KINILALA ng World Boxing Council (WBC) ang natatanging gawa ni Ringstar Founder at CEO Scott Patrick Farrell sa ginanap na WBC Women’s Convention and Asian Summit nitong weekend sa Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).
Ipinagkaloob kay Farrel ang ‘Orient Promoter of the Year’ award.
“It’s good to be recognized,” pahayag ni Farrel.

Tinanggap niya ang plaque mula kay WBC Asia President Pol. General Kovid Bhakdibhum.
“People are starting to see that it’s not about who has the loudest voice as a promoter, it’s also recognizing the investment that a promoter is making in building the sport from the ground up. I’m about true matchmaking and giving the fans exciting fights combined with true back stories of humanity and sacrifice. Ringstar is the first legit boxing promotion and sports property truly invested in producing Asian boxers to become global stars of the sport. This is who I am,” aniya.
“Boxing to me is about putting on great fights,” aniya. “and there’s a lot of really, really good talent in Asia. I think we need to build a platform to showcase these guys. That’s better than sending them to the US or Europe as opponents.”
Itinatag niya ang Singapore-based Ringstar noong 2017 at sa nakalipas na taon, isang Pinoy sa katauhan niIBO World Bantamweight champion Michael Dasmarinas ang nabigyan ng international recognition dahil sa Ringstar promotion.
Kabilang din sa mga prominenteng fighter ng Ringstar sina IBO Intercontinental Featherweight champion Muhamad Ridhwan of Singapore, New Zealand based Thai super featherweight Nort Beauchamp, welterweight Chinese slugger Keng Fai, WBC Asia Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Mirage Khan, New Zealand boxing champion Cairo George, among others. Nakontrata rin niya sina three-time IBO world champion at dating WBO World Bantamweight champion Paulus Abunda ng Namibia.
