K1 is the fastest and most exiting style of fighting on the planet. It was developed to determine the most effective form of stand up fighting. Since 1993 K1 has developed a tournament style competition inviting the best fighters from all corners of the world to determine the worlds number one fighter.
It is with great honour to announce that Canberra, Australia is set to host the K1 Oceania 8 man tournament where the winner after being victorious in 3 fights in 1 night will be crowned the Oceania Champion and will get the opportunity to represent Oceania region in the world Final 16 in Seoul, Korea with the winner of that going through to the Final 8 in Japan later in the year.

Current NZ Champion Tafa Misapati has been moved to undercard for some unknown reason and his opponent is unknown..
