" warriors in the ring"
Munich - The Steko brothers, Pavlica and Mladen, are about to celebrate a milestone: on November 18, they'll celebrate their 35th anniversary with a spectacular martial arts event at BMW Park.
The Steko brothers have proven their prowess in the world of martial arts, turning their boxing events into a mainstay on the martial arts scene. Fans from across the globe flock to witness the thrilling matches.
The Steko brothers, once world champions themselves, now train national athletes and have produced over 27 professional world champions in boxing, kickboxing and Thai boxing at their events, which have graced the screens of Sat.1, Kabel 1 and Sport1.
Five world championships will be contested again on Saturday. A host of successful fighters, such as Dr. Christine Theiss, Ramin Abtin (Biggest Loser Trainer), Sebastian Preuß (RTL Bachelor), Danyo Ilunga (most successful German K1 fighter, No.1 Glory), Marie Lang (model, fashion designer) and many others, will be in attendance.
The world championship bouts
► Oscar Plasene (21/EX-WKU World Champion/GER) vs. Alex Rodriguez (28/KWU World Champion/SPA)
World champion Rodriguez remains confident: "He lost to me and will lose the world championship fight against me once more. I'm ready. I won't be coming to Germany to lose."
He jabbed: "I won the world title and I aim to keep it for a long time."
Plasene can't help but bristle. The trial for his brother's death is now behind him: "That was a heavy burden for me and my family. I've been training hard. Unfortunately, I lost the previous match, but this time I'm determined to face hell in the ring and reclaim the world title. He took away my dream of becoming a world champion," said the Steko fighter.
