Filipino fighter Dy to keenly watch Brave CF 54 championship result
THE lightweight world championship title will be at stake when Brave Combat Federation (CF) plays Poland later this month and one keen observer is going to be Filipino fighter Rolando 鈥淭he Incredible鈥 Dy.
To take place on Sept. 25 in Konin, 鈥淏rave CF 54鈥 will have lightweight champion Amin 鈥淔ierceness鈥 Ayoub of France and challenger Ahmed 鈥淭he Butcher鈥 Amir of Egypt duking it out in the main event.
Mr. Dy, son of Filipino boxing legend Rolando Navarette, expressed a lot of interest in the upcoming title clash as it could well determine who his next opponent would be.
Last April, Mr. Dy, the organization鈥檚 2020 Fighter of the Year awardee, called out Mr. Amir on social media and vowed to give the Egyptian bruiser 鈥渁 real fight.鈥 However, the latter brushed off the challenge.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ayoub promised the power-punching Pinoy a world title shot after they both won their fights at Brave CF 44 last year.
Mr. Dy, however, said it remains to be seen if Messrs. Amir and Ayoub would take the challenge he presents, but he remains hopeful that they do.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 think any of them will choose to fight me if Amin retains the belt or Amir wins the title,鈥 Mr. Dy said about a possible match-up against either man.
鈥淸But] I am hungry to fight. I am always looking for some good competition. I don鈥檛 back out, I don鈥檛 make excuses, and I show up even if it鈥檚 on short notice. As long as I can make the walkout, I will fight,鈥 he added.
Thirty-year-old Mr. Dy (14-10) last fought in March, losing to Abdysalam Uulu Kubanychbek by technical knockout (corner stoppage) in the second round. Prior to that, he won back-to-back fights. 鈥 Michael Angelo S. Murillo
