The bout was contested under the pretence of Modified Muay Thai rules (no kicking) to avoid Boxing Authority of New South Wales involvement as required by Australian Capital Territory's legislation - Promoter's cost cutting measure. Given the fact no kicking was allowed, it could not be classed anything but a boxing bout.
