OKTAGON’s Irish double champion is straight back in action after his devastating display this past weekend.
Will Fleury (17-3, 1NC) will put his light heavyweight belt on the line opposite former Glory kickboxer, Daniel Škvor (11-4), at OKTAGON 92 in the stunning outdoor setting of Štvanice, Prague. The rematch will take place on Saturday, August 1, which promises to be one of the most stacked shows of the calendar. This spectacular summer event will also mark the Czech leg of our ten-year anniversary celebrations and is already totally sold out.
The SBG Ireland product originally faced Škvor in his debut for the promotion in Birmingham during 2024 where he was victorious by submission during the second round. Fleury used that moment as a springboard to go on one of the most dominant runs the organisation has ever seen, claiming both the light heavyweight and heavyweight titles. This bout will mark the first defence of his crown at 205lbs and he wants to top his previous performance against Škvor to prove once again that he is amongst the best in the world.
Since his loss to Fleury, ‘DeeDee’ has picked up four wins in a row and all were finished before the end of the second round including against Marc Doussis and Patrick Vespaziani. Over the last year, Škvor has evolved into a well-rounded mixed martial artist and he now looks confident wherever the contest takes place. Has his game progressed enough to close the previous skillset gap in order to topple the current hottest property in European MMA? All questions will be answered in Štvanice!
Elsewhere on the card, fellow OKTAGON double champion, Lucia Szabova, looks to defend her bantamweight strap opposite Lucie Pudilova in the female ‘Fight of the Century’. Hafeni Nafuka locks horns with Tomáš Mudroch and Miroslav Brož comes out of retirement to face Rafael Aronov.
