The intense rivalry between Mika Ravalaca and Ubayd Haider, formerly known as Nathan Singh, escalated dramatically at the Bluewater Boxing Promotion event last Saturday.
Fresh from his trip to Australia that same afternoon, Ravalaca made a striking entrance into the ring, openly challenging Haider to stop avoiding their long-awaited matchup.
“He (Haider) is demanding $30,000, what is that? I am here to fight, this is my life,” Ravalaca declared, pointing to the canvas.
Haider, present in the crowd, quickly joined Ravalaca in the ring, resulting in a fiery exchange between the two. The situation intensified rapidly, leading referees and judges to intervene and separate them.
As Ravalaca was led out of the ring, Haider took the opportunity to speak to the audience, stating that a fight contract had already been sent to Ravalaca’s manager in Australia, urging him to accept the proposal.
“I know your manager Gus Wahab. We have sent him a contract, and we are waiting for his response. It’s all on you now. You gonna moce boy,” Haider responded to Ravalaca.
Haider had previously mentioned a $30,000 purse for the fight, further adding to the tension. Meanwhile, Ravalaca’s team indicated that they might reassess their position if Haider loses his IBO title bout scheduled for October, as Ravalaca prefers to avoid fighting someone who has recently lost.
This ongoing public back-and-forth only amplifies the excitement surrounding what could be a pivotal fight, as both fighters and their teams explore the details of this anticipated showdown.
