The co-feature event will see Australian resident by way of Nigeria Kazeem “The African Dream” Soyoye (6-1, 4 KOs) lock horns with Indonesia’s’s Rivo “The Renegade” Kundimang (9-5, 5 KOs) in a 6 round lightweight contest. Soyoye was last in action on Dragon Fire Boxings: Thunderdome 42 June 16 with an emphatic victory over “Big Daddy” Deddy Imprax stopping his opponent in 2 rounds extending his win streak to 3 wins from fights

Returning to the Thunderdome is Millad “The Monster” Farzad (4-0, 3 KOs) and puts his undefeated record on the line with fellow undefeated Butahan Boral (3-0, 3 Kos) in what expected to be a war of attriction as both former come forward, toe to toe elite Kickboxing World Champions have promised that this fight wont go the distance.

Three state titles are also on line, highly touted Super Welterweight contender Jude Grant (3-0, 1 KO) challenges Turkish Boxer Bahtiyar Sonyol for the WA State Championship.

W.A Super Bantamweight Champion Richard Lockett takes on Emmanuel Micaleff for the State Featherweight Championship.

Kicking off the televised card will be Joel Lewis taking on war horse Habib Kherikah.

The show will be hosted by esteemed broadcaster CJ Rose and will be joined as always by Brett Bonetti and Paul Morison.

Promoter Tony Tolj discusses the upcoming card:

“Im pumped for this show, I thrive on seeing the next generation of fighters coming through and Laruccia vs Kori is going to tremendous match as trajectory test for both competitors.

The return of Millad (Fazrad) is exciting, he refused any discussion of an “easy” fight and is taking on a tough undefeated Turkish Warrior that has based himself in Thailand in preparation for this war.

Jude Grant has another great fight, Joel Lewis will have his first Thunderdome appearance against Habib who is always in a war. Ryan Daye coming back, add 3 State Championships on top and what you have is another great night of fights and im sure it will be a September to remember.”

Fights will be live on FITE.TV
