"Wasiru brings the kind of ferocity and finishing ability that energises fans and builds champions," said Dave Bishop, founder of Bishop Boxing Promotions. "We're committed to providing him with the platform, resources, and matchups to propel him back into title contention and worldwide recognition," he added.

John Manfo, Co-Manager and President of Fight Ready Promotions, commented: "Wasiru's aggressive style and resilience make him a must-watch fighter. Teaming up with Bishop Boxing Promotions gives him the strategic support he needs to advance his career and take on high-profile opponents."
