The reigning champion, The Crazy Hawaiian, is ready to defend his belt in a highly anticipated rematch against Dumpling at Power Slap XI in Saudi Arabia. With a leaner frame, sharper focus, and renewed energy, he promises fireworks for fans tuning in on fight night.
Training Camp and Weight Loss Journey
The Crazy Hawaiian has been hard at work preparing for this showdown, fine-tuning his speed and strength while shedding over 50 pounds since his last bout.
“I’m more ready than I’ve ever been. People are going to see a real difference in my speed, accuracy, and focus. It’s been a tough camp, but I’ve overcome a lot, including sickness and family issues. That’s the heart of a true champ.”
Losing the weight has been no easy feat, but he’s confident it will pay off in the rematch.
“I feel a lot lighter and faster. Everything’s on point. This wasn’t an easy camp, but I pushed through it all to ensure I’m the best version of myself.”
Lessons Learned and Adjustments
In their first matchup, which ended in a draw, The Crazy Hawaiian admits he might have let the crowd’s energy distract him. This time, he’s laser-focused on Dumpling.
“Last time, I focused too much on the crowd. I love connecting with the fans—it’s part of the entertainment business—but this time, the game plan is to knock Dumpling out cold. I’ll stay locked in and adjust on the fly if I have to.”
The Crazy Hawaiian also hinted at some new strategies he’s been working on, though he’s keeping those close to the chest for now.
The Challenge of Fighting Abroad
With another international trip on the horizon, The Crazy Hawaiian is no stranger to competing in far-off lands. He acknowledges the unique challenges of travel but is excited about returning to the Middle East.
“The hospitality in Saudi Arabia is amazing. People look up to me like I’m a superhero, especially the kids. That’s why I do this—to inspire and be a good role model for kids around the world.”
This time, he’ll have his brother by his side, a rare but cherished opportunity.
“It’s going to be fun spending time with my brother in Saudi Arabia. We’ve only fought on the same card once before, so this will be special. It’s something I’ll always cherish.”
Game Time: Late Night Start
The main event kicks off at 8 PM local time, a later start than usual. But The Crazy Hawaiian says he’s more than ready to adjust.
“I’m a natural night owl, but traveling across time zones is always tricky. In Abu Dhabi, I finally got my sleeping schedule on point the day before the fight. I’ll make sure to do it right this time.”
The Crazy Hawaiian’s Iconic Walkouts
The Crazy Hawaiian has always been a showman, but his walkout in Abu Dhabi—complete with a Bible and a kandora—turned heads.
“Yeah, I walked into a Muslim state carrying a Bible. One guy even said, ‘Man, you’re brave,’ and I was like, ‘That’s right.’ I might do it again, but I’m also open to learning about their culture and beliefs. It’s about curiosity and respect.”
A Message to the Fans
As always, The Crazy Hawaiian promises nothing but excitement for his fans.
“You guys are going to see the best version of me yet. This is going to be fireworks. Let’s go, baby!”
