The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino will be the focal point of the best fight action Asia has to offer this Saturday night.

The headline event is the WBO Global bout between China's Zhu Dianxing and Thailand's Yotboon Sanchai over 12 rounds.

The China star was recently in Vietnam, where he totally dismantled top local Sam Minh Phát, and took his superb record to 10 wins with only one loss.

The main undercard bout is of huge interest to Vietnam fans, as it marks the return of "Trigger" Tran Van Thao to the squared circle.

Thao is Vietnam's best performed professional, winning 15 of his 16 bouts to date, and he looks to make his first match in over a year a memorable one. Trigger takes on tough Mexican Kenbun Torres, and when we say that, we are recommending that TOUGH and MEXICAN be made into one word ! Torres is dangerous too - in his 12 wins, 9 have tasted the canvas.

The other bout of note for Vietnam is the match between fledgling boxer Thai Hoang Huy and Botswana talent Moabi Ngaka (pictured).

Former Muay Thai student Huy turned to boxing only this year, yet has already picked up 4 wins and  scored  2 knockouts for the highlight reel.

African visitor Moabi Ngaka is known as "The Eagle" and at first glance, it's easy to see why. Ngaka is very tall and rangy, and likes to attack his prey from range.

This Botswana boxer has won two gold medals in national youth championships before turning pro, so he will have the experience edge over his very willing Vietnam opponent, but this has the makings of a really interesting fight.

"Ho Tram RUMBLE" will boast 6 great fights, with the action getting underway around 6.30pm.

"The Trigger" Tran Van Thao brought the big drama show to The Grand Ho Tram today, showing attitude in a feisty face off with granite Mexican Kenbun Torres.

Six great fights are scheduled for Ho Tram tomorrow night, with the highlight being a WBO Global title contest.

Vietnam's Thai Hoàng Huy will be the other home team representative, and he battles Botswana former amateur star Moabi Ngaka.

‍

Botswana boxer Moabi "the Eagle" Ngaka touches down in Ho Chi Minh City next week, and aside from blazing hands, brings something for the record books with him.

Ngaka will appear at a top quality international show to be held at The Grand Ho Tram Resort next Saturday night, and in doing so, will be the first African pro boxer to fight in Vietnam.

The Eagle will take on local prospect Thai Hoang Huy, a boxer who has been rewarded for his escalating performances in the VSP PRO series, where he attained a 4-1 record.

His lone loss was a debated split decision, so Huy could easily be 5-0 in the stats.

But the Botswana visitor represents a big jump in class for the HCMC based prospect.

Moabi Ngaka has had over 60 amateur fights, winning 3 gold in national youth, and silver and bronze at senior level.

His pro record is 4-1, and last year, he won the WBF  super bantamweight title in a fantastic 12 rounds display over the incumbent champion.

The fight next week in Vung Tau is a "MUST WIN" for the African boxer, who has been promised a title shot in Maun Botswana on December 15th if he is successful against Thai Hoang Huy.

Ngaka has been out of the ring for almost a year now, and only time will tell if that will play any part in his performance against a less experienced but feisty Vietnam fighter.

(If you wanna Rock'n Roll)

One of Ho Chi Minh City's most popular boxers returns to next Saturday night for the 9th installment of the very popular VSP PRO.

Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long has perhaps been one of Saigon's unluckiest boxers with injuries, and he resumed from a very long break at VSP PRO last July.

In what was meant to be a "soft" return to the sport he loves, Long was unfortunate to lose his debutant opponent at the very last moment.

Not one to avoid a challenge, Long accepted the monumental task of being matched with in form national team star Nguyễn Hà Minh.

Long showed lots of great signs in his comeback fight, before being caught by his top class opponent late in the bout.

Next Saturday night, Long meets Binh Duong youngster TRƯƠNG HẢI BIỀN in what should be a cracking bout. Long definitely possesses the experience edge over his taller and rangier rival, and it will be interesting to see if he is able to keep this young gun on a tight leash.

One thing for sure, Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long is a real crowd pleaser and he will definitely be throwing bombs however long the battle lasts.

This event is made possible by the sanctioning of the Vietnam Boxing Organization, who are the regulator of professional boxing in Vietnam.

VSP PRO 9 - Saturday October 28th   Starts 6pm

Lương Nguyễn Công Khải is one of the best known names in Vietnam boxing, yet the Quảng Ngãi fighter vanished from the sporting landscape for close to 3 years !

Khải was highly regarded on the local scene, even winning a HCMC title, but years of training took a toll on his body. He decided enough was enough, and ended up having surgery to deal with his chronic shoulder pain, and also his restricted power and movement. But whilst the surgery was deemed a success, there was an extensive period of rehabilitation to endure.

These were long hours of constant stretching and strengthening, and finally Khải knew it was time to put his shoulder to the test. He entered the ring for the first time in three years back in August - a VSP PRO match against former youth champ Truong Ngo Gia Huy  - definitely no easy task for your first time back in the ring !

The match was excellent, and despite some ring rust and being slightly short of fitness, the Killer showed many qualities of his former self. At the end, the judges could not seperate the two fighters, and declared it a draw, but it was very obvious that Khai would soon be a force to be reckoned with.

And as if it was scripted, the KILLER returns next Saturday night for VSP PRO 9. He is matched up against DƯƠNG ĐỨC BẢO - a southpaw from Max Fight club in HCMC who will be making his professional debut. The reports are extremely good on this boy, and his team are confident they can keep Khải out of the winner's list for a little while longer.

But based on what we saw in August, and knowing  the level that Lương Nguyễn Công Khải was at before he was injured, this may be a big task for Bao.

EXPECT TO SEE A KILLER UNLEASHED NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT !

It was a really nice foreign debut for Phan Minh Quân in Korea last Sunday.

Quân took on unbeaten Uzbekistan boxer Sirochbek Ismoilov  - a former amateur champion and national team member.

