Meeting of Legends – Zsolt Erdei vs. Attila Végh
On December 20, at the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna, we will once again witness a historic moment in sports. On the HBK gala stage, two true legends, champions from two different martial arts disciplines, will step into the ring against each other.
40-year-old Attila Végh, former Kempo and MMA world champion, is one of the greatest figures in his sport, who has made history with his fearless style and devastating power. Although he became internationally known in the MMA world, he has continuously honed his hand techniques, allowing him to move confidently in the boxing ring as well.
Facing him is 51-year-old Zsolt Erdei, known to the Hungarian audience simply as “The Bird.” Erdei won both European and World titles in amateur boxing, as well as an Olympic bronze medal. As a professional, he claimed the WBO world title in 2004 and later the WBC title, becoming one of the most significant figures in Hungarian boxing. After more than a decade, he returns to the ring to show once again that his legendary technique and speed still provide an unforgettable experience for the audience.
Two different eras, two different styles, but a shared denominator: the passion for fighting and the champion mentality. Zsolt Erdei’s precision and refined boxing technique will clash with Attila Végh’s brutal power and relentless fighting spirit.
This encounter goes beyond a simple match: it is a battle of respect, humility toward the sport, and commitment to the fans.

Andrej Csemez vs Zoltán Csiki
Andrej Csemez is one of the biggest discoveries of the organization, the guy they call Muhammad Ali showed why in his fight with Sučevič this summer! This time he’s facing four-time Hungarian champion Zoltán Csiki.
Csemez is the first boxer in 25 years to qualify for the Olympics under the Slovak flag. He earned the Muhammad Ali nickname thanks to his flashy, entertaining style, which he showed in his dominant HBK debut against Sučevič. After 220 amateur wins, that was his first pro fight. And he’s determined to keep his pro record clean as long as possible!
Before the fight, Csiki sent a loud message: “If you’re Muhammad Ali, then I’m Mike Tyson!” Beating Csemez would put him in a fantastic position in the organization. One thing’s clear, this will be the toughest test of Csiki’s career.

Kruzító still remembers beating Oláh Levente in a battle of Hungary’s top talents to reach the finals. In Budapest this summer, he beat Korede Lawrence, marking his fifth organizational win. The five-time Hungarian champion feels that another victory could bring him closer to the title he dreams of.
Representing the Czech flag is Lukáš Matta, who earned over 60 amateur wins and gained experience in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Montreal.
Will Kruzító get one step closer to the belt? Or will Matta enter the HBK history books as the guy who came, saw, and conquered?

Hungarian and intercontinental champ Tamás Kiliti returns to Budapest! After a six-month break, young Bulgarian Lazar Dimitrov has agreed to a rematch.
Veteran Kiliti has 11 pro wins, six of them by finish. A dedicated Fehérvár supporter, he’s determined to earn title-contender status in this rematch. His loss in their first fight still keeps him up at night, so this time he promises to be harder, faster, and sharper.
Lazar Dimitrov, known for his insane conditioning, appears in the HBK ring for the third time. Fans still remember his stunning fight against Szarás Gergely, one of the organization’s all-time classics. Can he get another early finish, or will Kiliti finally taste his sweet revenge?
