Thunderdome 55 Results From Metro City, Perth, Australia


Credit: Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 

Press Release: September 1, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - On August 28th, Dragon Fire Boxing Promotions returned to Metro City Arena for yet another explosive night of boxing.


In the main event, Owen Corrigan maintained his undefeated record, defeating Paulo Ratumaikoro by split decision.


The card also showcased a wide variety of exciting fights and quick knockouts.


Owen Corrigan vs Paulo Ratumaikoro


In the card’s headliner, Owen Corrigan defeated Paulo Ratumaikoro by split decision in his first-ever main event.


The win moves Corrigan’s unbeaten record to 7-0.


Coming off a career-best performance against Micah Rivetti, Ireland’s “Bomber” was originally slated to defend his newly won ANBF Australasian Light Heavyweight Title against Cole Smith.


However after Smith withdrew, he was replaced by Paulo Ratumaikoro and the fight took place one weight class above.


Despite the last-minute changes, Corrigan picked up the win in a hard-fought encounter.


Corrigan started the fight patiently, looking to control the range and dictate the pace through pressing the action. 


In an attempt to get inside, Ratumaikoro frequently looked to land the overhand right.


Following the advice from his corner, Corrigan began to utilise his jab more effectively in the third round.


However, whenever the Irishman looked to close the distance Ratumaikoro found success with the overhand as he continued to make the fight look ugly in the pocket.


By the fifth round, Corrigan had started to make reads on his opponent, using his pressure to smother Ratumaikoro against the ropes before the final bell.


When the scorecards were read, it was Corrigan who walked away with the split-decision victory.


Providing the valiant effort from Ratumaikoro, the fight highlighted Corrigan’s ability to adapt and problem solve.


With world renowned trainer Angelo Hyder by his side, the sky is the limit for the Irishman who continues to make his mark as a fighter to watch in the Perth boxing scene.


Michael Bazley vs Sheng Xu


In the co-main event, Michael Bazley defeated Sheng Xu via first-round KO.


Fresh off winning the WA State Heavyweight Championship back in May, “Big Bad” Michael Bazley stepped into the ring against Sheng Xu, his second international opponent.


Bazley delivered yet another stunning knockout to maintain his undefeated record.


The fight started with The Aussie controlling the range with his jab while applying effective forward pressure.


Xu, the much smaller fighter, had a difficult time getting inside. When he did, he was met with a flurry of punches that sent him crashing to the canvas.


The Chinese fighter failed to answer the count, giving Bazley yet another KO victory.


Joel Lewis vs Weifang Li


Earlier in the card, Joel Lewis defeated Weifang Li in their rematch, stopping him via first-round TKO.


The two men first met back in May, with the fight ending in a majority draw. This time around, Lewis finished Li early with a brutal finish.


Both men looked to establish their jab early, attempting to stamp their authority on the fight.


During an exchange in the pocket, Lewis rocked Li with a huge right hook that staggered him backwards. The former state champion followed up with a barrage of punches, dropping Li to the canvas.


Lewis, who displayed a much more patient approach, dropped his opponent two more times before the referee waved off the contest.

PROMOTER TONY TOLJ PREVIEWS THUNDERDOME 55:

 Press Release: August 26, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - Perth, Western Australia — August 28, 2026

Credit: Mike O'Hara/ Dragon Fire Boxing



Dragon Fire Boxing promoter Tony Tolj is expecting fireworks when the iconic Thunderdome series returns to Metro City Arena this Friday, August 28, with Thunderdome 55 shaping up as one of the strongest cards of the year.

The event marks the 55th edition of Thunderdome and the third instalment of the series on Dragon Fire Boxing’s 2026 schedule, bringing together an explosive mix of undefeated fighters, rising prospects, seasoned veterans and hungry debutants.

Headlining the card is undefeated Irishman and new Dragon Fire Boxing signing Owen “Bomber” Corrigan (6-0), who steps up to Cruiserweight for the first time to face highly regarded Fijian Paulo Ratumaikoro.

Ratumaikoro is the type of opponent who welcomes a challenge and has built a reputation for taking on anyone willing to share the ring with him. The Fijian has already faced a number of respected opponents, including undefeated prospect Omar El-Abdallah, Kirra Ruston, Donald Jones and Benjamin Hussein.

