Although there are a number of great heavyweights actively competing in NZ, no one has stepped up and assumed the level of dominance that the 'Psycho' Suttie once had over the weight class. With no clear successor emerging to take his place it begged the question - 'who reigns when the King is gone?' It's something that intrigued Jason as much as anyone - so much so that he decided find the answer himself by staging the King of the Ring event. 28th May saw 8 of NZ's top heavyweights face off in an explosive tournament that crowned the new heavyweight King of the Ring. With an exciting mix of established fighters and rising stars of the future in the electric atmosphere of a K-1 style 8 man tournament it was the highlight of the fight sport year. The tournament format required the winner to defeat 3 opponents in a single night and provides the ultimate test of both skill and endurance. 8 MAN TOURNAMENT: Antz 'Notorious' Nansen [ETK, Auckland] - WINNER Nato Laauli [Alpha Thai Boxing, Wellington] Josh 'Jaguar' Heta [Sa Ming Jai, Northland] Tafa 'Thumper' Misipati [ETK, Auckland] Junior Ioane [Highlanders, Napier] Henry Taani [South Auckland Lee Gar, Auckland] Papa Gabriel [Auckland] Alexander Kuntz [City Lee Gar, Auckland]
