Rafael Kveldstad is one of the hottest amateurs in Europe right now. In 2023 he won the Cage Warriors Academy amateur middleweight title and a silver medal at the IMMAF World Cup in February.

Recently talking to Frontkick, the prospect opened up on his goal for the tournament.

“This is the year I have developed the most so far, this has been my year. From now on it’s just up. Now we go for the IMMAF gold to crown the year. Then I will go pro in 2024,” Kveldstad says.
