Michael, 22, who trains out of the Cowra PCYC under former Norwegian amateur boxing champion Hakon Berg, showed plenty of potential in his first bout.
Michael dictated the fight from the bell in an excellent display of dominance, resulting in the judge intervening early in the final third declaring Michael the winner through technical knockout.
The fight consisted of three, two minute rounds.
His thorough preparation revolved around technique and skill which provided Michael with the perfect platform to begin his career with plenty of confidence.
Michael later received a trophy for fighter of the night, marking a well deserved achievement for the amateur boxer, Hakon Berg and his training facility at Cowra PCYC.
Michael will continue training at the Cowra PCYC.
