Thunderdome returns
March 3 will mark the date of the return of an Australian institution, The Thunderdome boxing series, based out of Metro City in Perth, Western Australia.
The name comes out of the Mad Max Thunderdome movie, as its the most unique venue in all of Australia boxing, there are four levels in an ampitheatre-style modern day coliseum, all looking down at the ring. The ring itself is situated on a stage as the facility operates as a concert venue.
Thunderdome began back in 2003 and has amassed 33 events and is ingrained in the fabric of Australian boxing. World champions who have appeared on Thunderdome cards have been WBA champion of the decade Chris John, Vic Darchinyan, Jeff Horn, Daud Yordan, Simpiwe Vetyeka as well as regular appearances by Australian icon Danny Green.
Several Western Australian boxers of the current generation have made their pro debuts at the Thunderdome.
Dragon Fire Boxing promoter Tony Tolj discussed the upcoming card, "I’m excited about this March 3rd card and our first for 2023. Alex Winwood is a tremendous talent and is ready to make a statement in his second fight taking on former World Champion and World rated Tibo Monabesa of Indonesia for the WBC International Light Flyweight Championship over 10 rounds.
"We also have two great state titles with the Heavyweight State title putting Lewis Clarke and Alick Williams, as well as the Womens Welterweight Champion with Sophia Davies-Morgan taking on Jaki Toth. We will also see Steve Gago a former IBF and WBC Regional Champion, exciting prospects "The African Dream" Kazeem Soyoye and Ben Innes, plus many more.
"One thing which has separated Thunderdome from everywhere else is the competition, it's always as best of 50/50 fights as you can get and March 3 will be no different, two men enter and only one man leaves… This is the Thunderdome!"
