Pinoy Boxer Michael Dasmarinas Gears up for his IBO World Title Fight on April

By

Filipino boxer Michael “Hot & Spicy” Dasmarinas, gears up for the biggest fight of his life, as he goes for an IBO world championship title on April 20, 2018, at Ringstar Boxing’s ‘Roar of Singapore IV - The Night of Champions’, to be held at the 10,000-seater Singapore Indoor Stadium.

 Dasmarinas currently ranked 12th best boxer in the world by WBC, will go up against French boxer Karim Guerfi, who is currently ranked 4th by WBC.  The fight is also touted by the Singapore promoter as the main event of the evening and will draw much international attention to the Camarines Sur-native.

 Dasmarinas had an impressive win and KO’d his Thai opponent Phupha Por Nobnom, during the 2nd round of his match, at Ringstar’s ‘Roar of Singapore 
III - The Chosen Wan’, last October 20, 2017, at the Suntec Convention Center, a win which gave way for this world title match.

 Michael Dasmarinas says, “Nakakagalak po at nabigyan tayo ng Ringstar ng ganitong pagkakataong mapakita ang ating galing bilang Pilipino.  Ngayon po ay puspusan ang aking paghahanda.  Tuloy-tuloy po ang ating ensayo dahil nais ko po makamit ang IBO world title na ito.  Samahan niyo po ako magdasal na makuha natin ang panalong ito.  Ang panalo ko po ay pagkapanalo rin ng Pilipinas.”  (I am happy that I am being given this opportunity by Ringstar to show my talent as a Filipino boxer.  I am now training continuously, so that I can win this IBO world title bout.  Please join me in praying, so that we can win.  My win, will also be a win for the Philippines.) 

 Ringstar Boxing Founder & CEO Scott Farrel on the other hand says, “This is potentially one of the fight of the year nominees for 2018.  Michael Dasmarinas WBC ranked 12 vs. Karim Guerif WBC ranked 4, will be a real war which both the Philippine and French boxing fans would love to see.  Ringstar is all about a neutral fight platform, giving a genuine unbiased opportunity for both these great fighters to lift the IBO world title.”

 Farrel continues, “If Dasmarinas is successful in this fight, he will be catapulted into the top 10, and in line to face the current great champions of the bantamweight division.  He has the chance now to move forward and aim for greatness, like what his country’s very own hero Manny Pacquiao has achieved.  I wish both fighters the best of luck, and I look forward to promoting this fight.  This fight is a must-watch for all boxing fans, we have a Filipino boxer vs. a French boxer headlining a Singapore event, going head-to-head for the biggest fight night of their lives, with the IBO world title at stake.” 

 For 2018, Ringstar is set to bring its live events across Asia - China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines included.  While for 2019, Ringstar plans to do a minimum of ten shows per year and have a combined viewing audience of over 1 billion viewers, making it Asia’s top fight media property.
