🔥🥊 WKO IRELAND PRESENTS – IGNITE 2 🥊🔥

A MASSIVE DAY OF LIGHT-CONTACT ACTION IN BIRR! 🇮🇪

On 19th September, Birr, County Offaly becomes the centre of WKO light-contact action as IGNITE 2 returns — organised and run by Raphael Creamer and, recently awarded his 3rd Dan Black Belt by WKO Ireland President Grandmaster Billy O'Sullivan, 10th Dan.

What started as a light-contact match show is developing into a huge event on the WKO calendar, bringing clubs and fighters together from right across Ireland.

🌍 CLUBS TRAVELLING FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY!

We will welcome clubs from Mayo, Sligo, Meath, Westmeath, Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Tipperary, Limerick, Kilkenny, Laois and THREE clubs from County Offaly, with fighters travelling from three provinces of Ireland for what promises to be a fantastic day of competition.

🔥 THREE PARTS – ONE MASSIVE EVENT 🔥

The action begins with 15 demonstration bouts, giving developing fighters valuable experience before we move into a mammoth 18-fight undercard followed by an 18-fight main card!

One of the biggest attractions of the entire day will be the:

🇮🇪🏆 FOUR-TEENAGER WKO LOW KICK LIGHT IRISH TITLE TOURNAMENT! 🏆🇮🇪

🥊 Ben Ginson – Birr K-1 Kickboxing & Self-Defence Club
🥈 Midlands Championships Low Kick Light Silver Medallist

🥊 Rhys Buckley – Moate MMA & Fitness
🇮🇪 Current WKO Low Kick Irish Title Contender

🥊 Luke O'Sullivan – Shannon Kickboxing
🏆 Current WKO Low Kick Irish Champion

🥊 Samuel De Felice – Top Pro Carlow
🥇 Current Midlands Championship Low Kick Light Gold Medallist

Four talented teenagers. Four excellent gyms. One Irish title.

The draw will be made on the day, setting up two huge semi-finals. The two winners will then have to recover, regroup and step back onto the mats later that day for the WKO Low Kick Light Irish Title Final.

🔥 FOUR TEENAGERS ENTER
⚔️ TWO SEMI-FINALS
🥊 TWO ADVANCE
🏆 ONE FINAL
🇮🇪 ONE WKO IRISH CHAMPION

From youngsters gaining their first taste of competition in the demonstration bouts to established young fighters chasing Irish championship honours, IGNITE 2 is about creating opportunities, building experience and showcasing the next generation of WKO talent.
