Indonesian boxers Sunan Agung Amoragam and Noldi Manakane are set to face Thai opponents at the Pattimura International Big Fight 2026 at TVRI Central Studio in Jakarta on Friday, 29 May 2026. Sunan Agung Amoragam will face Natha Phong Nuchap Hum in an eight-round non-title international super bantamweight bout (55.3kg). The 2018 Asian Games bronze medalist stated he has prepared well for the match. “I’m ready to fight,” Sunan said after the weigh-in on Thursday, 28 May 2026. The HS Ciseeng Boxing Camp fighter added he had studied his opponent’s style. However, Sunan is expected to face stiff competition. Natha Phong has seven wins, five by knockout, and eight losses. The Thai boxer has stated his aim is to secure victory in Indonesia. In another bout, Noldi Manakane will face Phirawat Panthong in the featherweight (57.1kg) division. The Kemang Fight Gym boxer expressed confidence in overcoming his opponent after reviewing Phirawat’s fight footage. Promoter Nikolas Johan Kilikily stated the event marks a chance to revive professional boxing in Indonesia, noting that the country has not hosted professional bouts featuring foreign boxers for a long time. “We haven’t held professional boxing matches involving foreign boxers for a long time,” Nikolas said, expressing hope that Sunan and Noldi would defeat their Thai opponents. Nikolas explained the event commemorates the 209th anniversary of Pattimura’s Day. Additionally, he aims to highlight the legacy of Ellyas Pical, the Maluku-born Indonesian boxer who became the country’s first IBF world champion. Nikolas stressed the need to revive Ellyas Pical’s spirit to produce Indonesian boxers capable of competing globally, adding his commitment to organising professional bouts, including plans for PABA and OBPF championships. FTPI Chairman Neneng A Tuty also affirmed the federation’s desire to sustain national professional boxing competitions, stating Indonesian boxers, particularly from Maluku, have the potential to compete internationally.
