LOU DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment (DBE), has appointed Australian boxing agent Brendan Bourke to represent DBE in the Asia Pacific region in search of new talent.

DiBella and Bourke intend to sign quality fighters that will resonate with an American television audience.

“Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region have a tremendous amount of promising talent and championship caliber fighters,” said DiBella. “I am thrilled to bring in Brendan Bourke as we establish ‘DBE Downunder’ to seek out the best fighters from that area and introduce them to the American market. Announcements on which fighters are signed will be forthcoming.”

Be interesting to see who Brendan & Co. can dig up in this neck of the woods.
At one stage Brendan and Ippy were all starry eyed hoping to miraculously turn Mark de Mori into a world champion heavyweight.
And we all know how that turned out. :doh: :lol:

They have had a mixed run when you consider these guys were all in their stable at one time or other :

Evans "The Dancing Man" Quinn - who ended up committing a murderer.

Mostyn Niemann - who won his first 6 fights, fought for the Australian title in his 7th and then went AWOL.

Damian Hooper - wayward at best and has already done jail time.

Lucas Browne - who has twice tested positive for banned drugs.

Mark de Mori - Australian boxing's preeminent cherry picker

Junior Fa has signed with Lou DiBella and been added to Wilder v Washington card

DiBella Entertainment (DBE) is thrilled to announce the signing of highly touted undefeated New Zealand heavyweight prospect Uaine Fa Jr., otherwise known as Junior Fa (9-0, 6 KOs).

He will make his US debut on February 25, in Birmingham, AL, underneath Deontay Wilder's world heavyweight title defense. This is the first signing since DBE has brought in Australian boxing agent Brendan Bourke to seek out the best talent from the Asia Pacific region.

Born Auckland and now living in Papakura, Fa is 6'5" and averaging 270 pounds, with exceptionally fast hands. At 16 years old, he was inspired to take up boxing by his father, a former amateur boxer himself. As an amateur, Fa was the 2009 New Zealand National super heavyweight champion, a gold and silver medalist at the Oceania Championships in 2010 and 2012 respectively, as well as a bronze medalist at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. He also owns two amateur wins over current WBO heavyweight champion and fellow New Zealander Joseph Parker.
