Three World Kickboxing Network titles will be up for grabs at Boxing Fighters System II on March 14 in Nimes, France.

The French competitor claimed the belt by knockout in the first round against Nordine Saidane of Belgium in November 2016 at Simply the Best 12 Farciennes.
In the co-main event a newly-crowned WKN European super middleweight champion Samuel Dbili will be making the first defense of his title against a challenger, who will be announced shortly. The French fighter took the belt by split decision against Branko Babachev of Bulgaria last month in Perpignan.
