RSL attacks plans for kick-boxing tournament at Gallipoli

Tarik SolakMelbourne promoter Tarik Solak wants to pit Australian, New Zealand and Turkish fighters against a "rest of the world" line-up on April 24.

Mr Solak, who is an Australian and Turkish dual citizen, said he believed he could attract up to 20,000 fans to watch the card.

He said the event should not be seen as disrespectful to those who fought at Gallipoli.

Mr Solak did not care what anyone thought of the proposal because controversy gave him the chance to explain what he wanted to do. "I can't get bad advertising."
