After two events at Digital Art House and LED Unit studio, BAZARA 0 makes its arena debut at the 14,500-capacity Xiaomi Arena with “BAZARA 0 Fight Club III”. This is the same venue that hosted EuroBasket 2015 and welcomed the finals of EuroBasket 2025.
This rapid ascent from an underground and “invitation-only” show to arena-level production in just 18 months clearly shows the ambition of BAZARA 0 founder Danik Vesnenok, who has positioned BAZARA 0 as the fastest-growing combat sports brand in the Baltics.

They will fight each other at “BAZARA 0 Fight Club III” on January 10th, competing for the BAZARA 0 Fight Club Pound-for-Pound Kickboxing Champion belt. This will be the first time either of them fights in a cage.

Zaurs Džavadovs was born in Azerbaijan, but built his fighting career after his family relocated to Latvia. At age six, he started training Kyokushin Karate, becoming a two-time Latvian champion in the children’s division. By age 12, he transitioned to Ashihara Karate, where he captured five Latvian championships.
The turning point came at age 18, in 2004, when Džavadovs received an invitation to a K-1 training camp at the Chinook club in Belarus, after which he made the full transition to professional kickboxing in 2005.
His professional kickboxing record currently stands at 45 wins, 10 losses, and 1 draw. Džavadovs captured his first world title in 2009, when he knocked out Rene Klassen at just 1:54 of round one at the WKA Germany: Hamburg Fight Night to become the WKA K-1 European Champion. He then continued through victories in multiple organizations including WAKO, WFCA, WAK-1F, and BUSHIDO Fighting Championship.
The KOK organization became Džavadovs’ primary home, marking 2017 as his breakthrough year; he defeated Constantin Rusu by unanimous decision in the KOK World Grand Prix finals, winning the four-man welterweight tournament and earning a title shot. Later in October of 2017, Džavadovs faced Serghei Morari for the KOK World Championship at 77 kg and won.
Džavadovs accumulated championship after championship: 2016, he knocked out Brazilian fighter Rodrigo Ferreira in round three to capture the vacant BUSHIDO European Welterweight Championship; 2018, he dominated against Mouhcine Chafi at KOK 54, winning by unanimous decision with multiple knockdowns; 2018, he stopped Evgeniy Matyushonok by TKO at 1:12 of round two at KOK 60.
On July 2019 at LNK Fight Night 12, Džavadovs won a unanimous decision over Giorgi Kankava in a non-title catchweight bout at 76 kg, but the victory came at a price. He sustained an eye injury that required surgery and sidelined him for a full year. He returned in August of 2020, defeating Sebastian Fapšo by unanimous decision to win the WKN International Middleweight Championship at LNK Fight Night 16.
Džavadovs defended his KOK Welterweight Championship at KOK 125 on February 8th, 2025 against Hendrik Themas in a rematch of their 2022 encounter. He currently holds degrees from both the Latvian Academy of Sport Education and Riga Technical University, and now works as an elite striking coach based in Dubai, UAE, where he trains the next generation of fighters.
Born in Liepāja, Kristaps Zīle competes primarily at light heavyweight. His professional kickboxing record stands at 33 wins and 10 losses according to his GLORY Kickboxing profile, where he competed as an official roster fighter in the light heavyweight division.
He grew into his career through the amateur kickboxing ranks in Latvia and Lithuania during the early 2000s, becoming a Latvian Kickboxing Champion and Lithuanian Kickboxing Champion in the amateur ranks. In 2008, he won a bronze medal at the European Muay Thai Championship and earned the #1 position in the WFCA Baltic Best Rating. That same year, he made his professional K-1 debut against Zan Smidt.
One of his most significant early career fights came against Sergej Maslobojev, who would go on to become a two-time GLORY Light Heavyweight Champion. Zīle lost via decision for the Baltic Muay Thai Light Heavyweight title. He also fought in the Lion Fight promotion, a top Muay Thai league in the USA, challenging for the Lion Fight World Cruiserweight Title in 2018. Although he fell short in both title bids, the experience was factually more important.
Throughout the 2010s, Zīle continued accumulating experience and victories. He won tournaments in both Holland and Belgium and competed regularly for the King of Kings (KOK) organization, which became his primary promotional home alongside appearances in GLORY Kickboxing, Lion Fight Promotions, and Last Fighter Standing. In 2019, he also competed in Dubai at the Parus FC event. He clinched his highest accolade in late 2022, when he became the KOK European Light Heavyweight Champion.
The win over Pelak elevated Zīle to the #1 ranking in the KOK Light Heavyweight division as of 2025, positioning him for potential title opportunities. He fought Kristaps Zutis at KOK 127, which resulted in a controversial draw.
