The Golden Fighter Championship (GFC) is a Romanian kickboxing and Muay Thai promotion founded in 2015 and based in Timișoara, Romania, that is owned by Alin Fălcuşan.[1] It is the third largest kickboxing promotion in Romania, alongside fellow OSS Fighters.
It has featured fighters such as Bogdan Stoica, Andrei Stoica, Raul Cătinaș, Adrian Mitu, and Adrian Maxim, among others.
