Sunshine Coast Thai Boxing Centre

In loving memory of Tassanee “Tuk” McNaught. Today, the Muaythai world mourns the loss of one of its true pillars — a sister, mentor, and friend who dedicated over two decades to IFMA and the athletes she loved so dearly. Tuk’s strength, compassion, and tireless work touched lives across every continent. Her legacy will live on in every championship, every athlete’s dream fulfilled, and every corner of the IFMA family. Tuk will forever remain in our hearts. Tuk leaves behind her husband Nugget, her daughter Gavlyn, her beloved mother, and a wide circle of family and friends. To them, we extend our deepest condolences and unwavering support. On behalf of the entire IFMA and WMC family, we thank Tuk for everything she gave to our sport, our movement, and our community. A special memorial ceremony will be held to honour her extraordinary life and immeasurable contribution. Though her voice is silent, her spirit will continue to guide us. Though she is no longer by our side, she will forever remain in our hearts. Tuk’s spirit will forever remain part of the IFMA family. She will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace.

🥊 MOUNT RUSHMORE OF THE 90s TRAINERS 🥊

We spend a lot of time talking about the champions of the 1990s. The world title winners. The knockout artists. The hall of famers.

But what about the people behind them?

The men who opened the gym doors before sunrise. The coaches who wrapped hands, held pads, worked corners, drove fighters to shows, and dedicated their lives to building champions.

Without them, there are no legends.

As Fight Rewind continues to preserve the golden era of Australian kickboxing and Muay Thai, we're asking a question that might be impossible to answer...

👊 WHO IS ON YOUR MOUNT RUSHMORE OF 90s TRAINERS? 👊

Do names like:

🔥 Dave Hedgecock
🔥 John Scida
🔥 Dana Goodson
🔥 Jamal Hasan
🔥 Joe Hilton

deserve a place?

Or would you replace them with pioneers such as:

🥊 Paul Fyfield
🥊 Phon Martdee
🥊 Bob Jones
🥊 Malcolm Anderson
🥊 Alan Wong
🥊 Stephan Fox
🥊 Bryce Birtwistle
🥊Nick Stone
🥊Nugget McNaught

Maybe we've missed someone entirely.

From Melbourne to Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, New Zealand and Thailand, these coaches helped shape a generation of fighters and built the foundations of the sport we love today.

So let's hear from the fighters, trainers, officials, promoters and fans who were there.

👇 Who shaped the Australian fight scene in the 1990s?

👇 Who produced the most champions?

👇 Who built the strongest gyms?

👇 Who changed the sport forever?

👇 Who doesn't get the credit they deserve?

Everyone believes their trainer was the best.
That's part of the game.

But today we're not talking about favourites...

We're talking about the pioneers who helped shape Australian kickboxing and Muay Thai into what it is today.

Who makes your Mount Rushmore?

Who are your Top 5?

And who are we forgetting?

💬 Let the debate begin.
We want to hear from the people who lived it.

Tag your trainer, your gym, your teammates and the fighters who were there during the golden era of the 90s.
🥊🏆🔥

🥊🔥👊
