Heavyweight Prize fighter to take place in the UK with mix of international fighters,sholud we send our own australians to UK any names suggested Kali Meehan Alex Leapai Solomon Haumono Michael Kirby http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=27540&more=1
This sounds great, I think Alex and Kali would both be good, but meehan has been out of action for a while now.
So the field is: 1/ Kevin Johnson 2/ Martin Rogan 3/ Mike Perez, 4/ Konstantin Airich 5/ Richel Hersisia. with 3 more to fill out the final 8. ...and Holyfield, Rahman, Maddalone rumoured.
I actually think this format might be big in the future. It would be great to see an Australian Format with Australian fighters, adn then have the heavyweight winner of 7 other countries fight each other.
Jesus if Holyfield goes into the Prizefighter it will be sad as he is such a great who everyone loves. These prizefighter shows are just for jokes like Audley Harrison and nobodies like Martin Rogan to appear in.
I'd doubt it, he was refused a licence for a fight with Tyson Fury in the UK this year so I can't see why that would change. Plus Prizefighter's format would be tough on his stamina
There was nearly one of these heavyweight tournaments held in Australia a few years ago. A website was set-up for it, and fighters names were bandied about, including early rumors of Tyson being a part of it. The website soon disappeared. As did every other trace of the tournament.
