The Riddler is the most accomplished of three aspiring Vietnam boxers in the exhibition bouts.

Quan was a youth champion in HCMC, and has continued his boxing training with the hope of becoming a professional competitor later on. He has won at Inter Club level, and he definitely possesses the look of a boxer that can make it to the pros. He is also a good size for a super featherweight, and he still retains some nice amateur touches in his arsenal.

Phan Minh Quan has a real reputation of asking the hard questions of his opponents, and some, well they just seem near impossible to answer.

Hence – The Riddler !

TWO YEARS AGO ALREADY !!

TWO YEARS AGO ALREADY !!

Bit of nostalgia here, but this FORTUNES OF WAR was an extremely fun event (despite the many dramas) and well worth revisiting. And you will see that there are lot's of familiar names on this historic fight card.

The Vietnam 🇻🇳 team was spearheaded by Dinh Hong Quân, a guy that had been on a winning run and was defending an IBF Title, but he was having lots of trouble with his weight in the lead up. He even collapsed at one stage and had to be resuscitated at one point !
We had top young prospects Lê Hoàng Hiep and Phan Minh Quân, who fought out of their skins against international pro boxers with more than 70 wins between them ! 
Nguyễn Văn Hải is obviously a legend on the local scene but had been inactive, so he was a bit of a "query" inclusion - yet he produced a memorable performance that culminated in two dramatic knockdowns.
But even more amazing was the debut of another Vietnam kid Thai Hoang Huy - this guy had never even boxed (he was a muay thai student that loved the idea of being a boxer !) And he went in with an opponent that had 14 knockouts in 15 wins - BIG BALLS !!
Suffice to say, the Vietnam 🇻🇳 team had a great experience and a lot of fun at this show - it was held at the beautiful Grand Ho Tram Resort in the coastal area of Vung Tau.

The visiting international team?
Well - some crazy talent on that side of the fence !

Philippines 🇵🇭 - Charly Suarez, Mark John Yap, Arnel Baconaje, Jetro Pabustan and Jon Jon Estrada. 
These guys share plaudits as multiple national and regional title holders, with the unbeaten Suarez currently on the precipice of a world title.

Indonesia 🇮🇩 - Paisal Panjaitan - a really top unbeaten prospect who is now #2 in his country.
Defry Palulu - an Indonesia #2 and WBC belt holder.

South Korea 🇰🇷 - Chan Ho Song - an unbeaten 12-0 guy with blazing hands and a World Youth champ.

Thailand 🇹🇭 - Anuson Thonglueang - a top youth prospect with only one loss in 14 bouts, and who currently sits at #2 rated Welterweight in Thailand. 

Thanks for making this FORTUNES OF WAR a very memorable event boys, you put on a thrilling and entertaining show for everyone that was lucky enough to be there to see it.
VSP wish you continued luck and enjoyment in your boxing adventures ahead.

PS. the main event between Dinh Hong Quân 🇭🇰 and Arnel Baconaje 🇵🇭 was watched by more than 2 million people online !

It was a really nice foreign debut for Phan Minh Quân in Korea last Sunday.

Vietnam had plenty of good touches, and despite a narrow loss, served it up to the Uzbek champ.

NGUYỄN KHẮC DŨNG GRABS HIS OPPORTUNITY
August 23, 2023

NGUYỄN KHẮC DŨNG GRABS HIS OPPORTUNITY

It was only July 29th that Hanoi boxer Nguyễn Khắc Dũng fought at VSP PRO, and plans were for the strongly built Lightweight to return to the ring in maybe 2 to 3 months.

But a late withdrawal of the opponent of Binh Duong team's Truong Hai Bien this Saturday created an immediate chance to fight that Dũng simply could not refuse.

And as they say, fortune favours the brave !

Dũng debuted at just one week's notice against one of Saigon's most promising boxers - former  youth champ Phan Minh Quân. He returned last month in vastly improved shape, but met an equally improved rival in Tran Tan Quang Dao.

The Hanoi boxer showed great sturdiness under pressure, because Dao arguably put on the best boxing performance of the night.

Courtesy of his improvement, the match up between Nguyễn Khắc Dũng and southpaw Truong Hai Bien shapes as one of the most interesting this Saturday night.

Bien is on debut, but has an extensive kickboxing and muay thai background, and the reports from Binh Duong are that he will be well suited to the professional boxing arena.

