“He is ‘Hot and Spicy’, but I also like the new proposed name ‘Gloves on Fire’. Michael is a great boxer and world class. I am going to help him to be one of the best in the world. Under Ringstar Promotion, he will become a world champion in 2018,” sambit ni Rignstar founder at CEO Scott Farrell.
Nagwagi rin si local star Muhamad “The Chosen Wan” Ridhwan kontra Namibian Nataniel Sebastian via decision. Nakuha ni Ridhwan ang iskor ng mga hurado sa 115-113, 115-113 at 115-114.
“I neutralized that, he couldn’t fight in the middle, that’s why I took control of the punches. He pushed the limits though, he brought it to 12 rounds, but I’ve been there before. I’ve been there in training. It was a good test. We learn from this, we are just going to grow stronger and better,” pahayag ni Ridhwan.
