NEW WORLD WKN MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMP IS...

John Wayne Parr has taken the win over Dimitry Valent from Belarus!
With points of 50-45, 49-47 and 48-47 JWP was declared winner by unanimous points decision.

JWP TAKES ON 7 TIME WORLD CHAMP

Australia's favourite Muay Thai fighter John Wayne Parr is gearing up to take on Dimitry Valent of Belarus on the Domination 4 promotion held in Western Australia this saturday.

No one would hold it against you for initially thinking this guy from Belarus has nothing to show, but seriously - this guy is 7 times World champion! 21 year old Dimitry Valent holds titles under various banners including WMC I-1 Grand Slam World champ 2008 & 2009. Don't let his age fool you either, he's had 83 fights, 78 wins and 34 KO's!

HARD LUCK TO THOR

Congratulations to Ben 'Guvner' Edwards who took home the win last night on Capital Punishment in Canberra.

Hard luck to Thor Hoopman though. Thor has taken some pretty big scalps lately, and you've gotta give him credit for giving away over 18kg and no elbows to fight Edwards. He came out strong but was no match for Edward's right hand when he got caught in the first round.

Won't be long before we see Thor in action again though, he's fighting Steve McKinnon on Immortality, 20th March. See poster below for more detail.

BOONCHU LADIES ARE ON FIRE!

The Boonchu ladies are on fire at the moment!