Vietnam had plenty of good touches, and despite a narrow loss, served it up to the Uzbek champ.

Great quality fight, and Phan Minh Quân will COME BACK STRONGER !

‍

VSP PRO has unearthed lots of unheralded yet talented fighters so far, and our next installment on Saturday September 30th promises to continue the trend.

One of six boxers that will make their debut is 52kg firebrand Lê Ngọc Minh Khoi - a 22 year old boxer who always looked destined for the pro ranks.

The solidly built Dong Nai fighter has actually been around boxing since he was a kid, and even achieved a bronze medal at the nationals back in 2014. But his come forward and aggressive style always beckoned the professional format, and as destiny has it, the Team Manny boxer will make his long awaited first appearance at the VSP Gym in two weeks time.

Khoi will take on Pham Lê Gia Huy of the Khang Anh Martial Art Club in HCMC, and for sure, this will be a hell fight between two very fiery combatants making their debuts.

‍

VSP PRO has already showcased some excellent boxers this year, and what has been most exciting, is the improvements that many of the Vietnam fighters have brought to the ring when they have competed more than once.

But the man known as "Kong" - Le Hoang Hiep -  is one Vietnamese fighter that really stands out !

After suffering a "controversial" loss early this year, Hiep has been simply outstanding since scoring two electric wins at VSP PRO.  And there are all the positive signs that this fan friendly boxer is sure to win many more in the near future.

Hiep works with former World ranked super middleweight Ben Mcculloch in this video at VSP Gym.

Thái Hoàng Huy thắng điểm tuyệt đối trước Phạm Minh Thắng tại sự kiện Boxing chuyên nghiệp VSP Pro 6!

Hiệp 1: Tốc độ nhập cuộc rất nhanh và chỉ sau hơn 10 giây Thái Hoàng Huy đã có cú móc phải rất nặng trúng mặt khiến Phạm Minh Thắng loạng choạng. Sau gần 2 phút, Hoàng Huy tiếp tục có tình huống ép Minh Thắng vào ring và tung ra combo đòn khiến đối thủ suýt ngã xuống sàn.

Với lối đánh có phần "hoang dã", thiếu kinh nghiệm, Minh Thắng còn dính một đòn móc trái rất nặng. Thậm chí cuối hiệp 1 Minh Thắng trong một tình huống hớ hênh còn lĩnh trọn cú upper-cưt trúng vùng cằm. Suýt chút nữa đã có tình huống thắng knock-out cho Hoàng Huy.

Hiệp 2: Minh Thắng có pha ra đòn trúng đích đáng kể ở giữa hiệp nhưng tổng thể anh vẫn không tạo ra sự thay đổi nào đáng kể nhằm thu hẹp chênh lệch về thế trận. Hoàng Huy vẫn cho thấy tốc độ, kinh nghiệm và kỹ thuật ra đòn toàn diện hơn.

Hiệp 3: Thể lực của Minh Thắng bắt đầu suy giảm và Hoàng Huy đã dồn ép đối thủ vào ring liên tục tung ra những đòn hook và body-shot.

Có thể thấy nỗ lực tìm cách dứt điểm trận đấu bằng những cú upper-cut của Hoàng Huy và rất may mắn Minh Thắng mới trụ vững.

Hiệp 4: Hoàng Huy bất ngờ giảm tốc bằng những đòn jab cơ bản nhằm hạn chế sự hưng phấn và nỗ lực vùng lên của Minh Thắng. Và dù là đòn jab cơ bản thì Hoàng Huy vẫn ghi điểm khá tốt.Và trước khi kết thúc trận đấu Hoàng Huy vẫn kịp ghim đòn tay rất nặng trúng mặt đối thủ.

Kết quả: 40-36, 40-36, 40-36. Thái Hoàng Huy thắng điểm tuyệt đối, qua đó đánh dấu trận thắng thứ 3 sau 4 lần thượng đài ở chuỗi sự kiện VSP Pro.

Nguyễn Hà Minh thắng knock-out kỹ thuật trước Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long!!!

Hiệp 1: Đòn tay sau, móc trái và combo đòn 1-2 rất nhanh và hiệu quả của tay đấm trẻ Nguyễn Hà Minh đã giúp anh tạo ra sự khác biệt rõ rệt với đối thủ Lê Nguyễn Hoàng Long. Dù có 1-2 tình huống đấm trúng mặt đối thủ nhưng chất lượng đòn của Hoàng Long vẫn chưa tốt. Không khó nhận ra sự vượt trội của tay đấm đang thuộc biên chế đội tuyển boxing quốc gia Hà Minh.

Hiệp 2: Hoàng Long chủ động áp sát và có đòn móc phải trúng đích khá tốt. Tuy vậy ngay sau đó Hà Minh đã giữ khoảng cách và có đòn móc trái khiến Hoàng Long chuệch choạc tư thế. Bước vào phút thi đấu cuối cùng Hà Minh tăng tốc dồn ép và liên tục ra đòn buộc Hoàng Long vất vả chống đỡ. Rõ ràng Hà Minh rất muốn tìm thấy đòn knock-out ở thời điểm này. Rất may cho Hoàng Long khi anh vẫn trụ vững.

Hiệp 3: Sau chừng 30 giây thi đấu, trong pha đổi đòn ở giữa đài Hà Minh đã có cú đấm tay rất mạnh trúng cằm Hoàng Long và võ sỹ này đã ngã xuống. Một đòn đấm rất nhanh, chuẩn xác giúp Hà Minh giành chiến thắng knock-out đầu tiên ở sự kiện VSP Pro #6.

MIndanao's boxing legend Mark John Yap is showing no signs of slowing, and will be back in the ring again at a big international event in Vietnam next month.

Yap considered retirement after returning from Japan, which was shortly followed by the pandemic - but was coaxed to lace up one more time in a WBA Title match with Charly Suarez.

His performance was outstanding,  and he followed it up with two quality wins shortly after.

