During the last decade Oceania has been a host of a number of WKN world title bouts, with the shows held across Australia. “John” Wayne Parr, Toby “The Weapon” Smith, Nathan “Carnage” Corbett (among others) contested for the prestigious belts.
The upcoming event in New Zealand follows a historic MMA and kickboxing world cup produced in Auckland last November.