For Corrigan, the fight represents another major step forward.

“Owen has gone through more than a dozen opponents who have committed and then pulled out,” Tolj said.

“He's got the right mentality. He basically said, ‘Just put me in that ring and I'll fight anyone.’

“He's now ranked No. 14 at Light Heavyweight in Australia, and I'm very pleased with the improvements he's made under Angelo Hyder and Tony Nobbs.

“Corrigan has caught the attention of fans with his aggression and power — and he's called ‘Bomber’ for a reason.”

The undefeated Irishman now faces perhaps his toughest test yet as he makes the move up in weight.

LETHAL LEWIS READY FOR REMATCH

One of Perth's most entertaining fighters, Joel “Lethal” Lewis, returns against China's Weifang Li in a highly anticipated rematch.

Lewis has built a reputation for being involved in action-packed contests, while Li will be determined to upset the Perth favourite and derail his momentum.

“Joel is always in an exciting fight,” Tolj said.

“His Chinese opponent is looking to test Joel and upset the apple cart. One thing about Chinese fighters is that you can never write them off.”

Lewis has been putting in the work behind the scenes and is determined to take his career to another level.

“He has the tools, and with the right discipline, this kid can go very far once he fully commits,” Tolj added.

“Joel wants the knockout. He doesn't want to leave it in the hands of the judges.”

BIG BAD BAZLEY CHASING THE KO BONUS

Michael “Big Bad” Bazley is quickly developing a cult following in Perth and will look to continue his unbeaten start against tough Chinese opponent Sheng Xu.

Bazley enters the contest with a perfect 3-0 record and has made no secret of his intentions.

“He's vowed to take home the KO bonus,” Tolj said. “He's had three fights and three wins, and he wants to extend that streak.”

SABURI LOOKING TO BREAK INTO THE ELITE

Rising prospect Tanaka Saburi (3-1) faces China's Jingyang Chen (3-1) in what promises to be an intriguing clash between two evenly matched prospects.

Saburi has already broken into the Australian top 15 and sees Friday night as another opportunity to prove he belongs among the country's best.

“Both prospects are coming prepared to give everything they have and showcase who is the best prospect,” Tolj said.

“Saburi has cracked the top 15 in the national ratings and is looking to earn his stripes and eventually take on the elite Australian boxers.”

BIG BOSH BILLY LOOKING FOR REDEMPTION

Billy “Big Bosh” Quinncroft returns hungry to get back into the win column following his hard-fought battle with ANBF Australasian Champion Lewis Clarke in March.

Quinncroft now faces Theepakorn Pankasem in what Tolj describes as a redemption fight.

“Billy has left no stone unturned,” Tolj said. “He's looking to return to the winning column and show what he's capable of.”

DOOM FIST FACES TOUGH TEST

Fresh from an explosive knockout victory over former ONE Championship World Champion Suzuki, “Doom Fist” Manny Ritti returns to action against the durable Liang Wang.

Wang is no stranger to Corrigan, having taken the undefeated Irishman the distance on two occasions.

The question now is whether Ritti can become the first man to stop him.

“Can he stop Wang? We will see Friday night,” Tolj said.

JYE CHIN LOOKING TO CEMENT HIS RATING

CNS Fight Team's Jye Chin is another fighter making waves on the national scene.

Chin has recently entered the Australian rankings at No. 13 at Super Middleweight and will face Indonesia's Laurensius Lowa as he looks to strengthen his claim among the country's best.

“Jye has a very deceptive record,” Tolj said. “He's looking to let his hands fly and cement his claim as one of the best Super Middleweights in the country.”

MORE ACTION ON A STACKED UNDERCARD

The card also features Michelle Lynch vs Harma Yesti over four rounds, a contest Tolj believes could be a genuine fight-of-the-night candidate.

Also scheduled are:

  • Shaun Bayne vs Adam Milnes

  • Brendan Drummond-Hay vs Nicolas Serano

  • Joe Scaffidi vs Ratiphong Khamthao in Scaffidi's professional debut

With such a diverse lineup, Tolj believes fans are in for a night featuring everything professional boxing has to offer.

“I can't wait for Friday,” Tolj said.

