In addition to the historic Grand Prix tournament in the up to 75 kg category in Varna, Bulgaria, on February 28, SENSHI 30 will also feature three super fights, one of which will once again include Bulgarian participation. One of the fighters who will step into the SENSHI ring for the second time is the 19-year-old kickboxer Diyan Dimitrov.
In an interview for Bulgaria ON AIR television, he spoke about how the final days of intense preparation before the fight gala are going and how he is getting ready to defeat his experienced Greek opponent, Charalampos Digkas.
“Preparation is going great, I’m already in the final stage of it. The last training sessions are being counted down, all that’s left is to cut weight. The opponent is good, as always. We have to face good fighters in order to become better,” Dimitrov said on the program “Bulgaria Sutrin.”
He admitted that the training sessions are tough. “I train every day – both in the morning and in the evening. They include cardio, sparring, endurance, and strength work. We analyze the opponent’s strengths. My opponent has an aggressive style, he moves forward. My coach and I always work in a way that allows us to finish my opponent with a knockout, but that’s not the most important thing,” added the fighter from the city of Dobrich on air on Bulgaria ON AIR. Fans of combat sports can support him live at the Congress Hall of the Palace of Culture and Sports, and tickets for the fight show SENSHI 30 are still available on Eventim.bg.
“The crowd is a huge motivation. When people explode with excitement, your strength comes from within, and that motivates you even more. I don’t have rituals before fights, I’m fully focused on the bout. In one year and eight months, I became a world champion, and now I am already a world champion among men as well,” Diyan Dimitrov admitted.
The way he relieves the tension from kickboxing training and professional sport is by taking walks in nature.
“No matter how tough the losses are, you have to learn from them, not let them break you. Personally, losses motivate me extremely strongly. The older fighters motivate us and see the future in us,” the fighter added.
According to Diyan, the most important thing is victory, and he promised the fans that he would give his very best in the upcoming clash at the end of February. Watch the full interview with the ambitious 19-year-old fighter on the Bulgaria ON AIR television website.
