Along with the Eastman fight, Kang is also slated to defend his Spirit MC heavyweight title against longtime rival Jae Young Kim at Spirit MC 18 on August 31st in Korea.
“I’m training my ass of right now,” Kang said on the show. “August 31st
I’m defending my Spirit MC heavyweight belt against Jae Young Kim. A
lot of people don’t know who he is in North America but I’ve fought him
twice before and he’s a very tough guy. Then October 25th I’ll be
fighting for Raw Combat against Marvin Eastman.”

Mousasi at DREAM.2 in April. Prior to that, Kang suffered a devastating
first-round knockout loss to Yoshihiro Akiyama at a K-1 Hero’s event in
October 2007. Kang’s fight with Raw Combat will be the first time he
has fought in Canada in close to five years.

will be his third since moving down to the middleweight division. Full Article
