An invincible perspective of the super medium weight Tommy Hyde
Published
1 year agoon
Melbourne, Australia -In his 10 professional fights so far the undefeated Irish perspective of the super medium medium weight Tommy “Governor” Hyde (10-0, 7 KO), currently preparing for his fight with April 11 in Australia, decided to fight only three times in his family Ireland, because he likes to travel.
25-year-old Hyde will face Anuara Mlawa (8-2, 4 KO) from Tanzania in an octa-like fight for “SLB Fight Night”, presented by Sam Labruny in Melbourne Pavilion. Hyde fans around the world will be able to watch his fight live http://streems.com.au/.
Before flying from the hometown of Cork in Ireland to Australia, Hyde gathered 47,064 both ways in the United States: Greater Boston, and once in Mohegan Sun, Uncasville, Connecticut, Redwood City, Kalifornia and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Add another 10,827 miles both ways to Cork to Melbourne and back, Hyde is really an Irish road warrior. And these almost 60,000 miles do not even include additional miles that traveled to many training camps in the United States and Great Britain.
Why fight in the middle of the world in Australia?
“I have many friends living in Australia and we knew that there was a huge Irish population,” Hyde explained. “So we decided to fight and build fans here. As an amateur, in places such as South Africa, Canada, America and Russia to mention only a few, but I never had the opportunity to fight in Australia. I am very much, for example.
Hyde competed in over 100 amateur matches. He was a 9-time national finalist, he reached the quarter-finals of World Junior Championships in 2015, he won the Hararingey Box Cup 2019 and is a 3-time gold medalist Celtic Box Cup.
“Wherever you are going in the world,” Hyde added, “you will find an Irish bar because the Irish people are everywhere. We support our own and do not matter where I am fighting, it seems to me that I receive brilliant support from local Irish people.
“I love traveling and I love to fight, so the possibility of making both during one journey is like hitting two birds with one stone. I get such a valuable fight experience around the world, and when I undertake on the world stage, I think that it made him stop well.”
Tommy’s father/manager, Gary Hyde, believes that his son’s experiences fighting all over the world will pay off in a not too distant future.
“I believe that fighting away from home will become Tommy when he fights in major fights,” said Gary. “He is not alien to great programs because he has participated in huge programs for nine years. The brighter the lights, the better it will work. He does not fight with the additional advantage of being in the main corner, which will also bring him benefits when he is in great fighting.”
Tommy Hyde is Irish Road Warrior!

Credit: Ben Roberts Photo/GettyFormer UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till is in hot water after a viral brawl outside a Liverpool pub.
Darren Till doesn't shy away from fights inside and outside the arena, as evidenced by multiple incidents throughout his fighting career. The former UFC fan favorite has made a name for himself after leaving Mixed Martial Arts, finding success in bare-knuckle and professional boxing.
In between fights, Till isn't afraid to push buttons on social media, getting into recent social media spats with current UFC fighters and boxing rivals. He's set to return to the ring against Yoel Romero in his Bare Knuckle FC return next month.
Till and bare-knuckle fighter Lee Browne have traded barbs on social media for weeks, with Browne calling Till a ‘s—house'. Browne has fought multiple times in the BKFC ring but hasn't fought since July 2025.
Till and Browne recently ran into each other outside of The Blarney Stone, an Irish pub, located in Liverpool earlier this week. It's safe to say their recent bad blood carried over into the streets.

As of this writing, neither Till nor Browne has issued public comment on the incident, and additional details on what led up to the brawl remain unknown.
Till parted ways with the UFC following a submission loss to Dricus du Plessis at UFC 282. He made his professional boxing debut last year against former UFC champion Luke Rockhold, earning a third-round knockout.

Ian Machado Garry reveals the 'only' person who deserves the next title shot after he becomes champ at UFC
Published
7 hours agoon
August 13, 2026Ian Machado Garry knows who he is fighting after UFC 330.
Garry is set to headline UFC 330 on Saturday in Philadelphia against Islam Makhachev for the welterweight title. Although the Irishman is a sizable betting underdog, he has full confidence that he will be able to dethrone Makhachev.
If he beats Makhachev, he doesn't think an immediate rematch will be next. Instead, Garry believes Carlos Prates will get the next title shot.
“Listen, I called him last week, we chatted about it but there is only one,†Garry said at media day. “There is only one person who has earned or deserves the title shot after this fight and it's Carlos Prates. All the other guys haven't done enough. Carlos Prates has earned it. Nobody else in the entire division has earned it. They all need to fight at least one more fight.
“Prates is coming off two fights against two guys that have never been finished and he did it in insane fashion. I whooped his ass for 24 minutes and I did it on three weeks' notice. So if he wants to give me three or four months [to get ready], he knows what's going to happen. He'll be able to sleep well after the next one.â€
If Garry does beat Makhachev, an immediate rematch certainly would make sense. But Garry believes Prates has earned the rematch and a title shot.
Ian Machado Garry open to Islam Makhachev rematch after UFC 330
Although Ian Machado Garry believes Carlos Prates should be next, he isn't ruling out an Islam Makhachev rematch. However, he thinks there won't be a need for a rematch after his performance on Saturday.
“I think let's focus on beating him once and then we can focus on beating twice,†Garry said. “But it all depends on the fashion. If I go out there and scalp him in two minutes, do you want to see me fight him again straight away? That's just the way it is. If we have a back and forth war like he had with Volkanovski, it probably would warrant a rematch.
“But also, there's many other challenges here that are exciting at the same time. Let's get through Saturday night, let's get the win and then we'll see in what fashion I get the victory and if there's a rematch on the cards. But I wouldn't be against it. I think he's earned enough to do it. But let's get through Saturday night first.â€
Garry enters UFC 330 with a record of 17-1 and is coming off a decision win over Belal Muhammad. It was his second straight win after he beat Prates by decision in a five-round fight.
Do you think Ian Machado Garry will beat Islam Makhachev at UFC 330?

Dmitri Ramos brings a boxer's mentality into a kicker's world at The Inner Circle 26

ONE ChampionshipA fighter who spent years outside the spotlight gets his introduction against one of the division's most dangerous veterans.
Dmitri Ramos makes his ONE Championship debut against PK Saenchai Muaythaigym's Gingsanglek Wor Kumchamnarn in a bantamweight Muay Thai co-main event at The Inner Circle 26, streaming live in Asia primetime this Friday, August 14, from Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium. The 26-year-old American built his case with Sor Dechapan on the Thai regional circuit, highlighted by a third-round spinning elbow finish of veteran Phet Uthong Or Kwanmuang in a rematch after an earlier loss.
Ramos leans on boxing as his foundation, the first striking discipline he ever learned, and he views it as the clearest technical edge he holds over a kicker of Gingsanglek's caliber.
“I do think Gingsanglek's kick is more dangerous than Phet Uthong's. Gingsanglek is a cannon. So I have to treat his weapon for what it is,†he said.
Dmitri Ramos banks on pressure and pace
Ramos believes his conditioning gives him a real edge if the fight extends into the later rounds, betting that his forward pressure and work rate will eventually wear down the more experienced Thai veteran.
That patience-and-pressure formula has become the calling card of his rise from an overlooked regional prospect to a ONE Championship debutant with real expectations attached.
“I know my gas tank is better. I've seen him fight. My boxing, I know I have the technical advantage with my boxing. I'm gonna make him drown. Take him to the deep waters in the third round,†he said.
Ramos has said he expects one of two scenarios to unfold: an early finish from either man given their shared power, or a grinding battle where his pressure becomes the deciding factor if Gingsanglek survives the opening exchanges. Either way, he arrives believing his moment has finally come.