This fight has been elevated to the main undercard, and be in no doubt that these two hard headed warriors will do it justice !

Fight 7 Winner

Fight 7 Winner

Phan Minh Quân thắng điểm không đồng thuận trước Đàm Ngọc Đức trong trận đấu tâm điểm sự kiện Boxing chuyên nghiệp VSP Pro 6!!!

Hiệp 1: Hai võ sỹ đều cho thấy kỹ thuật tuyệt vời với nền tảng tập luyện boxing bài bản và gặt hái nhiều thành tích ở cấp độ quốc gia.

Phan Minh Quân chủ động ép đài, tung ra body-shot và tìm đòn móc. Trong khi đó Đàm Ngọc Đức dù bị ép đài vẫn di chuyển thông minh và những cú trả đòn thông minh, hiệu quả.

Hiệp 2: Minh Quân vẫn giữ thế thủ high-guard và tiến vào dồn ép đàn em Ngọc Đức. Tuy vậy những đòn tay sau và khả năng di chuyển thoát góc vẫn giúp Ngọc Đức giữ được khoảng cách an toàn.

Trận đấu rất căng thẳng khi cả hai tay đấm đều thể hiện tốt ý đồ chiến thuật. Phải đến cuối hiệp đấu Minh Quân trong tình huống ép đài mới tìm thấy liên tiếp combo đấm móc chất lượng trúng vùng mặt Ngọc Đức.

Hiệp 3: Minh Quân vẫn chủ động áp sát trong khi Ngọc Đức di chuyển linh hoạt, tìm cách phản công và thoát góc. Phải đến khoảng 30 giây cuối cùng hiệp đấu mới "nóng" khi cả hai võ sỹ đứng giữa đài liên tục đổi đòn cực kỳ hấp dẫn.

Hiệp 4: Kịch bản "nóng bỏng" ở cuối hiệp 3 được cả hai tay đấm tiếp tục thể hiện ở 3 phút hiệp đấu thứ 4. Không còn nhiều tình huống di chuyển, thay vào đó cả hai hầu như chỉ đứng ở giữa đài và liên tục đổi đòn.

Dù tốc độ né đòn khá tốt nhưng Ngọc Đức vẫn dính nhiều đòn hơn. Những cú đấm móc và jab của Minh Quân cho thấy sự chuẩn xác và hiệu quả tốt hơn góp phần giúp anh ghi điểm ở hiệp đấu quyết định.

Kết quả: 39-37, 39-37, 38-38. Phan Minh Quân thắng điểm không đồng thuận.

VSP PRO 6 READY

Không chỉ là nắm đấm, các võ sĩ trẻ tại VSP Pro 6 tỏ ra vô cùng thích thú với "bài học khiêu khích" trên sàn Boxing chuyên nghiệp.

Boxing chuyên nghiệp là gì? Là nơi các võ sĩ kiếm tiền từ chính các trận đấu của mình? Chưa đủ, đó phải là những "show diễn" nơi mỗi cá nhân thể hiện không chỉ năng lực, mà còn là cá tính và sự thích thú khiến khán giả phải kéo đến sân theo dõi họ thi đấu. Đó là điều các võ sĩ góp mặt tại sự kiện Boxing chuyên nghiệp VSP Pro 6 được trải nghiệm với cảm giác thích thú và cả ngượng ngùng trước đám đông.

"Khán giả thích những màn kịch", "Họ thích những màn trình diễn chứ không chỉ là các cuộc đấu tay đôi", ông Lim Song, người sáng lập chuỗi sự kiện VSP Pro phân tích với các võ sĩ ở buổi cân kí VSP Pro 6 chiều ngày 28/7 tại TP. Hồ Chí Minh.

PREY BECOMES THE PREDATOR!

When we enlisted @anhnquan to fight against @markjohn_yap on an exhibition match during #FortunesOfWar event at #grandhotram, we wondered if this Vietnamese debutant can even survive the first 2 rounds against a veteran boxer such as Mark John Yap who has had 48 professional fights with 31 wins and 50% KO rate! Yap also held OPBF champion title 3 times! The result was completely unexpected as Quan turned the table around and often stalked the former champion around the ring. This kid has got talents!

Super entertaining bout that was unfortunately stopped early due to a head cut to the Philippines star.

