Baris Nezif vs Evan Paskalidis | Victorian Kickboxing Title | Turkish Revenge 1994 A rare and important chapter in Australian kickboxing history. Before Baris Nezif became a world champion, he was tested in one of the toughest Victorian title fights of the 1990s. At Turkish Revenge 1994, promoted by Tarik Solak, Nezif challenged for the Victorian Kickboxing Title against the experienced and dangerous Evan Paskalidis. Baris Nezif entered the ring with GM Jamal Hassan in his corner, already showing the traits that would later make him a world title holder. Across from him stood Evan Paskalidis, guided by Dana Goodson, ready to defend his ground on one of Melbourne’s most competitive stages. Although Nezif would go on to claim a world championship early in his career, this night belonged to Evan Paskalidis, who handed the future world champion a crucial defeat in a high-level, hard-fought contest that shaped Nezif’s journey. This bout captures the raw reality of elite kickboxing in the 1990s — no hype, no shortcuts, just two hungry fighters, strong corners, and a title on the line.
