V. Karosas is scheduled to defend his UTMA muay thai champion title at an upcoming event in Kaunas' Žalgiris Arena on April 18. This event is part of a series of significant matches, including the main fight where Sergejus Maslobojevas will face Ignas Pauliukevičius in the under 95 kg category. This title fight follows Karosas' impressive track record, having won the inaugural champion title for UTMA in 2024, showcasing his prowess and dedication to the sport.

Karosas has distinguished himself in the UTMA league as one of the few fighters who have successfully defended their titles. His first defense occurred during the UTMA 11 event against Arnestas Naujokas, and this upcoming match will once again see him battling under muay thai rules but with smaller MMA gloves. This practice is increasingly rare among muay thai fighters, which underscores the significance of this title defense in the context of the sport's evolving landscape, where few are willing to take on such challenges.

As Karosas prepares for his title defense, he emphasizes the honor and glory associated with competing at this level. He pointed out that it is standard to defend one's title annually, indicating a structured approach to title matches that maintains the competitive integrity of the league. The event promises to be a thrilling showcase of skill and determination as muay thai continues to gain traction in Lithuania, with expectations high for the fighters involved and the audience alike.