MARK JOHN YAP GETS A TORRID WELCOME

Philippines Mark John Yap received a solid workout at Fortunes of War, a great bout unfortunately cut short in round 3 due to accidental head clash.

Yap and Vietnam opponent Phan Minh Quân both enjoyed good moments early on, with the pinoy star getting a cut above the right eye very late in round one.

The Philippines boxer got the best of the second round, and the fighters followed that with toe to toe action, only to be halted by the ring doctor shortly after.

This was a great display by former HCMC youth boxer Quân, who clearly relished the challenge of fighting an established star like Mark John Yap.

Mark John Yap v Phan Minh Quân  -   Fight 4

PHAN MINH QUAN  Debut

23 yrs old / Orthodox / The Riddler / 170cm / 59kg Super Featherweight

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam / Matrix Boxing HCMC

The Riddler is the most accomplished of three aspiring Vietnam boxers in the exhibition bouts.

That said, he faces the most daunting opponent – 3 times OPBF champion Mark John Yap,

Quan was a youth champion in HCMC, and has continued his boxing training with the hope of becoming a professional competitor later on. He has won at Inter Club level, and he definitely possesses the look of a boxer that can make it to the pros. He is also a good size for a super featherweight, and he still retains some nice amateur touches in his arsenal.

Phan Minh Quan has a real reputation of asking the hard questions of his opponents, and some, well they just seem near impossible to answer.

Hence – The Riddler !

MARK JOHN YAP  31 wins

33 yrs old / Orthodox / The Journey Man / 168cm / 59kg Super Featherweight

Cagayan de Oro, Philippines / VSP Elorde Manila

Mark John Yap is one of the Philippines premier boxers, and arguably one of their best internationally performed in recent times. In the five years prior to the pandemic, Yap literally tore some of Japan’s best fighters to shreds, and picked up three OPBF titles in the process. He has recorded 31 wins as a professional. Amazing considering the caliber of opposition that he has confronted during his incredible career.

This is a vastly experienced boxing star who most recently overcame Papua New Guinea champion Junior Raka in dominating fashion, and will be using this exhibition bout the keep his weapons sharp for a likely bout in Manila in January.

Don’t be surprised to see the Journey Man back in Vietnam in 2023 for a big fight.

Of course, he has to get past Phan Minh Quan first!

They are all on steep learning paths, and it will be a significant task just to survive their battles in Ho Tram.

THE GRAND HO TRAM CHASING GREATNESS

Vietnam is a hotbed of boxing talent, and there are many picturesque locations in that special country  to show case the best action matches to fight fans.

The Grand Ho Tram situated  in the southern beach area of Vung Tau is simply iconic, and as the name suggests, they have some very GRAND plans.

This beautiful coastal resort plans to be "THE PLACE" for boxing in Asia  - think of Vegas by the beach !

The event will also embrace the fun side of boxing, and will avail three novice Vietnam prospects the opportunity to share the ring with top foreign professionals. These exhibition bouts will be fast and furious and held over 4 rounds - if they go that long!

Congratulations

to our friends at The Grand Ho Tram for being such great supporters of boxing, and for hosting the most iconic sports event in Vietnam this year.

A perfect way to end 2022 !

Trận đấu đầu tiên mở màn cho sự kiện VSP PRO #6 diễn ra lúc 18:00 vào ngày 29/7/2023

Giữa Trần Tấn Quang Đạo  và Nguyễn Khắc Dũng

Ngay sau buổi cân kí, Chúng tôi đã phỏng vấn ngay võ sĩ Quang Đạo về việc anh đánh giá đối thủ kì này của anh như thế nào ?

"Tôi nghĩ đối thủ lần này của tôi là một đối thủ có sức mạnh trong mỗi đòn đánh và tôi đoán cũng sẽ là trận đấu khó khăn với tôi sắp tới, nhưng không vì vậy mà khiến tôi lo sợ đối thủ của mình. Cả tôi và anh ta đều đã có lời qua tiếng lại với nhau trên mạng xã hội trước đó và đã có xảy ra 1 chút va chạm trong buổi họp báo nhưng ban tổ chức đã can thiệp và không có điều đáng tiếc nào xảy ra. Tuy nhiên, tôi sẽ cố gắng cống hiến cho khán giả theo dõi trực tiếp một trận đấu mãn nhãn và trên tinh thần fairplay & respect".  

