Get ready for an electrifying night of professional boxing as the PNG Professional Boxing Control Board sanctions Oceania Fight Promotions’ (OFP) Independence Brawl 2025! This blockbuster event is set to take place this Saturday at the Hideaway Hotel in Port Moresby, showcasing Papua New Guinea’s finest boxers alongside two international fighters from Thailand.
A Platform for PNG Boxers
OFP’s managing director, Maryanne Millie, emphasized the event’s mission to empower local talent.
Our biggest motivation is creating genuine opportunities for Papua New Guinean boxers to shine on a professional stage right here at home.
Millie.
With limited exposure and income pathways often holding back PNG athletes, OFP is committed to building a sustainable platform that fosters career growth and elevates boxing as a respected professional sport in Papua New Guinea.
The Independence Brawl also offers local boxers a chance to earn match income, supporting their livelihoods.
Boxing demands years of training, discipline, and sacrifice. Seeing our athletes earn a living through professional bouts is one of OFP’s proudest achievements.
Millie added.
A Night of High-Energy Fights
This Saturday’s event promises intense matchups, blending local talent with international flair. Fans can expect a thrilling showcase of skill, determination, and heart as PNG’s boxers take on their Thai counterparts. The Hideaway Hotel in Port Moresby will be the epicenter of this action-packed night, drawing boxing enthusiasts from across the region.
Supported by Sponsors and Fans
The Independence Brawl wouldn’t be possible without the support of sponsors, partners, and the boxing community. From government bodies and corporate sponsors to venue partners and the media, their contributions make events of this scale a reality.
I must also thank the fans and the boxing fraternity for believing in what we are building. Their passion and support are the backbone of OFP’s success.
Millie
