Thian de Vries makes gage available for free livestream Enfusion fight
Goes, 28 March 2026 – Top kickboxer Thian de Vries has decided to use his entire gage to make his upcoming Enfusion fight available to the public for free. With this, De Vries wants to send a signal towards the sport and meet the growing dissatisfaction among fans about the high cost of pay-per-view broadcasts.
The fight against Joilton Lutterbach is scheduled for 28 March in Goes. De Vries wants to use his fee to buy out the broadcasting rights to the match so that it can be made available to all viewers via a free livestream.
“Kickboxing belongs to everyone,” says De Vries. “I notice that more and more fans are dropping out because it is simply becoming too expensive to follow the sport. That affects me, and I want to do something about that.”

Enfusion has confirmed it is seriously investigating the initiative. CEO Edwin van Os stressed the importance of the action:
“Public support is under pressure. What Thian is doing is daring and shows how important the bond between fighters and fans is. We are currently looking at how we can realise this practically.”
According to those involved, De Vries not only wants this action to make his own fight accessible, but also to contribute to a wider discussion on affordability and commitment within kickboxing.
This gives the match against the experienced Brazilian Lutterbach an extra dimension: besides the sporting challenge, it is also a clear statement towards the future of the sport.
