‘John’ Wayne Parr has once again proven that age is no barrier as he added another impressive victory to his stellar record this morning at Bellator Kickboxing 8 in Florence, Italy.
Parr’s walk-forward pressure and strong boxing skills were just too much for young Italian fighter Piergiulo Paolucci as the referee put a stop to the bout in the third round following a barrage of punches from Parr.

The win caps off what has been an impressive year for Parr who improves his record to 98-32. Parr is currently two fights into his three-fight deal with Bellator.
