Phnom Penh, Cambodia – April 9, 2026
Kombat Global proudly announces the Kombat Grand Prix & World Title Belt Championships, scheduled for June 25, 2026 in Phnom Penh, a landmark event that will mark a new chapter in the evolution of global combat sports.
The championship will feature seven elite professional bouts, including:
1 Kombat Taekwondo World Title Belt Bout
3 Kombat Taekwondo Bouts
3 Kombat Kun Khmer Bouts
The event will feature top ranked international fighters competing at the highest professional level, including a headline Kombat Taekwondo World Title Belt bout, showcasing the very best of the sport on the global stage.
This event represents a historic double milestone. It will be the first time Kombat Taekwondo is presented in Cambodia, introducing the nation to the world’s largest professional Taekwondo platform. At the same time, it will mark the first ever staging of Kombat Kun Khmer in Asia, elevating Cambodia’s national sport onto an international professional stage under the Kombat system.
More than a competition, this event reflects a long term strategic vision. Cambodia is positioned to become the global hub of Kombat Championships, anchoring the future of international combat sports.
Backed by General Khov Chhay and the Kun Khmer Federation, this partnership is driving Cambodia’s emergence as a global hub for Kombat Championships and international martial arts events.
“Cambodia’s Kun Khmer is the origin and father of modern Muay Thai, rooted in the ancient legacy of Angkor Wat. At its height, the powerful Khmer Empire controlled large parts of present day Thailand, reflecting the deep historical influence of Khmer martial traditions across the region,” said Rick W. Shin, President of KOMBAT.
With its rich martial arts heritage and growing international partnerships, Cambodia is set to play a central role in hosting world class events and developing elite athletes across multiple disciplines.
The Kombat Grand Prix & World Title Belt Championships will bring together top fighters, international officials, and global media distribution, delivering a high level professional production that is expected to boost sports tourism, expand global viewership, and further strengthen Cambodia’s presence on the international stage.
The event will be broadcast live on national television in Cambodia, while Kombat finalizes additional broadcast agreements with national TV networks worldwide, alongside worldwide digital streaming on YouTube and Kombat’s official social media and partner channels.
