Sven Fortenbacher on the verge of a big breakthrough?

He is the poster boy of Shooto Germany: Sven Fortenbacher from the German Top Team HQ will be published on 10.12.2022 at SHOOTO KINGS IX: Sengoku the main fight against the so far undefeated Georgian Nika Kupravishvili. No wonder, because until now the Reutlinger stands with Shooto Kings with an impeccable record of 2-0 (1 submission, 1 points win) at the top of the food chain. The No. 1 of the P4P Shooto Pro Rankings in Germany is at a crossroads in his career. Because, how should it continue after SHOOTO KINGS IX: Sengoku with the ambitious fighter?

Springboard to Japan?

Shortly before Corona, the up-and-coming fighter was active in Japan for the first time and won the gold medal at the Odawara BJJ Open. The fact that he defeated a fighter from the dojo of Shooto legend Rumina Sato in the final fight early by submission, brought him finally on the radar of Shooto Japan. Talks were already underway for Sven's first professional fight in Japan. But unfortunately the Corona Pandemic shattered all hopes of a fight in the land of the rising sun.

Then this June, Sven made headlines again with a remarkable fight against Japanese K1 star Shingo Yokoyama. His visibly improved stand-up was evident and with two medals at the ADCC German National Championships this year, he also showed that his ground fighting had improved tremendously.

Shooto Kings decides the future

His fight against Kupravishvili brings Sven again close to a possible fight in Japan. Should he also be successful in his third fight at Shooto Kings, this will definitely put him back in starting position towards Shooto Japan. But Kupravishvili is young, hungry and undefeated. So it will be a very tough course for the Shidokan world champion. He will need all the support of his fans on site in Herrenberg when he steps into the Octagon for the Main Event.
