacheslav Ibrahimovic over 3 x 3-minute rounds under K-1 rules. In the co-main event, ProKick star James Braniff faces the dangerous Sam Simon, while completing the ProKick trio is 16-year-old Max “Maximus” Murray, who continues his exciting rise on a packed 15-fight card.
Sean Barrett has worked tirelessly to bring professional kickboxing back to Waterford, and this promises to be an unforgettable night of top-class action.
Limited tickets remain available online from the Theatre Royal.
