Step back to 1990 on a classic Christofer Chronis show to witness one of Australia’s early golden-era kickboxing title fights David Cairns vs Nick “Bad to the Bone” Stone. A battle of experience, international pedigree and elite Australian coaching… with David Cairns claiming the Australian Title in a hard-fought, historic bout. David Cairns, trained by respected Australian coach Les Anyos, came in with crisp technique, smart structure and the trademark discipline Anyos was known for developing in his fighters. Across the ring stood Nick “Bad to the Bone” Stone, newly arrived from England and cornered by legendary Australian trainer Dave Hedgecock, bringing UK aggression and European/Thai-influenced kickboxing into the Australian ring. The result? A tough, clean, old-school striking war that defined 90s kickboxing. Cairns’ pressure, timing and conditioning ultimately secured him the Australian Championship. ⚡ Short Bio – Nick “Bad to the Bone” Stone Nick Stone was a tough British-born kickboxer who trained in London under Master Bunriaing and later at Paul Taylor’s Thai Boxing Club in Watford.
