1993

With karate moving closer to kickboxing in style, Ishii organizes the first K-1 Grand Prix at the Yoyogi Dai-Ichi Stadium in Tokyo. The event is held in a regulation-size boxing ring under the revolutionary K-1 rules, which permit punches to accommodate both karate and kickboxing fighters. A sellout crowd of 10,000 sees Branco Citatic win the first K-1 Championship. Two more K-1 events are held later in the year, and these are won by Satake and Ernesto Hoost.

1994

Peter Aerts wins the second K-1 Grand Prix, with newcomer Andy Hug losing in his first match. In September, Hug wins a ‘revenge’ bout at the Yokohama arena, and establishes himself as one of K-1’s first superstars.

1995

Aerts successfully defends his title at the 3rd K-1 Grand Prix in May. The following month, Hug’s native Switzerland hosts K-1 Fight Night, the rapidly growing sport’s first overseas event. More than 12,000 people watch favorite Hug win by knockout over WKA USA Champion Dennis Lane.
