The Moldovan kickboxer Maxim Bolotov won’t fight the French Keta Bangaly. He was replaced by Colin George from the Netherlands.

"It’s not too good news, because we have prepared for one adversary and now have to change for another. Little time is left. I know how Colin fights and I am prepared, " said Bolotov.

His new foe is considered the tallest K-1 fighter. "The famous fighter Colin George was seen earlier by the Moldovan spectators. He fought Vladimir Tok and Tomas Hron in Chisinau," said FEA president Dorin Damir.

Maxim Bolotov has 15 fights under the K-1 rules. He won 9 and lost 4, as other two battles ended in a draw.

The KOK Gala will take place in Chişinău on April 1.
