Unbeaten Billy Quinncroft forced to fight his mate for the Australasia cruiserweight title

Billy Quinncroft set for cruiserweight title clash at Thunderdome 53: "I’m ready to make some noise!"

Friday the 13th of March, Dragon Fire Boxing hits the Metro City Arena for the first time this year for Thunderdome 53 with a stacked card.

One of the main events of the evening features undefeated Billy “Big Bosh” Quinncroft (4-0, 2 KOs) as he takes on “Big Lewis” Clarke for the Australian National Boxing Federation Australasia cruiserweight championship over eight rounds.

Quinncroft's Western Australia State title and the Interim cruiserweight championship will be on the line as the punching pals fight for bragging rights to see who is the top cruiserweight in Australasia.

Quinncroft discussed his relationship with counterpart Clarke, “Lewis is my mate and I’ve got a lot of respect for him. He’s tough and he is a technical fighter, that’s why this fight will be a cracker.

“But once that bell goes, friendship stays outside the ropes. We’re both here to prove something, and I know he’ll bring his best. I will be well prepared for exactly that.”

“I've levelled up my training, massively,” Quinncroft enthused. “I've just changed gyms to Big Rigs gym and it’s the best thing I've done in my career, I'm going in strong and fit.

“I'm excited and I'm ready to go!”

He added, “This title fight is massive. To be only four fights in and just over a year into my professional career is crazy when you really think about it. It’s an honour to fight for this belt, especially knowing the big names who’ve held it before. I’m grateful for the opportunity, but I’m here to add my name to that list.”

“This year is about levels. Bigger fights, bigger moments, and constant growth. I’m locked in, I’m hungry, and I’m ready to make some noise.”
