May 29th, Dragon Fire Boxing hits the Metro City Arena for the second time this year for the 54th edition of the iconic Thunderdome series with a stacked card.
One of the feature fights pits two MMA fighters turning to boxing in Manny Ritti and former One FC World Champion Nobutsu Suzuki
Manny Ritti discusses all things boxing:
“Not long ago I was in a place I thought was irrecoverable, but I got to where I am now. This means I can do whatever I put my mind into with the Grace of God upon me.”
“I Grew up fighting bullies in order to get to school or get home from school. I’ve never ran from any fight in my life, at some point I realised. This is just who I am, a fighter.“
“I idolise no human except for God, I do like watching the likes of Tyson, Garcia, GGG, Davis.”
“I’ve never been in a boring fight in my life. This will be the best fight of the night. Expect fireworks, expect a live execution in front of my hometown.”
“An old lion is still a lion, I do not take him lightly in anyway. I’m coming for him with everything in my arsenal. A younger lion always comes for that old lions spot. Your time is up, GET OUT OF MY WAY.”
“I want that WBC belt, I’m the real champion and I know it.”
“ There’s a guy, Jye Chin. He’s got what I want. That fight would be electric and the whole city will agree on it. I STOP HIM.”
