It's fast and explosive and it's back. International boxing makes a welcome return to the Western Bay of Plenty in round two of the Clash of the Corporates.

Following on from last October's success, the next big fight night is set down for April 18.

Headlining a dozen corporate fights, is an International Professional Light Welterweight bout between Western Bay's Anthony TNT Taylor and an extremely experienced Thai opponent.

The international contest, will be the main attraction fought over eight two-minute rounds in what should be an explosive contest at the QE2 Youth Centre's Memorial Hall.

Taylor who fashioned an impressive nine win, one draw and one loss in the pay to punch ranks, has raw power in both fists, which should keep the expected sell-out crowd on its feet.

At the last Clash of the Corporates, Taylor was in dynamic form stopping Taranaki's Daniel Maxwell in the sixth round of their New Zealand Welterweight title fight.

The New Zealand professional title follows a decorated Amateur career, where the Tauranga puncher won two Boxing New Zealand Light Welterweight crowns.

The highlight of Taylor's time in the amateur ranks, was to earn selection for the New Zealand Commonwealth Games team that took part in the 2010 Commonwealth event in India.

However, the Western Bay pugilist won't be taking the challenge in the ring from Kru Chain lightly come April 18.

The Thai pro boxer is a Muay Thai kickboxing veteran, who has had a multitude of visits to the kick boxing ring in recent years and has a reputation as a genuine hard nut in Thai kick boxing.

While patrons at the event will get to watch plenty of action in the lead-up corporate fights – Anthony TNT Taylor won't want to leave the decision in the hands of the judges against Kru Chain and is likely to chase victory by the short route.
