“I’m very grateful for the opportunity to defend my WBC belts here in the United States as it’s been a long time since I fought here.” said Bronco Billy Wright. “Mauricio Sulaiman has been a man of his word, moving me up the rankings as I continue to win fights.  Right now I’m a #16, looking to crack the top 15 with this victory.  Against Domingos, I wanted to make a statement and end the fight early with a knockout.  The plan was to go in and land as many powerful body shots as possible.  It worked and I came out on top.  I’m going to keep marching up the WBC rankings with the goal getting a big fight against any of top contenders.  The problem is, none of these guys want to fight me.  I’m ready to take on all comers ahead of me.”

In addition, Bronco Billy recorded his 29th first round knockout.  One of his goal is to break the heavyweight record for 1st round knockouts held by Shannon Briggs which stands at 35.
