Thunderdome 48 - Jude Grant vs Fano Kori

PhilBoxing.com




On November 29, Dragonfire Promotions once again hits Metro City Night Club for its final show of the year.

In the main event, the undefeated Jude Grant aims to prove why he is one of the hottest prospects in Australia when he takes on the hard hitting veteran Fano Kori.

In his short boxing career spanning just over two years, Grant has established himself as one for the future.

Using his natural speed, superb foot movement and advanced ring IQ for his age, the Perth fighter has built up an undefeated resume of seven wins collecting three state titles along the way.

The young gun has picked up two impressive victories in 2024 and he looks to carry his momentum into the new year.

In his last fight, Grant picked up his second stoppage victory defeating Benny Tamaela. He aims to close off his impressive year with a statement victory over Kori who is said to be his toughest challenge to date.

Since his debut in 2016, Fano Kori has established himself as a key figure in the Perth boxing scene. With his fan friendly style, Kori always brings the action which make his fights must see for any boxing fan.

Riding a victory of 8-8-1, The Cuban Boxing Club fighter has been in the ring with some of Australia’s most prominent boxing names, such as Jordan LaRuccia and Ben Mahoney.

In his last outing, Kori was unlucky to be on the losing end against Ryan Daye Last August. Coming up short in the back and forth encounter by stoppage, despite being ahead on two of the judges’ scorecards.

Next Friday, the veteran looks to get back on track in his pursuit of a State or Australasian title. A win over Grant will most definitely put him back on that path.

After exploring different weight classes, Grant has taken this fight at Junior Middleweight one of his preferred weight classes where his speed and footwork will be more of a factor.

Kori will present a different type of danger and grit, at a level that Grant has not had to deal with before, with his power and athleticism most definitely being key in determining the outcome.

If Grant is victorious over his opponent, it takes him one step closer to his goal of an Aussie title fight in 2025.

With high stakes for both fighters, this bout is one that Perth fans absolutely cannot miss.

Grant vs Kori takes place on the November 29 at Metro City Night Club and is streaming on Live CombatSports.com.au.
