STEVE IRVINE vs BIG BAD RALPH 💥🥊 Back in 1993 on an early Tarik Solak promotion, heavyweight action hit hard and fast when Steve Irvine took on the mysterious “Big Bad Ralph” in a wild first-round shootout. Steve Irvine, a massive human trained under respected coach Dave Hedgecock, was part of the tough Australian heavyweight kickboxing scene that was exploding in the early 90’s. Darren Hedgecock himself had fought world-level competition during the golden era of kickboxing, making Steve part of a serious fighting lineage. Big Bad Ralph, trained by GM Jamal Hassan, remains a mystery to many fight fans today. Some believe this may have been one of his only appearances or possibly a fighter competing later in life. If anyone from the Fightrewind1 community remembers Ralph or has more information, drop it in the comments 👊 The fight itself didn’t last long. A few heavy punches were all it took before the action was stopped in the opening round. Pure early 90’s heavyweight chaos.
