Rolando Dy and Ahmed Amir (BRAVE CF)
Filipino fighter Rolando Dy has challenged Egyptian contender Ahmed Amir for his next fight in BRAVE Combat Federation.
Dy, the son of Filipino boxing legend Rolando Navarrete, did not take Amir’s past action well as the Egyptian, who was supposed to fight lightweight world champion Amin Ayoub, was sidelined due to injuries.
But Amir surprisingly made an appearance at the cageside and exchanged a heated conversation with Ayoub, who scored a unanimous decision win over Mashrabjon Ruziboev in BRAVE CF 50 last April 1.
“I called out Amir on social media because he is acting like a clown. In my opinion, he doesn’t deserve the title shot, yet it was given to him. I respect that, but the thing is that he backed out in his fight for the title. Then he showed up at the event, acting tough and acting like the champ,” said Dy.

Filipino fighter Rolando Dy yielded to Kyrgyz foe Abdisalam Kubanychbek in the main event of BRAVE CF 47: Asian Domination at the Bahrain National Stadium in Riffa Thursday night (early Friday morning, Manila time).
Kubanychbek, who remained undefeated in BRAVE Combat Federation, scored a technical knockout win through a corner stoppage in the world lightweight title eliminator to move one step closer for a crack at the belt.
The 26-year-old Kubanychbek now awaits the winner between current champion Amin Ayoub of France and Ahmed Amir of Egypt in BRAVE CF 50 in April.
