Within 2 years time, D1FC has become the biggest muaythai event promoter in Borneo and with D1FC – R.I. it is taking a step further in making it’s name in the national & regional South East Asia level. D1FC – R.I. will go down history as the 1st event in Malaysia being sanction by World Muaythai Council ( WMC ). This is certainly a great achievement as WMC only sanction one event per country. It will also has the privilege to be the 1st muaythai event in Malaysia carrying WMC new logo.
Certainly a great start towards being the ultimate muaythai event in Malaysia.
The organiser Dihnar Group and Persatuan Muaythai Kuala Lumpur, has put up a really stacked fight card. It’s gonna be explosive!
8 title fight will be competed and another 4 bouts of Superfight to statisfied all fight fans.

Warriors of Borneo manage to grab some time off the busy schedule of Ir.Hj Nazri Razak, the Managing Director of Dihnar Group for an interview :
Greetings from Warriors of Borneo Tuan Hj Nazri. Wishing you a wonderful Hari Raya Aidilfitri
First of all I want to congratulate you for being elected as the new Presiden of Persatuan Muay Thai Negeri Sabah and thank you for making time for this interview.
Looks like Muay Thai is gaining popularity in Sabah and with your leadership I believe you will bring it up to another level.
OK Sir, let me begin the interview
I can see that you are promoting D1FC Rhino Invasions heavily with billboards & banner.
How is the response for tickets so far?
Very good and selling out fast!
D1FC just got the recognition from World Muaythai Council (WMC) thru Malaysia Association.
We have also world title belt in total 4 numbers of fights for title belt and 4 numbers of title belt for D1FC Belt.
As a Corporate person running Dihnar Group of Companies, why do you choose to promote MuayThai? why not other martial arts?
As a Group Managing Director for DIHNAR Group and CEO for D1 Fighting Championship, I am fully promoting the muaythai sport as first of all, in Sabah we are far behind from Peninsular in Muaythai event. The Sabah Muaythai Association was just about 4 years in Sabah. I take this advantage to proof that Sabah is not far behind compare than Sarawak and also peninsular.
As a President of Sabah Muaythai Association.. I take this responsibility to grow this sport for Sabahan as a platform to go international. I work closely with my company as I think that from doing this…. we can easily get a win-win situation in many ways.
Yourself Tuan Haji,… have you practice MuayThai before? or any other martial arts?
Silat perhaps?
Frankly speaking, i have no muaythai background or any other combat sport but i love to watch the combat sport.
As D1FC is growing , it’s D1FC fan base is also incresing rapidly and we have to support more activities in Malaysia so that the event will be bigger from time to time. And again… a road show event will take place in Sabah respectively. One thing is the hub of flight because the fighter is coming from everywhere in the world.
You are bringing many international fighters to Malaysia for D1FC, how were you able to do this?
We have link and contact and we have also our scouting team as our match maker for fighters. But it is not easy actually.
So far, we thank you to all goverment such as Kementerian Belia dan Sukan Negeri Sabah and Majlis Sukan Negeri Sabah, Sabah Tourism Board and Ministry of Tourism Sabah for recognise and supporting all the time since our 1st event.
At the moment, we know that Sabah has started a bit late… but from this platform, we are able to compete other fighter from outside already. This is proof from our 6th event previously.
How many events are you targeting to organise per year?
About 4 events in a year
Yup, we are considering from now on for live streaming especially for our fans all over the world. Will keep you inform, check out our FB page to remain posted
Personally which fight are you looking forward to?
What is the role of Dihnar Boxx Arena?
You also support the local martial arts scene, such as JFL and the Karabaw team in MIMMA.
Do you plan to promote other martial arts in the future?
Yup as long as it’s combat sports and football.
What is your aspiration or objective for D1FC?
