Leading Indonesian combat sports platform, BYON, continues to expand its regional footprint by bringing its flagship event, the COMBAT SHOWBIZ 7, to Malaysia for the first time through a strategic partnership with Kharisma Music International.
The event is scheduled for 25 April 2026 at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, targeting an audience of over 3,000 spectators. This marks BYON’s international debut following its phenomenal success in Indonesia, while further strengthening Vidio’s position as the go-to streaming
platform for combat sports in the region.
As a 360-degree combat sports platform, BYON is committed to empowering young talent and developing the regional combat sports ecosystem. The BYON COMBAT SHOWBIZ series is the brand’s flagship event, combining world-class matches across disciplines such as boxing and kickstriking with large-scale entertainment productions.

The seventh edition will feature elite fighters from Malaysia and Indonesia, including several high-intensity matches and contests for prestigious titles such as the ICB International Belt and the Byon Kickstriking Asia Title.
Other key matchups include:
* Fahri Alamsyah vs Kabilan Jelevan – This high-profile rematch comes amid an intensifying rivalry. Fahri previously defeated Kabilan, but Kabilan bounced back with a dominant victory in his next match and is now challenging Fahri again. The rematch is expected to be even more intense, with both fighters bringing their own momentum into the ring.
* Nidal Mahmoud vs Adam Maulana – This match will decide the ICB International Belt, with Nidal defending his title. Adam enters as a challenger on a personal mission to claim the belt, creating a showdown between the experience of a champion and the drive of a contender.