Với sở trường là tốc độ và tinh thần chiến đấu không khuất phục anh tin tưởng rằng mình sẽ là người chiến thắng vào trận đấu ngày 29/7

Nói một chút về võ sĩ Khắc Dũng anh đến từ Hà Nội tuy đã tập boxing được vài năm nhưng anh lại không có cơ hội thi đấu, vào tháng trước anh đã đối đầu với Minh Quân một võ sĩ giỏi nhưng rất tiếc vì anh không có thời gian để chuẩn bị tốt cho trận đấu đó.

Nhưng bây giờ hoàn toàn khác. Cơ thể của anh đã sẵn sàng để chiến đấu. Thể lực và kỹ năng cũng đã vượt trội hơn.

Đây là những dấu hiệu cho thấy. Trận đấu này dã rất nóng từ trước khi trận đấu xảy ra. Kết quả ra sao ? ai sẽ là người chiến thắng, sẽ được hai võ sĩ trả lời vào ngày 29/7 tại sự kiện VSP PRO 6.

VSP PRO TOMORROW NIGHT IN HCMC

Không giống như Boxing nghiệp dư, nơi vận động viên được trả lương bởi những đội tuyển tỉnh, thành phố hay quốc gia mà họ đang đầu quân tập luyện, cùng với số tiền thưởng dựa trên thành tích thi đấu, các võ sĩ Boxing chuyên nghiệp giống như những người kinh doanh tự do, mà sản phẩm ở đây chính là các trận đấu và hình ảnh của họ.

Trong đó, vai trò của các nhà quảng bá (promoter) là rất quan trọng.

Các nhà quảng bá - hay chúng ta vẫn thường biết tới với tên gọi những "ông bầu" có nhiệm vụ mang về những hợp đồng cho võ sĩ. Hiện tại, trên thế giới các nhà quảng bá sẽ kiếm tiền theo 4 cách chính sau đây.

- Tiền bán vé xem trực tiếp: đây là khoản thu dễ tính toán cụ thể nhất dựa trên giá vé và số lượng vé bán ra qua từng sự kiện.

- Tiền bản quyền truyền hình: tương tự như bán vé trực tiếp, các nhà quảng bá sẽ bán trận đấu cho các đơn vị phát sóng, thu phí từ các khán giả xem truyền hình.

- Tiền tài trợ - quảng cáo từ các nhãn hàng: khi võ sĩ xây dựng được hình ảnh và tên tuổi, nhà quảng bá sẽ tìm kiếm các thương hiệu có nhu cầu tài trợ, hoặc thuê võ sĩ làm đại diện hình ảnh, quảng cáo cho sản phầm.

- Tiền gửi võ sĩ thi đấu: các nhà quảng bá của võ sĩ sẽ kiếm tiền từ việc gửi các võ sĩ ra nước ngoài thi đấu. Lúc này, bên trả tiền là nhà quảng bá đối tác tổ chức sự kiện.

Thế nhưng, với thực tế ở thị trường Việt Nam, các võ sĩ đã có thể kiếm thu nhập từ 4 nguồn trên hay chưa? Liệu có trở ngại nào, từ chủ quan tới khách quan mà họ phải đối mặt để thực sự biến Boxing chuyên nghiệp thành một nghề nuôi sống bản thân hay không? Chúng ta sẽ cùng tìm hiểu với những kì tiếp theo trong tuyến đề tài về Boxing chuyên nghiệp của Webthethao.vn.

Boxers in VSP PRO

Boxing chuyên nghiệp đã không còn quá xa lạ với các khán giả Việt Nam trong những năm gần đây, với việc các đêm thi đấu dần xuất hiện nhiều hơn trong khoảng 2 năm trở lại đây.

Không chỉ còn là những cái tên sao số như Trương Đình Hoàng, Trần Văn Thảo... các võ sĩ phong trào, đội tuyển trẻ các địa phương đã có thêm những cơ hội thi đấu cọ xát với nhau. Cho tới hiện tại, sự khác biệt đã bắt đầu xuất hiện, Lê Tiến Đạt là một trong những cái tên thường xuyên thi đấu tại các sự kiện VSP Pro là những minh chứng rõ ràng nhất cho nhận định này.