The Journey Man was on a short break since January, after welcoming the birth of baby daughter Yuri, and he put on some kilos in that time.

Yap has been on a six week training camp, and competed in an exhibition bout last month with Vietnam youth team member Nguyễn Hà Minh. Despite looking "rusty" early in the match, he dropped his opponent twice in the final round to etch an impressive victory.

Having just recently arriving in Manila, Yap has been under the tutelage of Jetro Pabustan, who put him through a pads session today.

Mark John Yap will fight at The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino in Vietnam on Saturday July 15th. You can watch the match here live.

Congrats

to VSP boy Nguyễn Văn Hải for a polished performance in Ho Tram against the Chinese power puncher Xiao Tao Su on Saturday.

BÀ RỊA - VŨNG TÀU

Võ sĩ Nguyễn Văn Hải bất ngờ thắng cao thủ Trung Quốc Su Xiao Tao bằng điểm trọng tài tại sự kiện quyền Anh quốc tế WBO Chapter 3.

Màn so găng giữa Văn Hải với Su ở hạng Light Weight được quan tâm nhất trong loạt sáu trận của sự kiện quyền Anh quốc tế tại The Grand Ho Tram Strip tối 22/4.

Văn Hải từng sáu lần vô địch quốc gia, nhưng vẫn bị đánh giá thấp hơn Su - tay đấm nổi tiếng của Trung Quốc từng giữ hai đai vô địch IBO Châu Á Thái Bình Dương và đai WBO Châu Á hạng cân Super Featherweight. Võ sĩ Trung Quốc cũng dày dạn kinh nghiệm hơn khi thắng 11 trong 13 trận chuyên nghiệp, trong đó có 6 trận thắng bằng knock-out. Văn Hải mới có bốn chiến thắng, trong đó có một bằng knock-out, qua 5 trận chuyên nghiệp.

Hai võ sĩ đều nhập cuộc thận trọng và chỉ tung ra các pha tấn công thăm dò. Văn Hải chủ động hơn trong di chuyển cũng như tung ra những đòn đấm thẳng. Phải đến cuối hiệp một, hai võ sĩ mới có một số pha ra đòn đáng chú ý.

Sang hiệp hai, Văn Hải tung ra những đòn móc sở trường rất nặng. Đáp trả lại, Su thể hiện đẳng cấp bằng một combo đòn nhuần nhuyễn và hiệu quả vào người đối thủ. Võ sĩ người Trung Quốc chủ động di chuyển áp sát, nhưng sớm phải nhận liên tiếp những pha trả đòn rất nặng vào đầu từ Văn Hải.

Với kinh nghiệm từng giúp bản thân giành hai đai vô địch châu Á, Su liên tục dồn ép Văn Hải vào dây đài. Sang hiệp ba, võ sĩ Trung Quốc ra một đòn đấm nặng trúng đầu, khiến Văn Hải choáng váng. Thế trận sau đó trở nên khá cân bằng và nặng tính chiến thuật.

Bước vào hiệp bốn, Su liên tiếp ra đòn tốc độ, nhưng Văn Hải di chuyển tốt, tránh được hầu hết các đòn thế từ đối phương. Dù vậy, võ sĩ của Trung Quốc vẫn tỏ ra nhỉnh hơn trong hiệp đấu này nhờ lối đánh khôn ngoan và kinh nghiệm.

Ở các hiệp đấu tiếp theo, Su vẫn giữ thế chủ động để gây sức ép. Nhưng dưới sự cổ vũ cuồng nhiệt của khán giả nhà, Văn Hải lên tinh thần, phản đồn mạnh mẽ với một loạt cú đấm chất lượng trong hiệp bảy. Võ sĩ Việt Nam giữ đà này để chơi tốt ở hiệp cuối, và được xử thắng bằng điểm trọng tài hai trong ba trọng tài chấm Văn Hải.

Bên cạnh chiến thắng của Văn Hải, võ sĩ 26 tuổi Phạm Hữu Thương cũng có màn trình diễn ấn tượng trước đối thủ Trung Quốc Zeng Yujie ở hạng Super Flyweight. Trước trận đấu này, Hữu Thương bị đánh giá thấp hơn khi Zeng có gần 30 trận chuyên nghiệp, trong đó có 11 chiến thắng và ba trong số đó là thắng knock-out.

Võ sĩ Việt Nam nhập cuộc tự tin, tận dụng ưu thế về sải tay và chiều cao để tung ra những đòn đấm thẳng rất tốt. Ngược lại, Zengh phòng thủ rất chặt chẽ và có được một số đòn móc trái phản công khá lợi hại. Hai võ sĩ liên tục phô diễn kỹ thuật bằng những đòn tấn công đa dạng suốt trận so tài. Chung cuộc, trọng tài chấm điểm hòa cho cả hai võ sĩ.

Ở trận đấu khác, Song Chan Ho (Hàn Quốc) thắng knock-out Min Saeng Bak (Thái Lan) sau năm hiệp ở hạng Super Lightweight. Võ sĩ 17 tuổi mang hai dòng máu Việt Nam và Hàn Quốc Lee Ju Yeong (mẹ là người Việt) thua knock-out trước Bayarkhuu Ganbaatar (Mông Cổ) trong hiệp đầu.

Kim Gun (Hàn Quốc) thắng điểm Tenorio Romeo (Philippines) sau sáu hiệp. Một đại diện khác đến từ lò Cocky Buffalo, Mikhail Lesnikov (Nga) thắng điểm trước đối thủ người Trung Quốc Zhang Xian Hai.

76-76  77-75  77-75

THE RISING STARS

The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino Vietnam

Saturday April 22nd

DUONG TO BATTLE PHILIPPINES CHAMP ?

Vietnam's premier fighter Nguyễn Văn Duong hasn't seen much ring time since the Olympics, and will make a return for the SEA Games in early May. But his lack of recent competition has many wondering if the Bac Ninh boxer still has what it takes to fight at the highest level.