“World Champion Andrew Moloney and his brother Jason will be in the house. It has the makings of a special night with a great mixture of technical fights, bangers, new blood and veterans.”

With Corrigan making his Cruiserweight debut, Lewis looking to settle the score, Bazley chasing another knockout, Saburi fighting to climb the rankings, Chin, Ritti, Lynch and a host of hungry prospects ready to make their mark, Thunderdome 55 promises to deliver another explosive night of professional boxing.

“Make sure to get there Friday and experience the Thunderdome.”

“HANDS WILL FLY” — JYE CHIN PROMISES WAR AUG 28 AT THUNDERDOME 55

 

Credit: Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 



Press Release: August 20, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - Perth’s Jye Chin is back in action on August 28, determined to continue his rise through the Australian super-middleweight ranks when Dragon Fire Boxing returns to Metro City Arena for Thunderdome 55.

Perth fight fans are set for another explosive night of boxing when Dragon Fire Boxing brings the iconic Thunderdome series back to Metro City Arena on August 28.

Aussie #13-rated super-middleweight Jye Chin will return to the ring following a standout performance against fellow Australian contender Ryan Daye, carrying plenty of momentum into his latest challenge.

The 22-year-old prospect has built an impressive three-fight winning streak and now faces Indonesia’s Laurensius Lowa, with Chin determined to take another step towards the upper reaches of the division.

Despite his growing reputation, Chin isn't taking anything for granted.

“Don’t know much about my opponent. I don’t take anybody lightly, so I’m expecting a war regardless. I think he’ll bring pressure, and I’m ready to fight any kind of fight it turns into.”

That mentality has been reflected in Chin’s preparation, with the young contender putting in serious work ahead of fight night.

“Training has been great! Sparring nearly three times a week and I’m feeling very fit.”

Breaking into the Australian top 15 is already a significant achievement for the 22-year-old, but Chin insists he is nowhere near satisfied.

“To be in the top 15 is a privilege but also a testament to my hard work. I took the hard road and didn’t take an easy fight to achieve it. But it’s barely what I want. Top 5 by next year is the goal.”

Chin is also promising fans a memorable performance when he steps between the ropes on August 28.

“My message to my opponent is simply good luck. I’m not one for the talk, so hands will fly and one will be raised.”

And his prediction for the night is clear.

“Come down and watch the SHOW!! To the fans, I promise a performance and I promise a stoppage. Come down and support as it will be my last one this year.”

With a top-15 ranking already secured, a three-fight winning streak behind him and ambitions of breaking into the Australian top five, Jye Chin has plenty at stake at Thunderdome 55.

August 28. Metro City Arena.

Don’t miss the return of Jye Chin.

Big Bad Bazley challenges The Pilgrim Ryan Williams for Heavyweight title May 29 in Perth


Credit: Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 



Press Release: April 6, 2026 By Dragon Fire Boxing - May 29th, Dragon Fire Boxing hits the Metro City Arena for the second time this year for 54th Edition of the Iconic Thunderdome series with a stacked card.


One of the main events features undefeated Michael “Big Bad” Bazley 2-0 taking of Ryan Williams for the Western Australian State Championship


Bazley opened up about his title fight challenge;


“For years, people around me like teammates, coaches, and friends told me I had what it takes to be a champion and that I could beat these guys if I really put my mind to it. At the time though, I was just happy staying active and doing it for fun.”


“One of my close mates and I used to joke all the time about me becoming champion. It was always something we laughed about until he passed away in 2025.”


“That hit me like a lightning bolt and changed everything. From that moment, I knew I couldn’t treat this like a hobby anymore. I had to get the job done for him, for everyone who believed in me, and for myself”


Michael Bazley has been studying his opponent for quite some time


“I first saw Ryan on the boxing scene back in 2016 or 2017 when I was watching the Thunderdomes, and I’ve observed him on and off since then. He’s a dangerous and exciting fighter with a never-say-die attitude, which is something I see within myself too.”


“Whenever he was on a card, I always made sure to tune in because you knew it was going to be a great fight. He’s built an amazing fanbase over the years, and it’s great to see.”