VSP Pro 5 đã là lần thứ tư Tiến Đạt thi đấu với bộ luật 4 hiệp của Boxing chuyên nghiệp. Thay vì các tình huống "đồng nhịp" với đối thủ trong từng pha tấn công, Tiến Đạt đã dần có đủ thể lực để thích nghi với việc kéo dài thời gian cho những pha giao tranh với đối thủ, giúp anh có được lợi thế then chốt để giành chiến thắng.

Dù VSP Pro mới trôi qua những sự kiện đầu tiên, các tay đấm quen thuộc của sàn đấu Boxing chuyên nghiệp này đã cho thấy sự thích nghi với từng thay đổi nhỏ, qua từng trận đấu để có được những chiến thắng thuyết phục hơn. Dĩ nhiên, con đường của họ cũng như các tay đấm xuất thân từ Boxing nghiệp dư vẫn còn rất dài, bởi trước mắt họ là các trận đấu 6, 8 hiệp và thậm chí là các trận tranh đai kéo dài 10, 12 hiệp.

Việc xuất hiện tại những sàn đấu như VSP Pro đưa dàn võ sĩ trẻ của Việt Nam có một cái nhìn rõ ràng, tích lũy được những kinh nghiệm cụ thể hơn với bộ luật thi đấu nhà nghề. Cơ sở vững chắc để có thể phát triển sự nghiệp trong tương lai.

MARK JOHN YAP -  FULL FIGHT (VIETNAM)

**Courtesy of Cocky Buffalo Promotions

Cagayan de Oro son Mark John Yap dominates before a third round stoppage over Bangladesh boxer Hasan Sikdar.

Elorde boxer Yap was originally scheduled to fight a high level opponent here at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino, but injuries and other fight card changes meant that featherweight Sikdar stepped up at short notice.

Great job by the Bangladesh boxer to survive early, but Yap's relaxed ring control had his rival constantly on the back foot and under a lot of pressure.

Watch for the change of gears in round three when Trainer Jetro Pabustan tells Yap to put the foot down on the accelerator and put an end to it.

ENJOY  !

Ronnie Baldonado and trainer Jetro Pabustan have touched down in Tokyo in advance of Tuesday night's mega clash between Naoya Inoue and Stephen Fulton.

Baldonado, who many remember for giving Wonder Boy Carl Jammes Martin a torrid battle, takes on unbeaten Yoshiki Takei (6-0)

Takei is a bona fide killer - all 6 wins have come by knockout, but Baldonado is a mad dog with plenty of firepower of his own.

The match will take place at Ariake Arena in "the Monster" Inoue's hometown of Yokohama.

BOXING IS A BEAUTIFUL ART FORM

Congratulations

to VSP PRO boxing girl Ngo Ngọc Linh Chi who just picked up Gold in the National Youth tournament.

Linh Chi won the 48kg category for 17-18 years, and despite it being a talent laden weight class, she showed some really good skills that complemented her signature high workrate style of boxing.

The Hanoi based fighter showed huge potential with her successful debut at VSP PRO in February,  and it appears the sky is the limit for Ngo Ngọc Linh Chi.

LAMPTEY SHOULD BEWARE "THE BEAST"
July 21, 2023

LAMPTEY SHOULD BEWARE "THE BEAST"

Philippines veteran champion Richard Pumicpic was tagged with the moniker "The Beast" from earliest days :

"a kind of savage supernatural figure, but mostly he symbolizes the violence that potentially exists in the heart of every human."

And that is during the war. Afterwards, Pumicpic is all smiles.

The well traveled Richard Pumicpic will meet the outstanding and unbeaten Alfred Lamptey from Ghana this Saturday night in Dubai.

With 12 wins with 8 knockouts, Lamptey is regarded as a real prodigy in African boxing at only 21 years of age.

But does he have the necessary experience and ring guile to dominate a boxer like Pumicpic?

I seriously doubt it, and this hot prospect from Ghana will need to be on full bore once they let the Beast out of his cage this Saturday night.

ARGIE TOQUERO FACES OFF

ARGIE TOQUERO FACES OFF

India's Faizan Anwar (15-0) weighed in over at 151lb just now.

The Philippines Argie Toquero (13 wins) jumps a weight class tomorrow and registered 148lb on the scales.

Anwar has a very impressive record, but is yet to fight someone the calibre of an "in form" Toquero, so there is the potential for an upset tomorrow night in Dubai.

