World Championships 2007 in Coimbra was the fourth lightest of the male Semi-Contact tournaments being roughly comparable to the middleweight division in Full-Contact's weight classes.
There were eighteen fighters from three continents (Europe, North America and Oceania) taking part in the competition.
As there were not enough men for a tournament designed for thirty-two, fourteen of the contestants had a bye through to the second round.
By the end of the tournament, Ireland's Robbie McMenamy won the gold medal, defeating Nikos Memmos from Greece in the final via points decision.
The bronze medal positions were taken by Canada's Jason Brown and Great Britain's Jacey Cashman.
