Dragon Fire Boxing promoter Tony Tolj discussed the upcoming card;
“I’m very excited about this June 16 card. Alex Winwood IBF #12 WBC #13 (2-0) is a generational talent and has been in camp with WBO world bantamweight champion Jason Moloney and former WBA world champion Andrew Moloney ahead of their respective fights. He has amassed over 120 rounds of World Class sparring with World class talent,” Tolj said.
“Alex has gone to another level and has his hands full with the WBC world #5 Reyneris Gutierrez (9-0) of Nicaragua for the WBC International strawweight championship. I expect this to steal the show. Winwood destroyed the former IBO world champion Tibo Monabesa inside four brutal rounds, Alex is determined to become world champion in record fashion and do it in style and I believe its gonna be a great ride for everyone involved.
“We have 11 fights in total, 2 State title with Jude Grant taking on Jye Chin for the W.A State middleweight championship and Richard Lockett taking on Amit Thapa for the super bantamweight championship, both will be crackers.”
