In September 14, 1974 in Los Angeles sports arena, California (USA), was the first world championship in kickboxing. Champions of the tournament were Isaias Dueñas (Mexico) - a lightweight, Bill Wallace (USA) - middleweight champion, Jeff Smith (USA) - light heavyweight champion and Joe Lewis (USA) - in the heavyweight division.
After this victory, athletes are no longer met. But after 37 years Carl Emery (Switzerland), the founder of "Pantheon of sports and martial arts," realized the champions dream and gathered them together in the hall of fame, where Ivan Arpa - founder of Black Belt Watch company - personally gave each of them the emblematic Black Belt watch. The watches of the company are available in two versions - for professionals and owners of black belt and BB Series for the fans, who live by the basic provisions of Bushido: honor, respect, honesty, loyalty and generosity.
Carl Emery said: "I am impressed by this event, because the Fantastic Four, which laid the foundations for a new sport which so popular right now, gathered together again. I am proud to be able to put my share in this great occasion”.
