Where Enfusion remains the established name for classic kickboxing, 8TKO stands for pure action, innovation, and variety.
A New Brand Under the Enfusion Banner.
8TKO is a full-fledged combat sports brand within the Enfusion group. The big difference? The breadth of the sport and the intensity of the bouts. 8TKO stages events in the widest sense of the word: from MMA and Muay Thai to Kickboxing and Xtreme Stand Up. And whether it's in the familiar ring or in the cage, 8TKO brings the spectacle to the arena and to living rooms.
What makes 8TKO truly unique in Europe is a format built entirely around maximum entertainment value:
• The 4oz Revolution: At 8TKO the focus is on fighting with 4oz gloves. Our test bouts in 2025 left no doubt: the fans are on the edge of their seats. The impact is greater, the pace is higher, and a KO is always in the air.
• Tournament Format & Weight Classes: We give the spotlight to divisions that are undervalued elsewhere, such as the Lightweight and Middleweight divisions. These tournaments are preferably contested in the cage and with 4oz gloves.
• 5x3 Duration: For the true connoisseurs of technique and endurance, we introduce the 5x3-minute structure in championship fights and superbouts, including the 10oz bouts.
The strength of this partnership lies in the combination. With an ambition of 8 to 10 events per year, we offer a complete experience:
1. Enfusion: Opens the night (often around 19:00) with the quality kickboxing we're known for.
2. 8TKO: Takes over (often around 21:00) for the harder, faster work in the cage or ring.
Although 8TKO is part of Enfusion, both shows are separate productions with their own identity. This way we serve both the traditional kickboxing fan and the lover of modern, multidisciplinary spectacle.
