WGP Kickboxing is your gateway to the excitement and adrenaline of the sport.

Paulo Zorello is the icon of kickboxing in Brazil. As president of the CBKB and vice-president of WAKO IF, he transformed the landscape of the sport. In 2011, Paulo and his son Paulinho realized that many talented athletes needed more opportunities. They created a platform that allows these champions to shine in the ring and pursue their passions without giving up their careers.

History

The WGP was created to bring together the best kickboxers from Latin America in a vibrant circuit. Offering high-level competitions in a fair and accessible format, the WGP emerged at a crucial moment when many athletes were migrating to MMA. With K-1 rules, we prioritize dynamics and fluidity, providing exciting fights that highlight skill in every punch and kick.

Expansion

WGP Kickboxing began its triumphant journey in the western region of São Paulo, quickly winning over the public. With overwhelming success, the event expanded to Espírito Santo, putting Brazilian and Pan-American titles on the line. The edition at the Ibirapuera gym marked a turning point, solidifying WGP as the main kickboxing event in Brazil. Years of growth have led WGP to new cities, revealing talents and promoting the sport throughout the country.
