We know there will be 14 contestants.

From arcticles I've read and from what Anton said it seems the following fighters will be included:

Nader Hamdan
Les Piper
Victor Oganov
Luke Moloney
Shannan Taylor
Junior Talipeau
Sonni Michael Angelo
Pradeep Singh
Ben McCulloch

It also seems that Jamie Pittman and Porky Lovett will NOT be part of the show...

Considering the above, if it is in fact correct, who else would do we think will be in the show and who would we like to see in the show?

I'm guessing it will be contested at super middleweight.

As far as fighters that should be in the show, what about Zac Awad?

Zac's better off to stay at light heavy, albeit only 175cm tall

Later this year is the word on the street. I'm guessing it won't be channel nine

I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE
Kerry foley & ZAC AWAD IN CONTENDER!!!!!

this is going to be a circus, should of included the whole pacific area not australia, your already missing the 2 best Super middleweights in Australia.

And Sonni Michael Angelo, are they for real????

Will the Australian network have the episodes on their website like VS did for season 4?

I'm quite certain it will not be on tv here in America but I would like to watch it.

I'm sure there would be a link somewhere, Ryan put the link up to contender 4 on Aus forum last time, which i thank him for, because here in Australia we not even up to the semi finals yet from that series.

I wartched the semis last night! Bring on the final!!! Ross v Hino!!!

i better not spoil it for you then lol

this is meant to all kick off on the 1st of August.

from some inside sources i heard that the marketing and the spending of advertisment on this show is 4x more then a normal commercial australian television show

What network will it be on?
I went to Foxtel and it says their video library can only be viewed from Australia.

I would imagine it will be Fox 8 as they have shown the previous contenders...

fox 8 got the rights to a aussie contender,some years ago so its been the works for a bit.would think they still have it.

HMM......... interesting

Is Sam Soliman eligible?

From the paper today:

CAN'T wait for the fireworks in the upcoming Aussie version of The Contender. Two of the housemates are being kept apart as they can't be trusted to be in the same room together. And all because one of them stole the other's girl. If all goes to plan, though, they will have to face each other at some stage of the series.

Any idea who this involves?

I effed it up, supposed to be a quote... fixed now.

After stepping into the breach for 2008’s live grand final of Australia’s Next Top Model, Charlotte Dawson is rewarded with another hosting gig, this time the upcoming reality boxing battle, The Contender Australia.

She is one of two hosts for the FOX8 series.

Produced by Granada Productions, the Australian version will feature 14 professional super middle weight boxers who compete over a six week period for the inaugural title. It will be the first time the Mark Burnett series will be hosted by a woman.

Charlotte Dawson said: “I am going from fashion to fisticuffs! In some ways it’s spookily similar to Top Model, except the fights on this series will be in a ring.

Why!?!

She looks about 800 years old... and she's a Kiwi!?!
