Michele Briamonte at the Royal Palace of Venaria
Kickboxing, Revolt, the new Italian circuit, arrives – The announcement at the Night of Kick and Punch 16 – Black Tie Edition 3
On Saturday 8 June, at the Reggia di Venaria, on the occasion of the Night of Kick and Punch 16 – Black Tie Edition 3, the new kickboxing circuit created by Angelo Valente and the lawyer Michele Briamonte will be announced: Revolt. At the press conference held on Monday 3 June in the Sala Affreschi of the historic Palazzo Isimbardi, headquarters of the Metropolitan City of Milan, the belt that will go to the Revolt champion was presented. “It’s an innovative circuit for Italy – explains Angelo Valente – and not only for the quality of the athletes who will be part of it, but also for the quality of the events and for the purses which will be significantly higher than any amount ever received by kickboxing champions in Italy and perhaps also in Europe. Revolt wants to be a point of arrival for Italian athletes, as the K-1 Grand Prix, Rizin and One Championship are in Asia. You don’t sign with One Championship to make yourself known and then fight on another circuit, One Championship is the point of arrival. Kickboxing is experiencing a period of great popularity globally and Asia is the continent where the most important events are organised. On June 19, 2022, in Japan, for an event on the Rizin circuit, with the challenge between Tenshin Nasukawa and Takeru Segawa as the highlight, 56 thousand tickets were sold at the Tokyo Dome. With all due respect to those who maintain that kickboxing is a minor sport.”
Night of Kick and Punch 16 – Black Tie Edition 3
Organized by Angelo and Marianna Valente in collaboration with the Sap Fighting Style of the lawyer Michele Briamonte and in partnership with AB Consulting, Sicurjob Srl and H-Onelab Srl, the Night of Kick and Punch 16 – Black Tie Edition 3 will be hosted inside of the beautiful Citroniera of the Royal Palace of Venaria. They will present the event The Donatellas (Silvia and Giulia Provvedi) together with Valerio Lamannathe voice of combat sports in Italy (Let the warriors enter the arena is the phrase that distinguishes it). The reference federation is Federkombat-Lega Pro Italia, the only kickboxing federation recognized by CONI. The former Wako-Pro super welterweight world champion Georgian Cimpeanu, the former Wako-Pro featherweight world champion Luca Grusovin, the MTGP intercontinental welterweight champion Amro Ghanem and many other top-level athletes will enter the ring. Spectators will watch the fights while sitting at the table and enjoying a refined dinner.
How did the third black tie edition of the Night of Kick and Punch come about? The lawyer Michele Briamonte explains it: “The opportunity to host the Night of Kick and Punch – Black Tie Edition for the third time is the consequence of the success of the sporting initiative in the two previous editions. The challenge of combining culture and sport at the Royal Palace of Venaria proved successful. In fact, this magnificent Savoy Royal Residence has sport and courage in its DNA: it was the place dedicated to the learning of hunting and hunting arts by the young Savoy nobility, as well as the setting for the practice of ancient pleasures which are the basis of many modern sports disciplines. Since I took office as President of the Consortium of Royal Savoy Residences, together with the Board of Directors we have wanted the Royal Palace of Venaria to host sporting events of international importance such as the European cross (an athletics specialty) in 2022, the black tie editions of the Night of Kick and Punch and the start of the Giro d’Italia 2024. This last event also has particular significance given the close correlation to the national and sporting values that the Giro d’Italia has represented for generations for Italians and beyond. These initiatives have given a great return to the Royal Palace of Venaria both in economic terms and in terms of media exposure and institutional relations. Next June 8th The Night of Kick and Punch 16 – Black Tie Edition 3 will be particularly engaging for me since it will be the edition in which I will be able to participate – as house master of ceremonies – after having conquered with my master Angelo Valente and our team the WKF kickboxing world title in the 70kg Masters category. In this capacity, it will be double for me the pleasure that the important people we will have among the guests can learn more about or see kickboxing for the first time, a sport that I love and which can be a vehicle for many values that are particularly relevant in the times we live in. .”