“I was a bit surprised when he was lined up to be my first fight for the Alan Pond Cup. It’s a very different thing watching someone from the outside and then stepping in to face them yourself. Although a serious injury meant that fight was cancelled, he took me by surprise at the Thunderdome 53 face-off. “


“You’ve probably noticed I’ve been holding back in my last couple of fights, just trying to get ring time. You’ve earned my respect, so in this one, I won’t be holding anything back”


Your not going to want to miss this one!

Joel Lewis Talks Boxing Evolution Ahead Of Thunderdome 52 Bout This Friday In Perth, Australia

Credit: Mike O'Hara Dragon Fire Boxing 



Press Release: November 26, 2025 By Lewis Moss - This Friday, November 28th Dragon Fire Boxing Promotions returns to the Metro City Night Club for their final event of the year.


 


In the main event, Bilal Seidu and Lewis Clarke clash in a highly anticipated rematch for the Interim WA State Cruiserweight Championship.


 


Earlier in the card, “Lethal” Joel Lewis looks to extend his impressive winning streak when he fights Sonny Manakane, who is stepping in on short notice in place of the injured Yong Shuai Liuan.


 


Two weeks ago, it was announced that Lewis had signed a new long-term managerial deal with Dragon Fire Boxing, stating that he was excited to continue his development under the promotion.


 


“I'm excited for what the future beholds” Lewis said. “We've got a great team at Dragon Fire and that's what will take me to the top.


 


“The management and everything that I've got at Dragon Fire is going to be a real big factor towards my future and my boxing career.


 


“I know [DragonFire] will look after me in 2026 and I'm sure it'll be a massive year for me now that I’m entering my prime. 


 


“I'll be getting a lot more wins under my belt and hopefully I'll be getting a lot more titles as well.”


 


Ever since debuting in 2023, Joel Lewis has solidified himself as one of the best fighters in WA, accumulating a record of 7-1 and a resume of highlight-reel finishes.


 


In June 2024, Lewis suffered his first defeat when he travelled to Bangkok to fight Mardi Sarbaz. The former State champion credits this moment as a massive learning experience in terms of his approach to the sport.


 


“[The Sarbaz fight] was a massive learning curve for me” Lewis told, “it was a good experience because it really changed the way I looked at my career.


 


“I was on a winning streak at that point, it just made me realise that I was still human and I still had a lot to work on.


 


“I just went back to the drawing board, got my boxing skills up and came back a lot stronger. In my recent fights, I've got some good stoppage wins, that first loss really switched me on.”


 


Since his first defeat, Joel Lewis has been on a tear in the regional scene. Currently riding a three-fight knockout streak, the Aussie’s most impressive performance came in his most recent fight against Fano Kori, as he dominated the veteran in every round before knocking him out in the dying seconds of the fight.


 


“I knew it was going to be a hard fight. Fano [Kori] is not an easy opponent.” Lewis said. 


 


“He's got a lot of experience, a lot more than I had going into the fight. So I knew it was going to be a tough job, but I just stayed true to what I knew.”


 


The win over Kori was Lewis’ first fight since relocating to New South Wales to train under Angelo Hyder. Hyder is a highly respected figure in Australian boxing, having trained multiple world champions such as Danny Green and the Moloney Brothers.


 


Lewis credits Hyder with the improvements that he has made in the ring.


 


“[Training with Hyder] has been amazing, my boxing has come a long way,” Lewis revealed.


 


“My camp is what made the difference against Kori, I felt I was ready for that fight. I have a lot of power in my hands and my boxing has come a long way.


 


“I was just a good fighter, but [Hyder] has really turned me into a great boxer and that's what I'm going to show again come Friday night.” 


 


Standing in Lewis’ way this time is Sonny Manakane, an international opponent who is stepping in on short notice to replace Yong Shuai Liuan whose injury forced him out of his scheduled fight with the Aussie.


 


“I've watched a little bit of his fights” Lewis told. “I think he'll come forward quite a bit and that will work well with my boxing style, because I like to draw my opponents into my big shots.”



With an exciting fight style and an aggressive demeanour, any fight that involves “Lethal” Joel Lewis is guaranteed to be a must see bout.

ThunderDome 52 Card Preview:

Press Release: November 18, 2025 By Lewis Moss - 

Credit:Mike O'Hara/Dragon Fire Boxing 


On November 28, Dragonfire Boxing makes its return to Metro City Night Club for their final event of the year.


