WORLD youth kickboxing champion Evan Collins swelled his impressive CV with victory in the European Cup Zagreb Open held in Croatia.
The Skibbereen teen hit the headlines in 2024 with his World title in the older cadet -57kg kick light category, and has changed style this year to the low kick discipline in the ring. So far, so good, as Evan proved in Croatia.
The West Cork Kickboxing Club rising star, coached by the renowned Ian Kingston, beat fighters from Slovakia, Hungary and Germany, the latter in the final, to bring home the top prize in his -60kg division and win the Karlovac Cup. Next up for Evan is the Hungarian World Cup in June.
