This was the first fight I have had at super middle, everyone keep coming up saying “you must be so happy you have to put weight on for this one”, if only they knew I only had to lose 10kg instead of 14kg. Making weight still hurt and still hated it but least I didn’t [...]
Just got back from Perth where I spent yesterday promoting my fight over there on the 13th, I was lucky enough to be hanging out with not only the promoters but Tino Ceberano who is also promoting the show and promoting awareness of street violence. We got to do a radio interview for Nova with [...]
Its so funny looking back now, today we have mobile phones and the internet, when I was away it was very expensive to ring home. To keep in touch I would have to write a letter to my parents, I would wait two weeks and a letter would come back. I used to get so [...]
When I was younger I fell in love with a man, not in a gay way but as a hero. His name was Van Damme and the movie Kickboxer just came out, this was one of the greatest movies ever produced in the eyes of a 13yo. I was already into martial arts training taekwondo [...]

I’ve been doing the fighter of the month feature for a few months now and I’ve featured Up and coming fighters and even featured trainers. Since we’re at the close of 2004, in review of what was in my opinion, a late starter in terms of great fighting, I would like to give this fighter [...]
John Wayne Parr has five world kickboxing titles, 225 stitches and one hot wife. WERE your oldies fans of western flicks? No, this name was given to me when I went to live and fight in Thailand. My real name, Wayne, means “bastard” to them so I had to come up with something new. “John [...]

Angie’s fight was crazy we won the 1st, lost the 2nd, won the 3rd, lost the 4th, its now or never Angie, need this last round to win, 3 minutes.
I lost last night. It was like a race and I lost the sprint. She is a much better boxer and knows how to throw a lot of punches and moves well.
What a fight, that was one of the hardest fights I have had in years. Dimitr bought the craziest style with spinning kicks and elbows and they would come out of no where.
Bloody amazing effort. Thor stuck and moved and didn’t let Paul tee off on him. Thor cut Paul in the 3rd but kept calm not doing anything to get him in any danger.
What a great fight by both girls. Was so worthy at a world title and just a shame it wasn’t on one of the bigger shows so it could have got the foxsport exposer, had more action then most of my fights.
