The coach

Forged across three continents

Sotir Kichukov grew up in Pomorie, a fishing and salt town on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast that the ancient world knew as Anchialo. He first stepped onto the mats in 2006, became a Bulgarian kickboxing champion at only his second competition, then turned professional and reigned through the Max Fight promotion to claim its bantamweight championship.

Around 2015 he signed with ONE Championship and became recognised as the first Bulgarian to compete in the promotion, fighting at flyweight against names such as Ma Hao Bin and Danny Kingad. He coached at Saigon Sports Club in Vietnam before settling in Melbourne, where he now leads Combat and Performance Training.