Philippines champion Mark John Yap will visit Vietnam in May for a training camp, and former 3X OPBF titleholder is open to working with the local talent while he is here.

A winner of 32 professional fights, Yap tore the heart out of Japan's feared Bantamweight division,  going unbeaten in 10 fights over a 3 year period. His most recent fight was in January of this year, where he jumped two weight classes and knocked out former Manny Pacquiao sparring mate Leonardo Doronio.

Asked whether he would be open to an exhibition bout whilst he is in Vietnam, potentially against a killer like Nguyễn Văn Duong, the Philippines star smiled and said :

" Sure, why not, it sounds like a lot of fun ! Let's make it happen !! "

Philippines boxer Romeo Tenorio is rumoured to fight in Vietnam this month, with a bout against South Korean Gun Kim in the offing. The match will be in the 115 lb class, and will be Tenorio's first since October last year, when he beat Julias Bala by unanimous decision. Gun Kim is a fighter of promise, with a 2 win 1 loss career record.

Vietnam's most experienced fighter Nguyễn Văn Hải is set to take on China's Yongcai Liu in the Lightweight 61kg category.

The VSP Boxing star from Hanoi has won 4 bouts since turning professional, and is hoping a win against his Chinese opponent will fast track him in the rankings.

Yongcai Liu is a winner of 6 fights, but has not been active since the pandemic,  so it will be interesting to see what level he is at. The Chinese boxer showed a lot of ability earlier in his career, where Top Rank sponsored him to go to America and learn with their boxers and training staff.

The match will be over 8 rounds and will be the main undercard at The Grand Ho Tram on Saturday April 22nd.

Here is Nguyễn Văn Hải's last fight at Ho Tram in December 2022, where he knocked out unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan.

Ben Ligas put on a masterful boxing display in Pangasinan yesterday to keep the RP National Flyweight title in his grasp.

"The Sniper" took on the outstanding Genisis Libranza, a winner of 20 of 21 bouts, and he didn't disappoint.

Libranza threw hard questions at Ben Ligas from the opening bell, but a cool head and excellent shot selection by the incumbent champ was enough to secure a unanimous decision in the eyes of the judges.

Ligas is pictured post fight with top bantamweight and coach Jetro Pabustan.

SUAREZ CAPTURES FOUR BELTS

story courtesy BoxingTalk.com

Australia’s undefeated indigenous boxer Paul Fleming is on a mission to win his next three fights and set up the opportunity to capture a 130-pound title. After years of low activity (three fights since the start of 2019), Fleming's next step takes place in St. Marys, Sydney on March 15th when he faces undefeated Filipino challenger Charly Suarez. Fleming comes from the small town of Tully in outback northern Australia where he first started boxing at age 12 in 2001.

Fleming (29-0-1) finds himself carrying on the tradition of past Australian indigenous boxers such as Aboriginal boxing legend Lionel Rose who unified the world titles (1964-76), superstar rugby league players and champions of the boxing ring Tony Mundine and his son Anthony Mundine Jr., Dave Sands inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame as “the greatest boxers never to have won a world title”, 2005 world champion Robert Peden, Wally Carr, who competed in six divisions over a stellar fifteen-year career, and Daniel Geale who won two titles before losing to Gennady Golovkin at Madison Square in 2014.

While Fleming takes  confidence from his unbeaten streak, he accepts as “a matter of fact” that he has been ignored on the international stage. “By now I should have become a world champion. I see it as the way of the boxing world, and the cards didn’t fall my way. But I feel my destiny is in the winning circle, as the coming world champion.“

As for Suarez (14-0), Fleming says, “Suarez, like me, hasn’t been beaten. This is where our paths come together – here in Sydney – and I am ready.”

The left-handed Fleming said he won’t be underestimating Suarez, who is 34 years old and almost 4 inches shorter in size. “All my fights have been about fighting with a winning strategy,” he asserts. “If Suarez comes at me I have a counter punching strategy, and if he stays away then I will come at him.”

Fleming has spent several months sparring with top Aussies, including the Maloney brothers. “Neither of us held back while sparring.” he said after some competitive rounds with Andrew Moloney.

But Fleming knows that the window is closing for him to win a world title. "What’s been so good for me in boxing is that I have not been beaten, not once. I haven’t been bashed, and I have gained a lot of experience. I’ve fought against the best in Australia and now it’s time to break out and take on the best in the world... after this the world title will be one big step closer.”

Set to be Australia's very best fight of 2023.

The match up of the Philippines and Australia's two unbeaten champions.

Paul "Showtime" Fleming 28-0 goes head to head with the King's Warrior Charly Suarez 14-0 for the IBF, WBC, WBA and IBO belts.

Arnel "the Silencer" Baconaje goes to war with Presco "the Iceman" Carcosia in General Santos City for the RP National Super Featherweight title.

Lagao Gym, General Santos City

Sunday February 26th

Philippines star Charly Suarez heads to Australia next month to take on the unbeaten local champion Paul Fleming (28-0)

Suarez was an acclaimed amateur, and despite a relatively recent transition to the pro ranks, the King's Warrior has already racked up 14 impressive wins.

And identical to Fleming, the Davao fighter also retains an unbeaten record.

But what seems astounding about Suarez is that, for a boxer with such a wealth of amateur experience, he has improved markedly since turning pro.

So much so, he actually appears to be an even better prospect at the longer round format.

That said, Suarez was touted as the "next big thing" when he decided to finally go pro, and here is some ringside action taken from the first professional performance of Charly Suarez.

He shows all that dynamism that he is renowned for, and it will give you some insight as to what Australia will be getting come March 15th.

Friday training at Elorde Southbox , and there were three really good ones in the ring today !

King's Warrior Charly Suarez, MMA prospect Ian Batoto, and the Silencer Arnel Baconaje engaged in light sparring for upcoming bouts.

