Karlos Vémola, Otakar “Marpo” Petřina, Samuel Krištofič, Miloš Petrášek, Václav Mikulášek, Jonas Magard and Václav Sivák. The Oktagon Underground tournament will be really interesting.
The O2 Arena will host quite possibly the biggest boxing tournament in the history of the Czech Republic, but Oktagon is definitely not taking the tournament as its peak and intends to keep moving higher.
“I would be a bad promoter if I didn’t have the ambition to top it. Considering that we have seven more tournaments this year. But I think socially and in terms of reach, it’s going to be hard to top that.
We can see it in the numbers and the kind of media coverage it’s getting. It’s extremely bubbling in society, everyone is talking about it and everyone will want to see it,” Ondřej Novotný said in an interview with iSport.
Novotny has been verbally sparring recently with Marpo, who will fight under the RFA banner at the end of the year. The Octagon promoter was particularly bothered by the fact that everything was announced before this tournament.
How does he currently view the RFA after hosting two tournaments? “I’m happy. They’re doing great, I would continue to do it,” he said. Whether he was being serious or sarcastic is questionable, but given his personality, one would expect option B to be correct.
