Interview from Fight Magazine Network.
Fightmag.net: Please name your titles and achievements.
Pavel Zhuravlev: I became World champion 2003 and 2005, winner of King’s Cup in Thailand 2004, World Champion in kickboxing (WBKF) PRO 2008, 2009, World Champion (W5) PRO.
Fightmag.net: You fight in all styles, boxing, kickboxing and muay thai, can you please comment this ?
Pavel Zhuravlev: I box in all styles because I have experience in different types of martial arts and it’s interesting for me. I come out to fight no matter what the rules are, although I feel more comfortable to fight under K-1 rules.
Fightmag.net: What was the most memorized bout in your fight career ?
Pavel Zhuravlev: I don’t want to point out any fight, all of them are different. The most memorable fights were at the beginning of the career. They were full of emotional experiences. Nowadays I have fights that are more important and intense, but my attitude is more professional now, I’m calm. It’s just work.
Fightmag.net: Anyone in particular you would like to fight in future ?
Pavel Zhuravlev: I have a great interest in a fight with Badr Hari. In general, I want to compete with fighters of the highest level for the World titles. Such as the title of world champion WKN is a dream for me as it is the most prestigious. And of course I would like to box in the final of K-1.
Fightmag.net : What can you say about your opponent Nathan Corbett and up-coming heavy weight World championship in September in Perth ?
Pavel Zhuravlev: I have never met my opponent, but I have known his name for a long time and regard him as a good uncompromising fighter. I know that the rules in our fight are going to be more comfortable for him, than for me… he is famous for his elbow punches. This fact makes the fight even more interesting for me. I think we both will be well prepared for the fight.

One of Australia’s greatest fighters, Nathan “Carnage” Corbett, is coming to Perth to fight for the WKN world title on Domination 5 in September.
One of the biggest fights in Corbett’s career was facing the king of the ring, Tyrone Spong, from the Netherlands. The fight ended in a controversial decision, with Corbett knocking Spong out with punches but resumed fighting after the referee had stopped the fight. The fight was declared a no contest, and many people thought that Corbett was robbed of a win. The decision was seen to be unfair as the referee didn’t stop the fight in the correct manner, making it unclear to Nathan Corbett what was happening.
An opponent for Carnage’s world title fight will be announced soon.
Great news for Perth’s muay thai fans – Loris Audoui from the Caribbean Islands, is coming to Australia.
WKN World Office and Darren Curovic confirmed the match of World kickboxing champion Loris Audoui vs Australia’s Mitchell Seth in a muay thai rules international bout .
DOMINATION 5 is scheduled for Friday, 17th September, Herb Graham Recreation Centre, Mirrabooka, Western Australia.
Domination Development Day photos coming soon…