Baconaje heads to GenSan this week for a crack at the Philippines national belt on Sunday February 26th.

Charly Suarez has a big assignment if his own. He heads to Sydney very soon, where he will challenge Aussie #1 Paul Fleming for four major belts. A win places Suarez in the world top 10 with three of those, and perhaps makes him mandatory for both IBF and IBO world titles.

Exciting fights coming up !

Arnel Baconaje was recently in Vietnam at VSP Gym prepping for a December match with Vietnam  champ Dinh Hong Quân.

That was a bout in Ho Tram for the IBF Asia Lightweight title, and despite the match being above his usual weight class, Baconaje and Quân fought an extremely close battle.

The Philippines man revered as "The Silencer" returns to the ring in General Santos City (the former home of Manny Pacquiao) on Sunday February 26th. And this time, it is another big fight.

Baconaje takes on the "the Iceman" Presco Carcosia (10-2 9KO) for the Philippines national championship at Super Featherweight.

The weight class will be more favorable this time, but he faces a seriously skilled and fast opponent in Carcosia, so it should be a great main event.

VSP are big admirers of Arnel Baconaje, who always prepares well and turns in excitement filled performances, so we wish him luck in pursuit of the Philippines title next Sunday.

The King's Warrior Charly Suarez is ready to take on Australia's best, and heading for a world title.

Charly Suarez (14-0) v Paul Fleming (28-0)

Wednesday March 15th  Sydney Australia

This is genuine BEST v BEST !!!!

"Charly Suarez, your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to take down undefeated 28-0 Australian champion Paul "Showtime" Fleming, and bring back the WBC, WBA, IBF and IBO belts. All of them !

In doing so, you will do your country a great service, and you will go to top 10 in the world, and become mandatory for IBF and IBO World titles. You will also become the likely target of Liam Wilson, the first man to drop Emanuel Navarrete.

This message will self destruct in 10 seconds.

Good luck Charly "

Mark John Yap opened his new year account in stunning fashion, scoring a stoppage win over what appeared to be a very good version of Philippines Lightweight Leonardo Doronio.

Unable to secure a suitable 130 opponent for his first hitout of the year, Yap opted to jump a weight class and get a physical exam with the vastly experienced and durable Doronio.

It was very noticeable at the weigh-in, that aside from being the much larger boxer, Leonardo Doronio was in the best physical shape that he has been in for a very long time.

And he performed very well, while it lasted, and we look forward to seeing Doronio back again this year to see what he can produce.

But for Mark John Yap, it really was a patient yet lethal execution of a necessary task, and certainly showed shades of the brutality that he inflicted on Japan's best fighters prior to the pandemic.

Watch the full fight here, and you will see this dog has got a bite worse than his bark.

Yap Yap !

Paul Fleming has questioned the experience of Liam Wilson's team after the younger man's controversial world-title loss, saying he would never have let the weigh-in go ahead.

And the ageing super featherweight says he will not be a "rebound fight" after being called out following Wilson's gut-wrenching defeat in Phoenix.

Wilson has appealed against the decision in his loss to Emanuel Navarrete, keeping alive slim hopes of a rematch after footage showed a 27-second allowance - almost triple the traditional count - when the Australian floored the red-hot favourite in the fourth round.

The rank outsider, in his US debut, also weighed in about 2kg lighter than expected in a bizarre lead-in drama that had Wilson's camp threatening to boycott the WBO title fight after claims of cheating.

Wilson was eventually stopped in the ninth round on Friday by a resurgent Navarrete, who became a three-division champion and improved to a perfect 11 wins in world-title fights to set up a lucrative blockbuster with fellow Mexican Oscar Valdez.

"I would have said, 'No way, these scales aren't right' and stopped it then and there and requested another set of scales," Fleming told AAP of the weigh-in drama in which Navarrete came in narrowly under the 59kg limit.

"I guess that's just inexperience."

Keen to capitalise on a profile boost after scaring the likely future hall-of-famer, Wilson has called out Fleming for an all-Australian blockbuster.

But Fleming (28 wins, one no result) fights at the same weight, is world ranked by rival bodies the WBA and IBF and is quickly rebuilding his following in a late-blooming career.

If the 34-year-old beats impressive Filipino Charly Suarez (18-0) on March 16 in Sydney he will move closer to an overdue title shot - but potentially further from a duel with WBO favourite Wilson.

He just got his shot at the world title," Beijing Olympian Fleming said.

"I'm nearly 35 and still haven't had mine, so it's the Suarez fight first and then I'm not going to fight Liam for his ego or a rebound.

"I only want fights that'll move me closer to a world title.

"If it is one of those, then 150 per cent let's do it; we've been calling for it and it's a bit funny now it suits him he's calling it out."

If the pair continue to diverge it could mean they only fight to unify different world-title belts.

"Liam's very dangerous very early, but from what I've seen he loses his way (in the later rounds)," Fleming said.

"He's got a good left hook, but that one shot ain't going to work fighting me.

"I'm more elusive; you've got to have more in your repertoire."

Le Hoang Hiep took a dive in the deep end when he took on the Philippines Jetro Pabustan last December.

Despite jumping some weight classes, the rumored Russian gang member was confident he could handle the former WBO World title contender, and true to his word, he delivered a great all action display.

Baby Kong will return to the ring for VSP PRO this month, and as usual, he is immodest about his prospects.

"Please get me the address of my opponent's parents, I will send an apology note and flowers.

Sorry for the ass kickin' It was just all business. Signed Baby Kong!"

Anton Maglinte stars in one of the early bouts at Monday's REVOLUTION event in Parañaque.

The Manila based southpaw takes on debutant Raizen Jay Dela Fuente, a fighter with lots of amateur experience.

Maglinte comes into the contest with two fights under his belt, and despite those being defeats, it's notable that he did some good things against promising boxers Noriel De Chavez and Carlo Diaz.

