The Match-Ups
James "The Belfast Boy" Braniff (N,Ireland) vs. Roman Laroudie (France)
A collision of grit and precision, Braniff brings the ProKick work ethic and relentless pressure into enemy territory against one of France’s rising talents.
Jay “The Belfast Samurai” Snoddon vs. Jordon Cocu (France)
Back under the lights, Snoddon returns to the ring with steel in his eyes and unfinished business on his mind, facing a skilled and determined Cocu in what promises to be a technical and explosive contest.
The New Generation Showcase
Both bouts headline the “New Generation” feature — a spotlight reserved for elite young athletes who have already carved their names into the amateur ranks and are now stepping forward on one of Europe’s biggest professional stages.
Promoted and match-made by Habib Bakir, this France vs. Northern Ireland showdown brings together four fighters, four styles, and one unforgettable night of combat. Speed, power, intelligence, and heart will all be tested as the WKN’s rising stars collide in front of a packed international crowd.
More Than a Fight — A ProKick Mission
For ProKick, this is about more than wins and losses.
It’s about representing Belfast.
It’s about showcasing the ProKick Way.
And it’s about proving that our fighters belong on the biggest stages in Europe.
Negotiations are currently underway to bring BFS Edition 6 to fans worldwide via an exclusive live stream on ProKick.TV — so the ProKick family at home can follow every round, every strike, and every moment of this international challenge.
