King of Kings (abbreviated as KOK) is a European kickboxing organization established in 2009, with its main office located in Vilnius, Lithuania.

History

Since hosting its inaugural event in Lithuania in 2009, KOK has conducted more than 100 events throughout various nations such as Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Estonia, Russia, Germany, and Cyprus. The promotion made its entry into the Estonian market in 2015 and later expanded to Finland by 2019. Additionally, KOK has partnered with K-1 for joint events and worked alongside the FEA Fighting Entertainment Association to stage competitions in Moldova.

Name

The letters "K" in KOK stand for Kickboxing, K-1, Karate, Kung-Fu, and other striking martial arts disciplines. Furthermore, they represent the term “King,” with "King of Kings" symbolizing supremacy on a global scale.

Media coverage

KOK events are televised on several channels including FightBox, DAZN, TV3 Sport in the Baltics, Prime Fight, Eleven Sports, and Fight Network.

In January 2022, a distribution agreement was formed with United Fight Alliance to reach audiences in the United States. On 30 September 2022, KOK secured a three-year worldwide broadcasting contract with DAZN, excluding coverage in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

Previously, KOK programming was available on Eurosport across Europe during 2014 and 2015. Other former broadcasters include BTV (Lithuania), Canal 3, Lietuvos rytas TV, and TV6 (Estonia).

Rules

The majority of contests under KOK adhere to kickboxing regulations; however, the promotion also features mixed martial arts and boxing matches at its events.