Both of these bouts were highly competitive, and it will be interesting to see what improvements that "Pretty Boy" Maglinte can bring to his stoush with Dela Fuente.

Claudevan Sese was a late inclusion for the upcoming REVOLUTION event at the expense of the injured Giovanni Escaner.

Sese already looks in demonic shape, and at 128lb, is only 6lb away from the super bantamweight limit of 122lb.

That's 6lb, and we are 6 days out. Easy work !

Philippines' greatest boxer Charly Suarez recently secured the IBF Asia belt, and by defeating Indonesia’s top rated Defry Palulu (WBC Asia champion) he was elevated to #8 in the world ranking by the International Boxing Federation.

Suarez has progressed through the professional ranks at breakneck speed, winning 14 in a row, and picking up WBA, IBF and RP National belts in the process. He is also now ranked at #4 in the latest OPBF rankings.

Suarez will look to defend his IBF title, and was originally mooted to meet Japan's top rated Super Featherweight Yoshimutsu Kimura.

Kimura was viewed as a solid offensive fighter with poor defense, and not a serious challenge for Suarez. This viewpoint proved accurate when Kimura was knocked out last week in a non title bout in Tokyo.

The focus has now moved to a fighter that VSP are a huge fan of - the unbeaten Australian champion Paul Fleming.

The proud indigenous prodigy dubbed "Showtime" has an amazing record of 28 and 0 with 18 knockouts,  and brings an electric brand of high octane energy to the ring that fans just love.

Fleming also holds IBF, WBA, WBC and IBO regional belts, and like the King's Warrior, is gunning for a world title shot.

Sounds perfect !

Check out Charly Suarez and all the VSP Promotions fights at :

Jackson Jon England and Paul Fleming are two of Australia's elite 130lb fighters, and what shaped up as a great fight on paper, ended up bringing the roof down !

These two champions threw the kitchen sink at each other for 10 consecutive rounds, earning them "Fight of the Year" status in Australia.

The win propelled former Olympian Paul Fleming to 28 and 0, and bestowed  him with WBA, WBC and IBF regional titles.

Interestingly, there is another very talented 130lb fighter in the Philippines by the name of Charly Suarez, also a former Olympian, and a recent winner of the IBF Asia belt.

He sits on 14 and 0, and despite his relative inexperience as a professional, the King's Warrior casts a simple message across the oceans:

"MR. FLEMING, WE ARE READY. LET'S GET IT ON!"

Life throws us some challenges. Whether you think it is fair or not, the reality is the same.  You either get up and continue or you blame others for the misfortune and give up.  If you choose to get up and fight, you will know what champions decide to do each and everyday.  You become a champion when you rise to the challenges despite the pain.  Have a good week ahead.

Jetro "the Silent Operator" Pabustan is looking sharp and ready to start the new year with a "BANG BANG" this month in Manila.

Jetro, a former regional belt holder and WBO world title contender, is working overtime and looking towards bigger opportunities in 2023.

"I know I can be a champion again, and I would love to get the chance to fight for a world strap once more.

I truly believe I am a better and stronger boxer than I was before. In 2O23, if any good offer comes  I will be ready!"

‍

Cagayan de Oro and the hills of Bukidnon are fabled for producing some of the best fighters ever seen in the Philippines.

Mark John Yap has been an outstanding international performer in recent years, most particularly in the tough playgrounds of Japan where he won 8 on end and picked up three regional belts.

The CDO prodigy has been working hard over the new year (pictured here with another top boxer and CDO boy Joseph Ambo) in preparation for the UKC REVOLUTION event at the end of this month.

Yap put on an exemplary display to beat Papua New Guinea's best Junior Raka, before starring in an exhibition series in Vietnam in December. Lack of fight opportunities during COVID conspired against the Mindanao boxer, but it is rumoured that he is already in great shape for his first hit out for 2023.

And a word of advice for any upcoming opponents of Mark John Yap  - this dog is a different breed, and the bite is way worse than the bark !

Nov 3, 2018 #VSP organized the first #Victory8 event in Ho Chi Minh city.  

At the time, there was very little information available of Vietnamese boxers (not even on YouTube). We were searching high and low for local boxers. Then DJ Duy suggested a retired boxer named Truong Dinh Hoang. We couldn't pronounce his name so started to call him TDH and gave him a ring name "The King" to make it easier to remember.  We were worried how a retired Amateur boxer would do against a hot young professional boxer from Australia.  

Our worries quickly faded at the weigh in!  

The moment when TDH walked up to @mateo.tapia, we knew this would be a great fight!  

.

Mateo Tapia who was 20 years old at the time is now undefeated #1 in Australia with 15wins (9KO), soon moving to the US to pursue world titles.  

TDH has since become a WBA Asia Champion on our 3rd Victory8 "Legends of Hoan Kiem".

This good looking Korean boy is only 19 years old, but already racked up 9 straight professional wins, including 5 KOs.

He is fearless and rapidly improving with every fight.

His trademark is that he is exciting to watch, as he is eager to constantly engage, and he is not afraid to take chances with big power shots!

Already ranked No.3 in Korea, it won't be long before his name is listed amongst the champions. He joined our last event Fortunes of War on Dec 10, 2022 @thegrandhotram and we would love to have him in our future matches.

Last night in Vietnam, Philippine Army enlisted personnel Charly Suarez won the IBF Asia title with an impressive but unfortunate victory.

The King's Warrior boxed just two rounds with Indonesia’s champion Defry Palulu and undoubtedly looked all class and set the scene for a spectacular battle.

Unfortunately, in the second round, southpaw Palulu suffered some eye damage that required the ring doctor to stop the fight.

Charly Suarez is now confirmed ruler of Asia, owning both the WBA and IBF belts.

Before joining the Army's regular duty in July 2022, Private Suarez was a reserve Staff Sergeant, as may be remembered.

Private Suarez was named WBA Asia's Boxer of the Month for March 2022. Suarez competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics in Brazil and won gold medals in various boxing events at the Southeast Asian Games in 2009, 2011, 2019, and 2022.

