Updates from the world of kickboxing, including the return of Giorgio Petrosyan, a change to the Dynamite card, and a big fight announcement from Lion Fight.

It's been a busy news time in the international kickboxing world as of late, so here, we present a round up of the big recent news.

RETURN OF THE KING

Giorgio Petrosyan, once considered the Floyd Mayweather of kickboxing (for his skills, not his personality) was in action this past weekend. Petrosyan was the clear #1 in the world for years, but has been a bit in limbo since his 2013 loss to Andy Ristie. This weekend, he turned in a great performance, defeating Xu Yan in China. With that, he's 3-0 since the Ristie fight, and looks to have truly regained his form. Let's hope he gets back to Glory soon for the big fights there. Watch video of Petrosyan vs. Yan here:

Xu Yan was a good tune up fight before he returns to Glory. Rumor has it Petro will be rematching Ristie in October, but its not a done deal yet.
