Krush.11: 55 KG. Champion Shota Takiya, Keiji Ozaki Set to Appear August 14th

Initial details have come in a Krush event scheduled for next month, and it is evident that the Japanese kickboxing promotion is looking to continue building on a strong showing in early 2011.

Scheduled for August 14th, Krush.11 will feature multiple championship bouts and an appearance from promotional 55 kg. champion Shota Takiya.

In a move that speaks to Krush's willingness to operate alongside other organizations, Krush.11 will also host two ISKA title bouts. Former AJKF champion and Krush 55 kg. tournament competitor Nobuchika Terado will be featured in one of the two ISKA title bouts, while RISE standout Keiji Ozaki will be featured in another.

It seems that Krush will have a pretty solid set of bouts coming up through the course of the next month. The promotion will complete their fourth championship tournament of the year next weekend, as the semifinal and final rounds of their 70 kg. bracket will be hosted on July 16th. That event will feature semifinal bouts pitting Hiroki Nakajima against Kenta and Shintaro Matsukura against Yutaro Yamauchi, as well as an appearance by promotional 60 kg. champion Hirotaka Urabe.