His coach is army reservist 1st Lieutenant Delfin Boholst.

Attitude and personality goes a long way, and Vietnam young gun Le Hoang Hiep has these attributes and much, much more !

The audacious Hiep will jump 3 weight classes this Saturday and tackle Philippines Jetro Pabustan head on.

Anyone who knows the character of Vietnamese people, knows that they love to be challenged, and this Saturday, Hiep gets to go and try 4 rounds in the lion's cage with the Silent Operator  !

Young Blood will very definitely need to bring his very best KING KONG to the ring at Fortunes of War.

Jonjon Estrada was recently ranked #1 in the Philippines for Featherweight division. Listen to his experience and what he thinks about Vietnam and the upcoming fight.

VIETNAM XMAS IS COMING, AND SO IS CHARLY SUAREZ!

Watch out Vietnam, the King's Warrior is in town and ready yo rumble !

Charly Suarez is in Ho Chi Minh City training at VSP Boxing Gym and will be headed to the beach of Ho Tram this coming Thursday.

The Philippines best boxer will contest his first international match, an IBF Asia contest against Indonesia’s top dog Defry Palulu.

Defry has a superb 25-2 record and is a former WBC Asia champion.

Both fighters are confident of victory.

FORTUNES OF WAR

The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino

Saturday December 10

Vietnam boxing's "go-to" man DJ Duy is making a comeback to the ring after a long lay off.

The 4 and 0 boxing personality has only got a short preparation time available for his December 17 return, and was fortunate to get some rounds in yesterday with visiting Philippines fighter Aljum Pelesio.

Pelesio is a top prospect based in Parañaque Manila, and has already amassed an 11-2 record against quality opposition.

The sparring took place at VSP Boxing gym in Ho Chi Minh City, where five other Philippines boxers are training for the Fortunes of War event in Ho Tram next Saturday.

Charly Suarez, Arnel Baconaje, JonJon Estrada, Mark John Yap and Jetro Pabustan will feature in bouts at the picturesque beachside venue The Grand Ho Tram on Saturday December 10.

The Hanoi Hitman Nguyễn Văn Hải will arrive in HCMC and train with the Philippines team prior to heading to the Fortunes of War in Ho Tram.

Hai will meet the unbeaten Indonesian Paisal Panjaitan in what will definitely be one of the highlight bouts of the night.

FORTUNES OF WAR

The Grand Ho Tram Resort and Casino

Saturday December 10

Hanoi boxer Nguyễn Văn Hải competed in his first match in almost 3 years this past August. In what was viewed as a welcome back contest in Manila for Hai, he came away with a points loss, and a bagful of "what if" scenarios on his performance. The end result was a steely resolve to make amends for that defeat as soon as possible.

Nguyễn Văn Hải is very likely the most experienced mixed fight form exponent in Vietnam, and he returns to his love for boxing on December 10 at the Fortunes of War show in Ho Tram.

Hai was a highly decorated amateur in younger days, having won multiple national titles and achieving medals at the SEA Games. In spite of those successes, the revered Hanoi legend has had precious few chances to box in recent years.

Hai was intent on embarking on a pro career back in 2019, and signed with VSP to pursue that ambition. The pandemic put the brakes on those plans, and unfortunately, Hai did not see any ring time until August of this year.

Nguyễn Văn Hải ventured to Manila to take on rangy southpaw prospect Jerald Into, and despite incurring a points loss, it was a decent display for a boxer with lots of ring rust. The Vietnam fighter certainly showed many of the trademark moves of his amateur days, but his distance, timing and punch volume were below the required level. But he actually looked very good, and it will no doubt be a vastly improved, and perhaps vengeful, boxer that returns to the ring at The Grand Ho Tram on December 10.

This boxer dubbed  "the Hanoi Hitman" will look to reverse that loss in Manila, and he will be determined to teach his whiz kid Indonesian rival some veteran tricks of the trade !

4 rounds  Lightweight 61kg

Vietnam legend Nguyễn Văn Hải will take on hot unbeaten Indonesian boxer Paisal Panjaitan  (3-0) at the beachside venue of The Grand Ho Tram next month.

Hai resumed from a very long break for a points loss to the promising Jerald Into, but is sure to be in devastating shape for this Vietnam bout.

Paisal Panjaitan has scored one knockout and two easy points victories in his three wins, and will be looking to make a statement in his first international bout.

HUGE FIGHT !

Action live from The Grand Ho Tram Strip Vietnam

Saturday December 10

Arnel "the Silencer" Baconaje is Vietnam bound, and he has only one objective on his mind.

To defeat the man known as the "Black Hawk", Vietnam's Lightweight champion Dinh Hong Quan, and return to his native Philippines wearing his IBF belt.

Cocky Buffalo prospect Quan has successfully defended the IBF belt twice already, and whilst they have been hard fought bouts against quality pinoys, it is also fair to say that the young Vietnam boxer is still making technical improvements with each challenge.

He is also getting bigger and stronger.

But the Silencer has no interest in any of that !

As its equally fair to say that he is far more experienced boxer than the two previous opponents of Dinh Hong Quan, and is more definitely more skilful at landing meaningful punches. The Philippines boxer from Iloilo has landed 11 knockouts in his 15 wins.

This is a classic main event, where based on experience, the Philippines Arnel Banconaje is the man to beat and would start a solid favorite.

But you can't rule out the Black Hawk, as he just keeps improving and rising to each new challenge.

If you're a Vietnam fan and haven't seen Baconaje before, check out some of his bag work from late last week. Crisp and precise.

He will be looking to clip the wings of the Black Hawk on December 10.

JonJon Estrada and Yushi Fujita make weight in Osaka Japan earlier today.

Fujita is a tall and rangy fighter with 9 wins, and like most of his countrymen, is strong and durable.

