ROME, Italy — December 5, 2026 — One of Europe’s most established combat sports events is preparing to celebrate a major milestone as OKTAGON 30 YEARS brings an international spotlight to Rome, featuring a four-man K-1 Rules tournament with a potential opportunity to compete in Japan’s prestigious kickboxing circuit.

The anniversary event will take place on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at the PalaPellicone in Ostia, Rome, marking three decades of OKTAGON’s contribution to European combat sports.

Among the four competitors is reigning ISKA World Champion Daniele Scuro, who will face three accomplished Italian challengers in a single-elimination tournament at 60kg.

The tournament will feature Oscar “Battle Beast” Cambiaghi, Adam “Mr. Fantastic” Stroppa, Daniele Scuro and Salvatore “The Rooster” Piacentino, with the eventual winner earning an opportunity to enter Japan’s elite combat sports circuit.

Daniele Scuro: ISKA World Champion Eyes Another Major Achievement

Representing Kombat Barletta, 26-year-old Daniele Scuro enters the tournament with an impressive championship résumé.

The reigning ISKA World Champion at 59kg holds a professional record of 17 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats, including one win by stoppage.

His achievements include:

ISKA World Championship

ISKA European Championship

WKU World Championship

Italian National Championship

Although Scuro normally competes at 59kg, his international championship experience makes him a significant contender in the 60kg tournament.

With an opportunity to advance toward Japan’s premier kickboxing circuit, Scuro will look to add another important achievement to his growing international career.

Oscar “Battle Beast” Cambiaghi: The Young Contender

At just 19 years old, Oscar Cambiaghi represents Lottatori Milano and enters the tournament with a record of 15 victories and 3 defeats, including seven stoppage wins.

Cambiaghi has already demonstrated his abilities against international opposition.

In March, he defeated Hungary’s Zombie Nemeth at The Arena in Campione d’Italia.

He followed that performance with a victory over WKU European Champion Xristos Zoumpoulis at Evolution Fight in July.

His combination of youth and competitive experience makes him one of the tournament’s notable contenders.

Adam “Mr. Fantastic” Stroppa: An Explosive Challenger

Representing Fight House Pesaro, 26-year-old Adam Stroppa brings a record of 12 victories and 4 defeats, with eight wins coming before the final bell.

Known for his creative and unpredictable fighting style, Stroppa enters the competition following an important victory at Pure Dominion on June 21.

There, he defeated seven-time German world champion Dennis “Lucky Luke” Haddad by KO/TKO.

That result strengthened Stroppa’s credentials ahead of his appearance at OKTAGON 30 YEARS.

Salvatore “The Rooster” Piacentino: Sicily’s Rising Talent

At 24 years old, Salvatore Piacentino represents Athena Trapani and the Italian region of Sicily.

Piacentino enters the tournament with a professional record of 8 victories and 2 defeats.

He recently captured an Italian national championship and continued building momentum with an appearance at Evolution Fight in Rosolini, where he faced a Maltese champion.

Although he enters the competition with less experience than some of his opponents, Piacentino will have an opportunity to establish himself against nationally and internationally recognized fighters.

Two Victories in One Night: The Road to Japan

The tournament will follow a traditional four-man, single-elimination K-1 Rules format, requiring the eventual champion to win two fights on the same evening.

The semifinal matchups will be determined by a draw.

The two semifinal winners will advance to the tournament final, where one fighter will emerge victorious and secure the opportunity to enter Japan’s elite kickboxing circuit.

The format brings back one of the most exciting traditions associated with OKTAGON, combining the pressure of elimination competition with the challenge of multiple fights in a single evening.

For ISKA World Champion Daniele Scuro, the tournament represents an opportunity to carry his championship experience onto another major international stage.
