Kirill Kornilov Player Overview
The 34-year-old Kornilov (19-3-1) stands out as one of the most dangerous strikers in the heavyweight division, boasting 11 knockout victories. His Grand Prix journey was halted only at the semifinal stage, and last November, he narrowly lost to champion Alikhan Vakhaev in a hard-fought contest.
