K-1 Grand Prix '97 Final

K-1 Grand Prix '97 Final was a kickboxing event promoted by the K-1 organization.

The eight finalists had all qualified via elimination fights at the K-1 Grand Prix '97 1st round.

Also on the card was a four-man tournament for featherweight kickboxers (57 kg/126 lbs) based in Japan and a local 'Super Fight', with all bouts fought under K-1 Rules.

The tournament winner was Ernesto Hoost who won his first K-1 Grand Prix final by defeating reigning champion Andy Hug by third round majority decision.

The event was also notable for two of the fights in the quarter-finals - with both Francisco Filho and Andy Hug defeating their opponents by knockout at 15 seconds of the first record.
