Fran Zuccala will attempt to with the ISKA World Light-middleweight kickboxing for the third time

Former World Kickboxing Champion Fran Zuccala emerged for a two year hiatus to announce he will challenge Ireland’s Vinny Di Rucio for the vacant ISKA World Light-middleweight World kickboxing on the 15th July in Kilkenny, Ireland. Zuccala has already held the title twice winning it back after a failed defence, a third win would put him in the record books.

Fran Zuccala was involved in some of the best Kickboxing matches staged in the UK, anyone who witnesses his title defence against Frenchman Willy Burrell of his first epic battle with John Orchard for the right to be ranked the UK’s No.1 middleweight would testify to that.

It’s great to see Zuccala back, but European Champion Vinny Di Rucio is a seasoned campaigner a more than worthy co-challenger, Zuccala has set a tough task for himself, it will be interesting to see if he can shake off the ring rust and regain some of his old form.
