Manchester, United Kingdom — Filipino combat sports pride Rolando “Dy Incredible” Dy once again proved that the Filipino fighting spirit belongs on the world stage after successfully defending the BKB World Super Welterweight Championship at Mayhem in Manchester. 

Dy is represented by PEN ONE Digital Corporation through its integrated sports marketing subsidiary, PenOne Sports, a Philippine-based sports and commercialization company that transforms audience attention into scalable business opportunities through sponsorships, digital platforms, live experiences, media distribution, and performance-driven brand partnerships, while representing some of the country’s premier leagues and sports properties and its combat sports division, PenOne Combat, focused on developing and managing world-class combat sports athletes and properties. 

Representing PenOne Combat and the Philippines, Dy delivered a commanding performance against former world boxing champion and Brooklyn boxing legend Paulie Malignaggi in front of a packed crowd in Manchester, England, showcasing relentless pressure, precision striking, and trademark toughness throughout the bout. 

From the opening rounds, Dy controlled the pace of the fight, forcing exchanges and showcasing the aggression and composure that have made him one of the sport’s most respected names. The Filipino champion’s power and pressure eventually proved too much, leading to a dramatic finish that sent a strong message to the division. 

The victory further cements Dy’s place as one of the premier bare knuckle fighters in the world  and one of the few Filipinos to capture and defend a recognized world championship in the rapidly growing global bare knuckle scene. 

For PenOne Combat, the win represents more than just another championship defense. 

It is a statement that Filipino athletes can compete  and win  at the highest levels of international combat sports. “Rolando continues to embody what Filipino fighters are all about courage, heart, discipline, and world-class talent,” said PEN ONE Digital Corporation President, Carlos Campa. 

“This victory is not only for him, but for Philippine combat sports and every aspiring Filipino fighter dreaming of making it globally.” Dy’s successful title defense adds another milestone to an already accomplished combat sports career that has seen him compete across multiple international promotions and disciplines. 

Now holding firm atop the BKB super welterweight division, Dy continues to fly the Philippine flag proudly on the global stage  proving once again why he is truly “Dy Incredible.”
