MAX FC 30 IN Iksan Main Event Middleweight Champion Kim Jun-hwa Changed to the 2nd Defense Match

Initially, MAX FC decided that the first defense match of female featherweight champion Yoo Ji-ho was the main match, but the match was canceled due to Yoo Ji-ho's injury, and the comedy event, Kim Joon-hwa (37/Anyang Samsan) and Jeong Yeon-woo (21/Gwangju Yangsan Phoenix Gym), changed from Super Fight to the second title defense match of the middleweight division, and decided to celebrate the competition by raising the level of the 30th MAX FC competition, which marks its 10th anniversary this year.
Kim Joon-hwa debuted at the 2nd MAX FC competition in 2015 and became a middleweight champion at the 16th MAX FC competition in 2018, followed by a successful first defense against Kim Min-seok at the 20th MAX FC competition in 2019, and then became the welterweight champion at a lower weight class in 2020, becoming the first Korean heavyweight champion to win the 2nd weight class.
Jeong Yeon-woo is a next-generation ace who has rapidly emerged as the next heavyweight ace by reaching the final in the unlimited quarterfinals of the First League 19 tournament held in May 2022 and has been ranked No. 1 since November 2022. The match between the two players is a place to determine the strongest in the heavyweight division, but it is also a place where the 37-year-old and 21-year-old Shin-gu compete. Whether Kim Jun-hwa's rise will continue without breaking down or whether the new next-generation ace Jeong Yeon-woo will become the new strongest is making the hearts of martial arts fans as well as officials.
MAX FC CEO Lee Yong-bok said, `This is a special competition to celebrate the 10th anniversary. Fortunately, there was an outstanding player named Kim Jun-hwa, who has been active for the longest time in our competition, so we were able to set up a main game suitable for that. Challenger Jeong Yeon-woo is a MAX FC kid who wants to see MAX FC. I know he is a player who is not lacking in the slightest to challenge the name Kim Jun-hwa. It will be an important game to prove the many things that the two players carry, and it will be a game that fans have a lot to enjoy. It is expected to be the best match to satisfy the audience who visited the site and the viewers who are watching online," he said in his presentation.
This 'MAX FC 30 IN Iksan' will be held at Iksan Indoor Stadium in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. For two days, 254 players, including seven professional games, 20 Sesemi professional games, and 100 amateur games, will participate. All seats except VIP seats are free of charge.
