Besim Kabashi (born February 27, 1976 in Istok , Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ; † December 4, 2011 in Munich ) was a German- Kosovar kickboxing world champion.
Life
Besim started kickboxing at the Sportclub Klein in Augsburg at the age of 17 . He financed the monthly contributions with his apprentice salary . Here he only trained semicontact . However, due to his hard blows, he came to the realization that this was not the right thing for him, as he was repeatedly disqualified. In 1996 he moved to the martial arts studio in Augsburg, where he also switched to full contact kickboxing. With this he was able to achieve his first successes. From 2002 two more martial arts schools followed, with which he could not celebrate the great successes he wanted. So he initially took a five-year break.
In 2006, Kabashi made a fresh start at the Steko martial arts school in Munich. The brothers Pavlica and Mladen Steko trained him there . After a year of training he was able to show four wins and one European title after four fights . His athletic achievements were the four gained WKA - World Championships between 2008 and 2011..
Shortly before a planned defense of his title at Circus Krone , Kabashi was found motionless in his Munich apartment on the night of December 3rd to 4th, 2011 after a suicide attempt and died a little later in a hospital. At the time of his death, a case of dangerous bodily harm to an Oktoberfest waiter was pending against Kabashi .
The WKA World Championship ( Steko's Fight Night ) on December 16, 2011 in the Krone Circus in Munich was dedicated to Besim Kabashi. Christine Theiss (WKA world champion), Florian Pavic (WKA world champion) and all the other fighters dedicated their victories to him.
