## Professional career

**Debut and first title.** Tsolakidou turned professional on 12 April 2024, beating the Dutch fighter Melony Geudjes, a former Krush women's flyweight champion, by decision over three rounds at KOK Fight Night: Spartans Night V in Athens.<sup>[1](https://www.k-1.co.jp/krush/fighter/1657)</sup> Two professional fights into her career, she held a regional professional belt at 18 years old (19 at the time of the bout), which drew attention in Greece as a rising women's fighter.<sup>[1](https://www.k-1.co.jp/krush/fighter/1657)</sup>

**Krush champion.** On 23 August 2025 at Krush.179 in Tokyo, she challenged Noriko Ikeuchi for the Krush women's flyweight (−52 kg) title. After the bout went to an extension round, Tsolakidou won a unanimous decision and became the 7th Krush women's flyweight champion.<sup>[1](https://www.k-1.co.jp/krush/fighter/1657)</sup>

**K-1 title challenge.** On 8 February 2026, at K-1 WORLD GP 2026 at Yoyogi Second Gymnasium in Tokyo, Tsolakidou challenged the reigning K-1 Women's Flyweight champion SAHO in a title match; the fight was decided in an extension round.<sup>[1](https://www.k-1.co.jp/krush/fighter/1657)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgRYgv9sZQ0)</sup> K-1's official record for her after this period stands at 5 fights with 3 wins and 2 losses.<sup>[1](https://www.k-1.co.jp/krush/fighter/1657)</sup>

## Fighting style and recognition

K-1's official profile lists her style as orthodox and describes her as a young, aggressive European prospect; the promotion's build-up to the SAHO fight billed the match as a high-level contest between the Krush champion and the K-1 champion.<sup>[1](https://www.k-1.co.jp/krush/fighter/1657)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgRYgv9sZQ0)</sup> Her amateur pedigree across K-1 and low-kick rules, together with professional titles in two weight classes before her 20th birthday, marks her as one of the notable young women fighters on the Japanese kickboxing circuit.<sup>[1](https://www.k-1.co.jp/krush/fighter/1657)</sup>
