🔥 Gurkan Ozkan vs Sam Soliman – Tarik Solak K3 Eliminator Final (1995) 🔥 The final of the Tarik Solak K3 Eliminator Tournament in 1995 came down to two warriors who had already fought twice that night… and were now fighting for $10,000 and tournament glory. By the time the final rolled around, both men were battle-tested and exhausted, but neither was willing to back down. On one side was Gurkan Ozkan, a tough Turkish-Australian fighter from Melbourne who was part of the early wave of fighters showcased on the fast-growing promotions of legendary promoter Tarık Solak. Solak’s shows helped build the Australian kickboxing scene in the 1990s and eventually connected Oceania fighters to the global K-1 stage. Across the ring stood a young Sam Soliman, already known for his relentless pace and pressure style. Soliman would later become an IBF Middleweight Boxing World Champion in 2014, proving his durability and championship mindset across multiple combat sports. But on this night in 1995, it was all about survival. Three fights in one night. No easy rounds. No backing down. When the dust settled, Gurkan Ozkan emerged victorious, claiming the $10,000 prize and the K3 Eliminator title after a brutal night of tournament fighting. This fight is a snapshot of the golden era of Australian kickboxing — when fighters would compete multiple times in one night and leave everything in the ring. 🥊 True warriors. True tournament fighting. Watch the full fight and relive one of the toughest tournament finals of the 90s. #FightRewind1 #KickboxingHistory #AustralianKickboxing #GurkanOzkan #SamSoliman #TarikSolak #K3Eliminator #KickboxingLegends #CombatSportsHistory #90sKickboxing #MuayThai #FullFight #VintageKickboxing #FightArchive #RingWars
