Scheduled for Melbourne on Aril 3rd is a one night, knock out tournament featuring 8 heavyweights to meet in cut-throat eliminators each over 3 rounds duration.

The field of 8 will come from the following 9 fighters >

1. Nathan Briggs - 21 wins (16 by KO) and 6 losses.
2. Brett Smith - 13 wins (7 by KO) and 8 losses.
3. Bowie Tupou - 23 wins (16 by KO) and 3 losses.
4. Andre Meunier - 6 wins (2 by KO) and 1 loss.
5. Hunter Sam - 9 wins (4 by KO) and 2 losses.
6. Nathan MacKay - 2 wins (1 by KO) and 1 loss.
7. Royce Sio - 1 win (by KO) and 2 losses.
8. David Levi - 3 wins (all by KO) and 4 losses.
9. Michael Kirby - 10 wins (5 by KO) and 2 losses.

Interesting concept and bound to provide it's share of big punching and KO finishes. The best placed fighter going into the final will likely be the one who can KO his earlier opponents quickest and conserve his energy for the final.

This tournament is the undercard to the Lucas Browne Commonwealth Title fight.

It is believed this tournament will still go ahead. However, the Lucas Browne Commonwealth Title fight has been removed from the card.

Sweet, love the Fri nights when there's footy and boxing on. Don't watch as much Aussie boxing as I used to, was great back in the day when Mick Katsidis, Vic Darchinyan etc were all coming up, used to love Nathan Sting and Jason De Lisle too, MMA has pretty much taken over for me.

MMA has taken a large slice of the action that is for sure.

Remember it's on tonight on FOX. NOT friday night :thumbsu:

This tournament may have paved the way for more of the same here in Australia. There's also one coming up in NZ soon.

If anyone missed the result Mick Kirby won the final and took home about 20 grand for his efforts.
