ARMY OF FIGHTERS 6 COUNTDOWN BEGINS FOR NOVEMBER 20 EVENT IN ISTANBUL

Istanbul, Türkiye — The countdown has begun for Army of Fighters 6, with the sixth edition of the combat sports organization scheduled to take place on November 20, 2026, at Grand Cevahir Hotel in Istanbul.

The event will be broadcast live on TV8.5, while Army of Fighters also aims to reach combat sports audiences in international markets through its wider broadcasting network.

Founded in Istanbul in 2019, Army of Fighters has continued to develop its professional event structure in kickboxing and combat sports. After its first four events in 2021 and 2022, the organization returned to the ring with Army of Fighters 5 on December 26, 2025. The sixth event will now bring the series back to Istanbul on November 20.

FOUR MATCHUPS CONFIRMED FOR AOF 6

The fight card for Army of Fighters 6 has begun to take shape, with four matchups currently confirmed:

* Fatima El Ftam vs. Melis Nazlıcan Talun
* Ahmed Fisal vs. Beytullah Gökalp
* Mohamed Salah Trabelsi vs. Muammer Can Eker
* Bryan Ermel vs. Bayram Eren Celep

The organization is continuing preparations for two additional matchups, with the event planned to feature six fights in total.

Among the confirmed names is Melis Nazlıcan Talun, a young athlete who is supported by İbrahim Murat Gündüz, who has provided significant support to Army of Fighters events. Talun is regarded by Gündüz as a young athlete close to him, almost like a daughter.

Her participation also marks a notable development for the organization, as women athletes are being included in Army of Fighters events for the first time.

HEAVYWEIGHT MATCHUPS ALSO EXPECTED

Two additional fights are yet to be announced. According to the current event plans, these matchups are expected to take place in the heavyweight division, with discussions continuing with potential fighters.

The final heavyweight pairings and complete six-fight card will be announced once the ongoing discussions are concluded.

CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR YOUNG TALENT

Supporting young athletes remains one of the areas emphasized by Army of Fighters. The organization aims to give emerging fighters the opportunity to experience professional competition, reach wider audiences and take important steps in their careers.

This approach will continue at AOF 6, alongside the participation of experienced and international fighters.
