Owners and trainers at SMT Gym Mareeba Rosario and Salvatore Signorino are getting pumped up for their second ever local fight event this weekend.

After a successful first fight day at the SMT Gym at the beginning of the year, owners and brothers Rosario and Salvatore Signorino are pumped to invite fighters back to their ring theis Saturday 3 August. 

Since inception, SMT has travelled to fights across Australia, coming home with many accolades and this year, they hope they can secure more wins on home ground. 

Rosario said his team of nak muay were training harder than ever before, with star performer Bryan Wyborn scheduled to be the main event of the night. 

“He deserves it for the amount of time he has put into the sport in the past two years – he is really doing a good job,” Ros said. 

During his first home fight, Wyborn was dubbed the underdog. As soon as he entered the ring, he had the upper hand, taking out his opponent by knockout. 

There are already over 25 athletes confirmed from gyms as far south as Townsville, and many more still waiting for confirmation. 

Having so many nak muay in the one place in Mareeba is something Rosario is very excited for and hoped would showcase the talents of local fighters. 

“This is something we have been really looking forward to doing and this time we are excited to add more athletes to our line up,” he said. 

“It makes us really proud, and makes the fighters very proud, to get a chance to perform something that they love. 

“Hopefully we can have more fight days in the future, which will give more chances to our local fighters to perform, rather than going down south.” 

Weigh ins for the event start at 10.30am, with the event kicking off from 2pm. Tickets are available at the door for $5 each.
