On Saturday October 8 at the Civic Centre in Feilding, New Zealand, local pride and the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Oceania Cruiserweight title will be at stake when fellow Kiwis Lance Bryant and Tom Heads collide over ten rounds.

Busta” Bryant, bringing an 8-3 (2) record, must be considered a healthy favorite as he has defeated Heads twice previously. But Heads is known as a very tough costumer, despite his less than impressive but somewhat deceiving 2-5 (1) ledger, and expectations are high for an all-action shoot-out.

In his most recent outing, this past June, Lance Bryant won the New Zealand national championship as well as the IBO Asia Pacific title when he recorded a unanimous decision over rugged former national titlist James “Batman” Langton.

Nicknamed “The Bluff Brawler”, Heads has only lost to very capable opponents, and only Australian champion Kane Watts, 15-2 at the time, has managed to stop him inside the distance. At 31 years of age he is no spring chicken, but still four years younger than Bryant and full of ambition.

The Lance Bryant vs. Tom Heads World Boxing Federation (WBF) Oceania Cruiserweight title fight will headline a show billed as “Feilding Fight Fest”. The card will include undercard match-ups featuring local talent, and will be promoted by Michael Meehan.
