Tok made a significant impact on the history of the Moldovan promotion FEA Championship, where he showcased his tough, aggressive style and unyielding character.

Key achievements in FEA:

Grand Prix Champion (December 2014, Chisinau): Tok won the heavyweight title in a single night, earning two victories. In the semifinals, he defeated Fabian Gondorf (Netherlands). In the final, he knocked out Moldovan fighter Stefan Kyrlig.

Title defenses: In March 2015, he successfully defended his title against Colin George (Netherlands) by unanimous decision.

Tok fought some of Europe’s best heavyweights, including notable names like Michal Turinski and Maxim Bolotov. His last fight in FEA took place in 2021.

Known for his powerful punches, Tok’s death is particularly tragic as, in recent months, he had openly hoped to return to the ring. Before his passing, he even shifted focus to boxing and had a bout against Benjamin Adegbuyi.

The combat sports community is deeply shaken by the loss of a “fighter with a heart” who, despite all challenges, displayed determination, strength of spirit, and unwavering character.
