I was just thinking what a great idea it would be to set up a Kickboxing Hall of Fame, I know Blitz have one but Kickboxing should have its own, similar to the Boxing HOF which was established last year.
Heres the first five inductees I'd put in and it would be a good idea for other posters to name there top five in no particular order.
Bob Jones - Promoted the first ever Kickboxing show here.
Tarik Solak - World Class Promoter who took the sport to a new level here locally introducing Oz to K1.
Stan Longinidis - All round Champion and most well known Kickboxer this Country has ever produced.
Dana Goodson - One of the all time great trainers, RIP Dana.
Dave Hedgecock - Just about done it all in the fight game.
Apologies to Greco, Parr, Schiavello, Fyfield, Hunt, Jacobs, Ozkan etc who would also be worth nominations.
Paul Briggs -> Number One!
