TAMPA, Fla. (January 28, 2022) – Professional Kickboxing Event “King of Kings World Series” will be held in one of the most popular sports arenas, Ulker Sports and Event Hall in Istanbul, Turkey this evening. Jordan “Jay” Adams will be there to call the fights and viewers will be able to watch the much-anticipated fights on United Fight Alliance’s television networks this spring across the United States.
The best fighters from Turkey will compete against fighters from all over the world, each hungrier for the win than the other.
