I want to say very big THANK YOU to promoters Tony Caradonna and Glenn Wheatley, I was treated like a MILLION DOLLAR BABY during my month in Melbourne and states that the 2 gentlemen are a credit to Australian Boxing, they are very professional and a absolute pleasure to work with. I am grateful for the opportunity to compete in Melbourne and to raise the profile of Australia's boxing standards here in my own country.

I sincerely thank Dave Hedgecock for his guidance and training for the 3 weeks prior to my fight, I got to spend time with Sam Soliman while we were both preparing for our fights and was absolutely amazed at his fitness and style of training. I learnt a lot from Dave in relation to angle work and a new way training, and I appreciate the time we have spent together.

I would like to thank Stuart Duncan for his role as my fight manager and states that he is a man who does a lot behind the scenes for Australian fighters and is not mentioned anywhere near enough. I thank Bob Jones for his support and shared wisdom, Steve Irvine for being a part of my big night. My family have been great friends with Dave, Bob and Steve all of Melbourne for many many years.

My sponsors for this bout include CURRENCY ALTERNATIVE, ASHMORE FURNITURE, THE GRAND HOTEL and SUPERIOR MOBILE PHONES. I would like to express a very big Thank you for your support.

It is an amazing feeling to know you have the power to stop a fight early. I have been working on body shots and angles so much leading into this fight, to actually put it all together and end up with a TKO on my record is fantastic.

Finally I would like to say THANK YOU to my partner Stephen Boyce who I admire and respect, he is my best friend and completely dedicated to helping me achieve my goals and dreams. I love you Steve and Thank God every day that you are in my life xx

Stuart Duncan is currently negotiating my next fight on the David Tua undercard in New Zealand on March 31st. I will keep everybody out there posted on what's coming up and a special thank you to all of you out there that support me and give me drive to be the CHAMPION that I am today.

Wildthing xx
