Only a few hours after it was announced that Ringstar Management will promote the biggest boxing event in Singapore history at the Foo Chow Building on Friday February 17, 2017, CEO and founder of the company Scott Patrick O’Farrell made the event even bigger.

 
 
Already set for “The Roar Of Singapore”, was a highly interesting match-up for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) World Light Heavyweight title between Ryan Ford (9-0, 6 KOs) from Canada and New Zealand´s Sam Rapira (15-3, 10 KOs) as the headliner.
   
  

In co-featured bouts, Malaysian Mirage Khan (7-1, 3 KOs) will challenge for the vacant UBO Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight title, and Benjamin Kelleher (3-0, 2 KOs) from New Zealand fights for the vacant UBO Asia-Pacific Cruiserweight belt. Opponents for both to be confirmed.

Now a fourth UBO championship fight has been added to the massive card, also making it the biggest UBO event in history, as O’Farrell reveals that local Singapore-star Rafi Majid (3-0, 3 KOs) will attempt to win the vacant Asia-Pacific Super Middleweight title against an opponent TBA.

“I am so excited to get this opportunity”, said Majid. “I want to express my gratitude to Ringstar Management, and especially my great coach Arvind Lalwani, without whom I would not be here.”

Scott Patrick O’Farrell: “I have the honor of working with one of the most respected and real people in boxing, Arvind Lalwani of Juggernaut Fight Club, and founder and pioneer of the Singapore Fighting Championships.”

“Without people like Mr. Boss-Man Lalwani, none of what I dream would be possible. The same goes for Alex Volodin in Malaysia, who gives so much to see people like Mirage Khan become champion.”
  
 

“I love this sport, and I have respect for all involved. Bringing the biggest event in UBO history to Singapore is indeed the greatest achievement of my life.”


“Seeing another Singaporean and a Malaysian become Superstars is exactly what these two countries need and deserve. My hat goes off in awe of the future boxing has with all this talent here.”

“We are bringing World Championship boxing back to exactly that, boxing! The fights being the main attraction, not the stadium or the venue they are being held in. This should never be bigger than the event.”

“I want people to experience and see this sweet science for exactly what it is, not where it is staged! Singapore and the people here are amazing, and I want to hold this huge, history-making event in a country and area that keeps everything real, up-close and engaging.”

Promoted by Ringstar Management, “The Roar Of Singapore” benefits from the support of RightHook Communications, Phuket Top Team, Alex Gym, SFC, Spartans Boxing Club, 11 Sports Network and Astro Arena.
