UPDATE: Three weeks after his comprehensive points win over Wade Ryan at Metro City, Luke Sharp is back in action on a joint MMA and boxing card in Bunbury on July 12.

The middleweight, who took his record to nine wins, one loss and two draws, takes on Steven Ma at the Eaton Centre.

The show is headlined by super-featherweight teenager Nathaniel May, whose trainer Peter Stokes is the promoter.

A week later on July 19 May's new promotional team, CDL Boxing, have their own card at the WA Italian Club.

Robbie Bryant is back for the first time since his Australian middleweight title loss to Dennis Hogan last December. Bryant (18-3-1) takes on Brisbane's Dean Mikelj (10-1).

Former women's world champion Erin McGowan, unbeaten lihgtweight Clint Hosking (9-0) and former Commonwealth Games competitor John Squillace are also fighting.

Squillace's gym stablemate Sam Hogan (6-0) is the main event on Dragon Fire's next Thunderdome show on August 1.

Hogan dug deep to win a six-round grueller against Daniel Durham at Metro City on July 20, the same night Brandon Ogilvie turned on the style against John Min.

Ogilvie will be looking to chalk up a third win in three months on the Thunderdome show.
