PhilBoxing.com




This Friday, Dragon Fire Boxing presents its 54th edition of the iconic Thunderdome and the second of 2026 schedule & is shaping up to be an explosive night of fights.

In the main event, Perth prospect “Big Bad” Michael Bayzley takes on veteran Ryan “The Pilgrim” Williams

The undercard features a strong mix of rising prospects and championship bouts that highlight the depth of talent emerging from the Perth boxing scene.

Michael Bazley vs Ryan Williams - State Heavyweight Championship

Thunderdome 54 will be headlined by “Big Bad” Michael Bayzley taking on veteran Ryan “The Pilgrim” Williams for the Western Australian Heavyweight Championship.

The fight was originally set to take place in November 2025 but after a horrific hand injury which William’s hand was crushed in his FIFO (Fly in Fly out) job the fight was put on hold.

Williams is now fully healed, and Bazley has set the Perth boxing scene alight with a string of impressive victories meriting the MAIN EVENT slot.

I'm excited for this fight because I know its gonna be a war. Both men have vowed to leave it all in the ring for this title

Owen Corrigan rematches Mad Dog Micah Rivetti - ANBF Australasian Light Heavyweight Championship

Ireland’s Owen Corrigan has been on an impressive run since turning professional in November 2024.

Undefeated prospect Owen Corrigan will also look to capture championship gold, if victorious

Known for his heavy hands, Corrigan has built a record of 5–0 with two stoppage victories.

In only his sixth fight, Corrigan sets his sights on his second Championship when he takes on Micah Rivetti.

Corrigan has caught the attention of fans with his aggression and power.

Joel “Lethal” Lewis takes on Weifang Li

Joel is always in an exciting fight and his Chinese opponent is looking to test Joel and upset the applecart. One thing with the Chinese fellas is you can never write them off.

Joel took some time off but he is now back at the Dragon Fire Boxing gym and putting in the hard work to perfect his craft. He has the tools and with the right discipline he can go very far this kid.

Undercard

“The undercard is full of can’t miss fights, I’m excited to see the return of the Black Hulk, he was very unlucky not to get the decision in his last two fights against Lewis Clarke but he has regrouped, not complained just spent more time perfecting the craft.”

“We have a WBF Masters Cruiserweight World Title with Riccardo Monteleone and Mark Stephenson, this will be a fun fight with two older boys”

“Tanaka Saburi takes on Bikash Rana for State Championship honours and this

“We have also the Alan Pond Cup with Luke Dowsett and Steve Sibincic, the pro debut of Emmanuel Kori and an absolute belter with Emmanuel Ritti taking on Nobatsu Suzuki in both their pro boxing debuts. Suzuki is a former One FC World Champion”
