On August 28th, 2025, the Lucky Punch IRL Fight Stream — produced by “BAZARA 0 Fight Club”, backed by Lucky Punch Energy Drink and WatchMeWin Casino — will offer a fight event you may regret missing out on.
Sixteen fighters, eight from Latvia and eight from Lithuania, will participate in hyper-speed fights lasting just 60 seconds each. This concept puts together the adrenaline of street fighting with the structure of a tournament, all live-streamed in real time for audiences across the Baltics.

Fighters will contend under boxing rules, wearing MMA gloves, and have exactly one minute to prove themselves. There are no feeling-out rounds here. The winner of the 16-man tournament takes home the €5,000 grand prize, and any fighter who scores a knockout within the 1-minute limit earns a €500 bonus on the spot.
TEAM LATVIA
Ričards Ozols
Fighter from Bauska, famously refuses to let fights go to the judges. Ozols holds a 4-4 professional MMA record and has won titles as the Ghetto Fight champion and a two-time Latvian pankration champion. Standing 192 cm, he has a reach and size advantage over many in this field. Every one of Ozols’ MMA fights has ended in a finish, win or lose.
Aleksandrs Dmitrijevs
One of the most technically experienced in TEAM LATVIA. Holds over 100 fights under his belt. A multiple-time Latvian national champion and winner of numerous international tournaments. At 180 cm/80 kg, he’s right at the event’s limit. Dmitrijevs says he’s driven by “the constant competition and desire to become better, to surpass myself”, and this new format is a way for him to test those instincts.
Krists Daniēls Placiņš
At 36, Placiņš is the elder statesman of TEAM LATVIA. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a former Latvian kickboxing champion. Placiņš is notorious as a bit of a wild card — a self-described “street fighter” who has participated in several fight shows and claims he has “never been knocked out” in all his years of scrapping. In the past, he’s helped train other fighters (notably Kristaps Zīle, Juris Zundovskis, Kristaps Zuļģis).
Artūrs Bode
A former hockey player turned fighter. After playing hockey from age 3 to 18, he transitioned first to amateur boxing — where he had around 10 fights and went unbeaten with 2 draws — and then into MMA. Bode had two professional MMA bouts in recent years (both losses by submission). He has trained with some of Latvia’s top coaches, including Daniels Riekstiņš and Jānis Naumovs, and for the last three years with Edgars Lipskijs. He describes himself as an athlete at heart who “wanted something more aggressive” after hockey.
Markuss Maksimovs
A merchant seaman by profession, Maksimovs has been training in boxing for only two years, yet he’s already compiled a 2–0 record in local “cage boxing” matches — a variant of boxing with MMA gloves similar to the Lucky Punch IRL Stream rules. In late 2023 and early 2024 he notched TKO victories in KSPROFL. For Markuss, stepping into the ring is the fulfillment of a childhood dream: “to climb into the arena ring and feel alive, fueled by adrenaline”.
Dans Bukovskis
Street-trained fighter who has transitioned into professional MMA and a product of the local “Ghetto Fight” scene. Unrefined, but aggressive. He’s been competing since his teens in everything from underground fights to sanctioned bouts abroad. Earlier this year, Bukovskis fought in Estonia and Finland. With only one minute to operate, Bukovskis will likely come out swinging for a quick finish. Big potential for the KO bonus!
Tomass Bileskalns
At 170 cm and 67 kg, Bileskalns arrives as one of the lighter entrants. He holds a 2–2–0 competitive record and a straight-to-the-point mindset: he’s coming for the €500 KO bonus. “I think it’s going to be crazy,” says Tomass. “I want to prove I belong with the big boys.”
Zahar Kotsiur
At just 18 years old, Kotsiur already brings more than 100 amateur boxing fights to his name. Standing 184 cm tall, he is a Ukrainian Sports Master in boxing who recently moved to Latvia. This year he swept the Latvian national championships, marking himself as one of the most promising young fighters on the scene. Now training under Jānis Naumovs at Jana Roviča Boksa Klubs, Kotsiur enters the tournament as one of the clear favorites.
TEAM LITHUANIA
Dainius Gedvilas
At 39 years old, Dainius is the most senior fighter in the tournament. A veteran of countless scraps, Gedvilas has an official bare-knuckle record of 5–0 (all knockouts) and around 20 total fights to his name. He scored a KO victory over Artūrs Leisāns in the Jungle King bare-knuckle tournament. Gedvilas spent five years in prison, and is now a family man. High chance of a massive KO here.
Igor Ševiakov
A 27-year-old former soldier with a well-rounded combat background. Ševiakov (often called by the nickname “Igor Šef”) stands at a solid welterweight status. During his military service, he competed in MMA for the army team, logging four amateur fights, and he’s also practiced disciplines like sambo and boxing. Outside the army, Igor isn’t shy about his love for a good street fight.
Kęstutis Kavaliauskas
“CAN’T WAIT TO TRY MY PEACE IN YOUR HELL,” writes Kęstutis, multi-sport champion and a name already known to many Baltic fight fans. Kavaliauskas has over 190 fights on his record across various disciplines, with around 170 victories to show for it. This includes being a Lithuanian K-1 kickboxing champion and a 3-time Shindokai-kan karate champion, as well as winning hand-to-hand combat championships during his time in the Lithuanian military. Earlier this year, Kavaliauskas headlined the KOK 126 kickboxing event in Vilnius, where he defeated Brazil’s Rodrigo “Mineiro” Ferreira in the main event.
Modestas Kazakevič
Part of the new generation of Lithuanian fighters coming up through MMA. He has 11 amateur MMA fights on his record. Modestas was inspired to join this event after spotting Lucky Punch clips on TikTok. He will be coming in at the upper weight limit. His motivation is to prove himself and find out what he’s capable of under these unusual rules.
Edvinas Černecovas
Brings a surprisingly rich fighting background to the table. Competing out of the Arėjas gym in Vilnius, Černecovas has fought in MMA (amateur record 1–1) and in kickboxing/Muay Thai, amassing around 60-65 fights in total. In 2023, he won a Baltic Open MMA championship in his category, and earlier this year he traveled to Riga for a Ghetto Fight event where he won via first-round submission.
Mantas Tevainis
Rounding out TEAM LITHUANIA is 27-year-old Mantas. While Mantas doesn’t have pro fights on his record, he did compete in a few amateur kickboxing bouts years ago. As a virtually unknown fighter, Mantas enters with zero pressure, and therefore can show a good wildcard moment.
Dominykas Semaška
At 24 years old and 180 cm tall, Semaška has already stepped into six fights across Muay Thai and kickboxing disciplines. Known for his laid-back yet competitive attitude, he says: “I’m all for any kind of movement, except starving. It’s great to see the guys moving, giving others a chance to earn a bit — I think that’s the right kind of movement.” Entering this new format, Semaška brings striking experience and a positive mindset that could translate into dangerous efficiency within the one-minute limit.
TBA
The 8th slot on TEAM LITHUANIA are expected to be filled by one more Lithuanian contender.
