Petalcorin’s Australian based manager Peter Maniatis states “l first saw Randy “Ultratune” Petalcorin Fight on the Brian Viloria vs Carlos Tamara world title undercard in January 2010 in Manila when Randy was only 18 years old and I signed a deal with him basically after that fight to co-manage him in General Santos City with Jim Managquil. My plan was to always bring Randy Ultratune to Melbourne so he can train and fight under Mick Hargreaves BoxingFit gym as his trainer.”

“l am lucky that I had the support of CEO Ultratune Sean Buckley to have Randy fight at Malvern Town Hall in Melbourne, Australia in November 2013 and March 2014, it was a buzz for the local boxing industry to see a potential superstar like Randy fight at the Malvern Town Hall” Maniatis said.

According to Maniatis “l really think Randy “Ultratune” Petalcorin can win 3 World title in 3 different weight classes by the time he finishes with his boxing career he has everything to be a superstar of the sport.”
