It is with deep sadness and sorrow that we announce the unexpected loss of one of our World Vice Presidents of the WKF.
Our friend, Rodrigo, has passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.
This sudden and great loss of my personal friend, president of WKF CHILE, continental director of the WKF Latin America and the Caribbean and thus one of 6 world federation vice presidents, is almost impossible to describe in words.
I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Rodrigo several times around the world. He always had a kind word and was always top-notch as an official in the ring and as a supervisor.
As LAC Continental Director, he was also heavily involved in organizing the upcoming World Championship in Colombia in October 2026.
We at the WKF – World Kickboxing Federation – are deeply saddened. Our thoughts are with his family, all his friends in Chile, and everyone who knew Rodrigo.
Dear Rodrigo, just two days before Christmas, your laughter, your kindness, and your professionalism have been silenced forever.
We will miss you, my old friend.
