ROUNDHOUSE, YOU WERE SOMETHING ELSE 🔥

A record crowd. Breakout performances. Upsets. Pocket rockets. And to cap it all off, a pair of super heavyweights who threw everything, and the kitchen sink at each other.

Sydney Contender 27 had it all 🥊

A huge thank you to everyone who stepped into the ring, packed out the Roundhouse, supported from the sidelines, or helped make our biggest Sydney Contender yet such an unforgettable night. The energy was electric from the first bell to the last.

As always, we were proud to share the night with and raise funds to support the incredible work they do for kids facing cancer and their families. Thank you to everyone who got behind the cause and helped us make an impact beyond the ropes 💛

We’re back at the Roundhouse on November 13 and we can’t wait to do it all again 🔥

For Chad Thomas, this was unfinished business.

After injury forced him to withdraw from Contender last year, he returned this season determined to finish what he started. Balancing night shifts, family life and training was no easy task, but he showed incredible discipline throughout camp. With his wife Kelly and two daughters training alongside him at Shadow Fitness Club, Chad’s journey became about much more than boxing.

For Anthony, the journey looked a little different.
He started camp a little apprehensively and, at the sparring day, fitness levels looked… questionable. Especially for a man who quickly built a reputation for checking the clock and being first to ask for the fans to be turned on.

But week by week, under Nathan Mazoudier and Ayo Odeyale at North Shore Boxing Club, Anthony grew in confidence, fitness and belief. He embraced the grind, became a valued part of the gym culture, and by fight night looked like a completely different athlete.

Incredibly, both men had dropped 10kg by fight night.

And when the bell rang, they delivered.

This became a brilliant clash of styles. Chad using his range and movement, Anthony applying relentless pressure and looking to land the cleaner, heavier shots.
Anthony wouldn’t give Chad an inch all fight, but Chad kept firing back the whole way.

Both men showed serious heart and grit across three hard rounds.

Anthony got the win on the scorecards, with his cleaner punches tipping things in his favour.

Two very different journeys. Two incredible transformations. One absolute war.

A brilliant display of heart from both men ❤️🥊

🥊 We will return to the Roundhouse on November 13th. Are you our next Contendee?

When we first met Mia Georghiou at the sparring days, it was immediately obvious that Camp Quality wasn’t just another charity her. This one meant something.

Like many fighters, Mia’s road to fight night wasn’t smooth. Life threw plenty at her throughout camp and there were moments where it would have been easier to take a step back than keep moving forward.

Instead, she kept showing up.

She trusted her coaches, stuck to the plan and found a way through every obstacle placed in front of her. Every training session, every difficult conversation and every setback simply became another test of how badly she wanted it.

By fight night, Mia had earned her place in the ring.

Facing a tough opponent who came out firing, Mia responded the only way she knows how….by marching forward. For three rounds she applied relentless pressure, refusing to give her opponent a moment’s peace. Every exchange was fought on her terms, driven by grit and determination.

The result was a hard-fought victory and a performance that perfectly embodied what Sydney Contender is all about.

Not perfection.

Persistence.

Congratulations to our Sydney Contender 27 Fighter of the Night, Mia Georghiou.
