Eduard Gafencu (born February 9, 1993) is a Romanian professional kickboxer and boxer. He currently competes in the Colosseum Tournament, in which he is the reigning champion of the welterweight and super welterweight divisions.
Gafencu played soccer from 7 to 14 years old, but quit after an injury. He also practiced swimming. Gafencu then started boxing at the age of 15, but after a short while he switched to kickboxing. At the age of 16 and a half, he had his first fight and practiced kickboxing until the age of 21, culminating in a three-year hiatus.
Gafencu competed for various regional Romanian promotions, in the process amassing a record of 6–0.
In 2018, Gafencu had signed a contract with the Colosseum Tournament. He took part in a four-man super welterweight tournament to determine the Colosseum Tournament’s first Colosseum Tournament World Super Welterweight Champion.
Gafencu faced Adrian Cibu on September 17, 2018, in the semi-final of the Super Welterweight Tournament. He won the fight in emphatic fashion via knockout in round one to progress to the final round of the tournament. Gafencu faced Leonard Dorin’s student Adelin Mihăilă at Colosseum Tournament 8 in the finals. Gafencu won the match via knockout in the third round. The triumph also earned Gafencu his first Performance of the Night award.
Gafencu faced Flavius Boiciuc on December 14, 2018 at Colosseum Tournament 10. He won the fight via unanimous decision.
Gafencu faced the Fight Institute by Peter Aerts’s Thomas Doeve on March 29, 2019 at Colosseum Tournament 11. He won the fight via knockout in round one. This win earned him his second Performance of the Night award and it was named the 2019 Knockout of the Year by Russia Today. The tornado kick knockout has been also acknowledged by sites like Sherdog, MMA Fighting, MMAjunkie.com and others as the potential Knockout of the Year for 2019.
Gafencu moved down to the welterweight division. He faced the Bonjasky Academy’s Ekrem Doruk for the inaugural Colosseum Tournament World Welterweight Championship on May 9, 2019, in the main event of Colosseum Tournament 12. He won the fight via knockout in the second round, becoming the first Colosseum Tournament fighter to win titles in two weight classes.
