Tolga’s Memorial Night took place on Saturday in the Tivoli Sports Hall in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The event was organised by Duran Gym and sanctioned by IFMA and the WMC featuring junior fights under youth IFMA rules right the way up to elite-level fights under WMC rules.
The event was held in honour of Tolga Elbren with all proceeds going to Tolga’s Topsport Olympic Muay Thai Foundation. Tolga Ebren was a top sportsman with heart and soul and sadly passed away at the age of 19 due to a brain tumor. Unfortunately, Tolga has not been able to make all his dreams come true, he would therefore like nothing more than for other young people to be able to realize their dreams. That is why the initiators of the foundation came up with the idea of establishing a top sports foundation in Tolga’s honour.
