History
Fightmag was founded in August 2005 by the President of the World Kickboxing Network Stephane Cabrera. It was originally based in France, being oriented for Francophonie. In a year time it evolved internationally and the publishing started in two languages, English and French.[2]
Since 2009 Fightmag is operated out of Australia and published in English. In 2015 Fightmag marked the date of its tenth anniversary.[3] In October 2016 Fightmag has been cited in the FightBox HD in which it was called "a leading online fight magazine out of Australia".[4]
The team of authors led by Belarusian-Australian kickboxer Parviz Iskenderov [5], comprises predominantly athletes, including several World Champions in kickboxing and boxing, such as Nathan Corbett and Daniel Dawson, among others.
