“Not
all fighters would come out of a title fight,
and get right back into preparations for another
one seven weeks later”, said Farrell. “And
especially when its against a very good opponent
such as Majiha, who
I
think was outright robbed against Umbal
and deserves
another big fight.”
“This
is
yet another
fifty-fifty match-up on the show, and if we get
Singapore´s first ever world champion on May 27
it will be groundbreaking for boxing here.
Ridhwan will become an absolute super-star!”
Farrell
clearly wants to see Singapore boxing grow, and
he admits that at times his passion for people
to do well overshadows everything else, that his
absolute priority is that things happen on a
fair and correct platform without corruption. As
he puts it, “Dollars and cents only matter to
the people who wants Dollars and cents”.