The main event features a highly anticipated rematch between Bilal Seidu and Lewis Clarke for the Interim WA State Cruiserweight Title.


The undercard also features a whopping fifteen fights, including a mix of exciting matchups and rising prospects from the Perth regional scene.


Bilal Seidu vs Lewis Clarke


Thunderdome 52 will be headlined by the rematch between Bilal Seidu and Lewis Clarke.


Going into their first encounter in August, Clarke was a former heavyweight who dropped to cruiserweight to chase a second state championship. Seidu, looked to get himself back into contention after losing a state title fight earlier in the year.


Despite many thinking that Seidu had done enough to earn the victory, it was Clarke who was awarded the controversial split decision, sparking calls for a second meeting.


With current WA State Cruiserweight Champion Billy Quinncroft unavailable, Promoter Tony Tolj announced that the rematch will be for the interim title, adding significant stakes.


Fans can expect an intense showdown as the pair settle the score once and for all.


Binny Folan vs Sherwyn Watkins


In the co-main event, Binny Folan looks to continue his undefeated streak as he faces the returning Sherwyn Watkins for the WA NITRO Super Middleweight Title.


After six years out of the ring, Ireland’s Folan made his comeback in 2025, scoring two victories over Rusty Oates. For his third fight back, he sets his sights on championship gold against Watkins.


Watkins, who holds a 6-3-1 record, returns for the first time in seven years as he aims to halt Folan’s momentum. 


With both men seeking to re-establish themselves in the Perth boxing scene, the stakes are very high.


Holly McMath vs Sarah Higginson II


The card also features a rematch between Holly McMath and Sarah Higginson for the ANBF Australasian Flyweight Title.


Earlier this year, the pair met for the first time at the RAC Arena in an action packed contest. 


The fight was cut short after an accidental head clash left Higginson unable to continue, resulting in a technical decision win for McMath.


On November 28, they meet again in hopes of scoring a decisive victory and settling unfinished business.


Joel Lewis vs Sonny Manakane


Joel Lewis aims to extend his impressive winning streak when he faces international opponent Sonny Manakane.


Lewis has been on fire since suffering his first defeat overseas in June 2024, racking up three consecutive stoppage victories. 


His latest win was an emphatic finish against Fano Kori, as he dominated the veteran before closing the show in the dying seconds of the fight.


Standing in the Perth fighter’s way this time is Yong Shuai Liuan, an international opponent who looks to stop the momentum of the Aussie.


 


Lewis’ fight against Liuan will be his second since relocating to the Gold Coast to train under Angelo Hyder, an experienced coach who has multiple world champions to his name including Danny Green and the Moloney brothers.


Sam Rennie vs Sunardi Gamboa


The Isle of Man’s Sam Rennie takes on Sunardi Gamboa in another intriguing matchup.


Rennie is coming off his first fight outside Australia, where he scored a lopsided decision win in Phuket over Pyae Thein Oo back in October. 


The WBC Silver Australasian Champion now returns to Perth to face Sunardi Gamboa, a seasoned competitor who has shared the ring with former WBA Featherweight world title challenger Sam Goodman.


The fight looks to be a step up in competition for Rennie as he continues his journey up the boxing ladder.


Owen Corrigan vs Liang Wang II


Owen Corrigan makes his return to the ring in a rematch with Liang Wang.


Since 2024, Ireland’s ‘Bomber’ has made a statement as a rising force holding an undefeated 3-0 record. Liang Wang however, remains the only opponent he hasn’t been able to stop inside the distance.


In their first fight, Corrigan dominated throughout, but Wang showed tremendous resilience to hear the final bell. 


This time, The Irishman hopes to secure the knockout he narrowly missed.


Damien Johnson vs Michael Bazley


Damien Johnson and Michael Bazley will fight each other for the fifth annual Alan Pond Cup.


Bazley will be making his professional debut against Johnson, who is stepping in on two weeks notice to replace the injured Ryan Willams.

“Everything falling into place I’ve made the mistake in the past certainly the case last time we fight of going to had to early and peaking at the wrong time, been hitting numbers and ticking boxes from next week really I’m going to be lifting the lid on it, very confident in my mindset at the moment”


 


“Bring your best, because I’m not rematching you for fun!”
