The Greek Michalis "Iron Mike" Zambidis lost in his second fight in the tournament meeting Groenhart.

Mike Zambidis put the Champion olive branch wreath on Groenhart's head. In a short announcement to the Greek people afterwards he said sorry for not winning...! Zambidis has won so many fights and titles, so he really doesn't need to win anything more... The Greek people are very proud of him already!