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI 12 SECONDS KNOCKOUT
July 17, 2023

NGUYỄN VĂN HẢI 12 SECONDS KNOCKOUT

*story courtesy VN Express

It took former national boxing champion Nguyen Van Hai just 12 seconds to take down the on-form Abdul Motalib of Bangladesh at the international boxing event WBO Global Prelude.

Before the lightweight (61 kg) fight on Saturday night, Mottalib was in great form with five consecutive wins, including two victories by knockout. Hai, who has won the national championship for 14 consecutive times, also had five wins in six professional fights.

At the official weigh-in before the fight in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province that borders HCMC, Mottalib tried to provoke Hai by standing in front of him and blocking his view during the press conference. But Hai kept his composure.

There was not much to say about the fight as 12 seconds in, Hai threw a powerful and staggering right hook that immediately floored Motalib. The referee stopped the fight and gave a knockout win to Hai. This is his third knockout win after seven professional fights.

AFTER THE ECHOES OF BATTLE ARE SILENT

AFTER THE ECHOES OF BATTLE ARE SILENT

Boxers work very hard, but so too do the gentleman that preside over the regulatory frame that keeps our sport vibrant and our fighters as safe as possible.

A big shout out to these four - Vietnam's Lim Song, the Philippines' Richard Clarin, Japan's Tsuyoshi Yasukochi and South Korea's Aaron Jang  - strident men who all share a unified vision of creating more opportunities for athletes in their respective countries.

A notable omission is China's Samson Lu,  who flew back early, but has been an invaluable and encouraging mentor to Vietnam boxing.

Congratulations

to this group. Yes, put your feet up and have a cold beer. It's well deserved  !!

Vietnam will miss you, and look forward to seeing you again and again. !!

Philippines fighter Mark John Yap was a recent visitor to VSP,  headlining our May event against a future star named Nguyễn Ha Minh.

That was Yap's first hit out since scoring a knockout win in Manila in January, and despite signs of ring rust, all the telltale signs of a very dangerous man were on show.

The Mindanao menace returns to Vietnam next week, and he has mayhem on his mind.

Do not miss seeing this great fighter in Vũng Tàu next week - there will be blood !

YAP CONTINUES THE "JOURNEY" IN VIETNAM

YAP CONTINUES THE "JOURNEY" IN VIETNAM

Mark John Yap has proved to be one of the best performed pinoys on the international circuit in recent years, and plans to add to his imposing record on the road in Vietnam this month.

The boxer affectionately dubbed "The Journey Man", and more recently as "Fat Yap", appears on a big show at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino, amongst a strong lineup of fighters from many different countries.

Yap was impressive in winning in Manila in January, then followed up with a three month break to welcome the birth of his first child Yuri. He has slowly worked back into fight shape, and performed in an exhibition bout in Ho Chi Minh City last month.

And it was trademark Yap !

Despite getting off to a slow start, Mark John Yap proved too physical for national youth boxer Nguyễn Hà Minh, dropping him twice in the final round.

Yap will be looking for an emphatic showing on July 15th, before eyeing off bigger matches later this year.

Getting opportunities to fight in international events is never easy, and if you're based in PNG, even more so !

Friends and supporters of Junior Kauko Raka, and believers in the great sport of boxing, assembled last night to celebrate his impending task in Vietnam.

Big thanks go to promoter Mr. Sang Bum Kim and friends at Cocky Buffalo for showing the foresight and faith in the PNG Prodigy  !

Also, massive thanks to the friends in PNG who really stepped up last night :

The Minister of Internal Security, and Governor of Bougainville HON Peter Tsiamalili Jnr. who took the lead to put in support by paying for the venue, and to kindly host the dinner fundraising.

And the support from these generous companies:

1- JOMIK Group Company

2- PANG Family

3- NCDC Sport Desk

4- NCDC Governor

5- PNG Sport Foundation

6- NCD Provincial Health Authority

Also, Junior Kauko Raka has a special shout out to his manager Betrand Vagelo and his admin Ezra Bonny, for making last night's celebration happen, for both him and the whole Raka team.

I'm optimistic that the combined efforts of all will pave the way for international opportunities for young PNG stars of the future.

Big congratulations to the people of Papua New Guinea for supporting great role models. Bravo !!
