Steve Vick was one of the true pioneers of Australian kickboxing. He is best remembered for a fight that took place on the undercard of the infamous Dennis Alexio / Stan ‘The Man’ Longinidis undercard at the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Center in 1992. Vick fought Hector Pena for a world title over twelve rounds. Many believe it to have been the best kickboxing fight this country has ever seen.

Being cut from the K1 roster would be a difficult thing for anyone to accept, but a fighter’s job is all about challenges. John Wayne Parr is committed; consistently rising to them is what fans know and love him ‘J Dubya’ for. In the last 12 busy months he has only suffered two losses, one to rising star Yodsanklai Fairtex in the final of The Contender Asia reality series. Fellow K1 Max star who recently found himself without a job in Japan, ‘Iron’ Mike Zambidis, was Parr’s most recent opponent on May 8. Many felt that Zambidis would repeat the outcome of their previous contest in the final of the K1 Max Oceania in 2002. That night Parr had been great with kicks and in close, tried to beat Zambo to the punch with his knees. It was a high-octane affair with both fighters scrambling to the finish and Zambidis just got over the line.
