Sven Fortenbacher should be well remembered by fans from the last SHOOTO KINGS in December. In a three-round ring battle, the world champion from the German Top Team defeated the Ukrainian Shidokan world champion in Glove Karate Anatolij Ihnato and created a sensation. After winning the Shidokan Triathlon world title last June in Ukraine, he faced the world champion in Glove Karate (kickboxing) in a Shooto Fight and underlined his international top position with his victory.
Now, almost half a year later, the showcase athlete from the German Top Team is back in the ring at SHOOTO KINGS VIII: Samurai Spirit on May 18 in the Wittumhalle in Reutlingen. And once again he has sought out a tough challenge to demand everything of himself as a fighter. His opponent will be far more experienced than Sven and will make the young athlete have to show his A-game. So the fans can look forward to a real grenade fight in Reutlingen and Sven will need all the support of his fans to pass this acid test as well.
