Mick Payne vs Ben Holly – Asian Combat Challenge 1994 | Brisbane Festival Hall

Mick Payne vs Ben Holly – Asian Combat Challenge 1994 | Brisbane Festival Hall Step back to 1994 at Festival Hall Brisbane, where the Asian Combat Challenge brought together some of Australia’s toughest kickboxers for one unforgettable night of action. This featured bout between Mick Payne and Ben Holly captured the raw, hard-hitting spirit of 90’s Australian kickboxing — a time when fighters were hungry, crowds were loud, and the sport was exploding across the country. The Asian Combat Challenge promotion was one of Queensland’s most talked-about shows of the mid-90s, showcasing elite strikers from across Australia and Asia. Events like this helped shape the golden era of Australian Muay Thai and kickboxing, setting the stage for the gyms and champions that followed through the late 90s and early 2000s. While little is known today about the fighters’ full careers, this matchup stands as a rare time capsule from the golden age of Festival Hall fight nights — where local heroes traded blows in front of passionate Brisbane fight fans.
