"Everyone who is a combat sport fan in New Zealand is watching.  King in the Ring is the peak of kickboxing success. It's the first step - and certainly the pinnacle of getting nationally recognised. You solidify yourself as one of the guys in NZ to be pushed on the international stage."

A fantastic, action packed show. For me, it was stepping stone, a platform that launched me into the mainstream in NZ. People love watching stand and bang, and if that's what you wanna see, that's what you're gonna get. it's a show that delivers all the time.

"King in the Ring is definitely a good night out. It is well organised and always has a great lineup of top level fighters. I've attended in person and watched it live on TV, and am always impressed by the calibre of fighters and the way the night flows. "
