Premium 2003: DYNAMITE !! Update

December 31, 2003

 Nagoya Dome, Japan

K-1 has announced two more fights for their year ending DYNAMITE!! event. We were pleasantly surprised

to find out that former boxer Frans Botha will be fighting K-1 veteran Yusuke Fujimoto and not former

boxer Shannon Briggs. Also, K-1 veteran Jan "The Giant" Nortje (6' 11' - 300+ lbs.) will take on

Pro-Wrestler/Rings veteran Masayuki Naruse (5' 8" - 190 lbs.). That just leaves an opponent to be named

for Shannon Briggs.
