Estonian combat sports fans are bracing for an unprecedented night of action as The League 13 takes over the Tondiraba Ice Hall in Tallinn on November 14, 2026. Blending high-stakes professional kickboxing, Muay Thai, and boxing with a highly publicized charity attraction, the event has already shattered local ticket sales records. With three WBC titles on the line and an international roster of fighters, The League 13 promises to be one of the most significant combat sports galas in Baltic history.

The Charity Spectacle: Kõlvart vs. Renno

While the professional bouts carry significant sporting weight, the most talked-about matchup of the evening is the charity boxing match between promoter Kevin Renno and politician Mihhail Kõlvart. The two men share a unique history; they worked together to organize the 2016 Martial Arts Games at this very venue, which also served as the stage for Renno’s last professional fight. Ten years later, the former top-level combat sports athlete is lacing up the gloves once again to face the Chairman of the Tallinn City Council.

Kõlvart brings a strong martial arts pedigree to the ring, possessing an extensive background in Taekwondo and sports administration. However, stepping into a pure boxing ruleset (scheduled for 3×3 minute rounds) against an experienced former professional presents a completely new challenge.

The bout transcends the sport, aiming to raise funds and awareness for family caregivers. The League has pledged a minimum of €10,000 from the fighters’ honorariums to support the family of Kaire and Kelli Parve. Additional funds are being raised through special supporter tickets, making this a true fight for a cause.

Professional Main Event: Mitjajev vs. Koffi

Anchoring the professional side of the card is a high-octane PRO K-1 clash at 80 kg. Local standout Ruslan Mitjajev will square off against Johan “Grimmjow” Koffi in a three-round battle. While the charity match may dominate the mainstream headlines, martial arts purists will be watching this bout closely. Mitjajev will look to defend home turf and deliver a statement victory against his international opposition to close out the night’s professional proceedings.

WBC Title Implications

The League 13 serves as a massive platform for Estonian strikers, particularly in the female divisions, with three WBC title fights prominently featured on the card.

  • Sigrid “The Terminator” Kapanen vs. Naomi Leigh Ridley: Competing for the WBC International Title in PRO Muay Thai (63.5 kg), Kapanen is a rising Estonian star. A victory over Great Britain’s Ridley could pave the way for a world title shot next year.
  • Astrid Johanna “Asteroid” Grents vs. Ludovica Ciarpaglini: The highly decorated Estonian striker, European Games gold medalist, and multi-time world champion will face Italy’s Ciarpaglini for the WBC International Title at 58.967 kg.
  • Kristo “Männu” Männistu vs. Vakaris Didika: In the men’s division, Estonia’s Männistu will battle Lithuania’s Didika for the WBC Baltic Title in a 66.7 kg PRO Muay Thai contest.
