Caleb Gouck has been crowned the new K1 NSW Welterweight State Champion.

K1 kickboxing is a fast-paced modern style of kickboxing first established in 1993 as a martial arts organisation and martial arts brand.

Since then, it has become a worldwide organisation.

Sparks were flying on Saturday, August 5, as the Supremacy Fight Series returned to the Wyong League’s Club for an evening of kickboxing and Muay Thai fuelled action.

Rising star Gouck returned in a rematch against a 26-year-old opponent and became the new NSW MASA State Welterweight Champion.

Five rounds of back-and-forth action left the 16-year-old prodigy on the edge.

Round five was a no-holds-barred slugfest as both contenders fought with all they had, leaving nothing behind, with Caleb eventually winning the final round.

His 8-3 amateur record brings a technical style to the ring.

Caleb put on an impressive display of skill in his Supremacy Fight series debut in April, where he first beat the 26-year-old opponent.

“This kid is only 16 years old winning titles against adult men,” Fight Factory + Fitness head trainer Luke Draper said.

“I can’t wait to see how far we can go with this.

“Keep your eyes on this young gun because he is just getting started.”