But Estrada carries the Equalizer, that being the sleeping pills he confidently holds in both hands, and owning a long history of violence, having "slept" 14 opponents in his 15 wins !

This is a great match up because Fujita likes to trade, and this may play directly into the sharpened claws of the man known as THE WOLVERINE !

‍

Cagayan de Oro boxer Mark John Yap returns to Manila on Monday to ramp up preparations for his impending clash with Papua New Guinea hard man Junior "the Prodigy" Raka.

Yap had been on the international circuit for many years prior to the pandemic, and local fans have really been deprived of seeing his  superb skills on home soil. His appearance at the BATTLEFIELD show next month is a huge coup, because Yap had only performed twice in the Philippines in recent history.

After a highly successful stint in Japan, which culminated in 3 OPBF titles, Yap returned briefly to his native Mindanao in 2019. While he was there, he took on the really promising fighter Ulysses Lagos, a bout that he won by impressive KO in front of a big crowd in CDO.

Yap was not seen again in the Philippines till August this year, where he engaged in a WBA belt clash with the unbeaten Charly Suarez. This was a really superb performance by Yap, and despite losing on points, endorsed that he is still at the top of his game.

It was anticipated that no matter who Mark John Yap matched up with this October, it would be a "stay busy" assignment, possibly a soft win, but then the PNG Prodigy Junior Raka threw his hat in the ring!

Raka is of short stature and powerful, and typically PNG warrior stock,  a real tough SOB! And the man has skills too!

Junior Raka has accepted this challenge at really short notice, more so, he asked for it! It is super impressive stuff in a sport where many are constantly hiding out.

VSP Promotions can say emphatically that NO ONE WANTED TO FIGHT MARK JOHN YAP, so that gives you some insight to how highly regarded "the Journeyman" is at home.

But reputations count for nothing once you are in the ring and touch gloves, so DO NOT  MISS THIS BOUT!  Fireworks !

Rabi is a former amateur standout, who is now 7 and 0 as a pro, and if you think Cubans lack pop, think again! The dynamic punching Rabi has put 6 of his victims away by knockout !

Fans of Toyogan know that he boasts plenty of firepower of his own, and combined with a great chin, he is sure to give Armando Rabi a huge challenge.

This is a spectacular fight, and as good as the Cuban is, Philippines' Toyogan is a real live dog!

This is genuine 50/50 !

Congratulations to our friend Virgel Vitor on his recent WBO Oriental title win.

Vitor scored a spectacular round 3 KO of Thailand's Arnon Yupang to secure the belt.

The Bohol fighter, known as Valiente, was a World Team member at the VSP Promotions Victory8 event held in Hanoi in late 2019. Vitor fought a superb battle with Vietnam Team's Nguyễn Văn Gioi in front of a crowd of 25,000 people, and it was obvious from his performance that night that he had a very big future.

Well done on your victory Virgel, and wishing you further success in your path ahead.

Former smart amateur Donald Laurejas makes a short turnaround when he takes on debutant Jess Mike Malaca this October in Parañaque.

Laurejas made a solid debut in August, getting a decision over a vastly improved Marlon Bacolando. He showed some nice touches in that fight, and looked excellent when he used his height and reach to advantage. It is fair to say that the more experienced Bacolando applied good pressure in that contest, and Laurejas will definitely improve significantly from that bout.

BATTLEFIELD UKC has some really promising young fighters on the card, and you can include Donald Laurejas in that group. He has sparred with some big names prior and subsequent to his debut, and has handled the pressure extremely well. Expect to see a vastly improved performance when this young man steps into the ring on October 23rd.

One of Manila's hottest prospects has just signed up to BATTLEFIELD UKC Tiger 2O22!Antonio Uy was an amateur standout before going pro earlier this year.This Elorde trained fighter hasn't put a foot wrong since, going 2 and 0, and both by way of stoppage. The execution and confidence displayed in his wins was that of a much more experienced boxer, and beckons bigger challenges in his future.

The great news is that this quicksilver attacking weapon known as "Crossman" will step into the BATTLEFIELD on October 23rd.Antonio Uy is definitely one of the most exciting prospects in the Philippines right now, and we will be looking to match him with a more seasoned opponent to test his mettle.Get to Parañaque next month and watch the Crossman do his thing. We guarantee that you will be quite amazed at the speed, accuracy, and power, that this kid possesses.Updates on an opponent for Antonio Uy, and any other new troops destined for the BATTLEFIELD, coming soon !

Team Suarez says the work never stops, and whilst they have lofty world title ambitions, their immediate focus is October 23rd in Parañaque City.

"We know we have lots of work to do to achieve our goals, and we are very grateful to get opportunities to fight good opponents for belts as we look to improve." said the King's Warrior Charly Suarez.

"Carlo Magali has been a big name in Philippines boxing for a long time, and he has also beaten some top guys that he wasn't expected to beat. So, we don't underestimate this boxer!

We are preparing for a war, as we expect that Magali will be trying for a brawl. He will be looking for the knockout. We will be smart, but are ready to fight fire with fire!"

Charly Suarez and Carlo Magali will be fighting for both the RP national and WBA Asia Championship belts.

Suarez is leaving nothing to chance in his world rankings surge, yet Magali has a style that has previously thwarted the plans of more heavily favoured opponents.

BATTLEFIELD UKC TIGER 2O22

Elorde Sports Centre Paranaque Manila Sunday October 23rd

WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IS D'HAMMER ! Every opponent starts to look like a nail !

RoyRoy Sumugat had his first fight for 2022 in Manila last month, and it wasn't served up easy!

He encountered the vastly improved Jufel Salina, a boxer that brought to the ring an impressive work rate delivered with lashings of power, and it ensured the resuming Sumugat had nowhere to hide.

But the man dubbed D'HAMMER passed  his return exam with flying colours!

Breaking news is BIG ROY is back, and is the latest to join a host of gladiators at the

BATTLEFIELD UKC Tiger  2022 !

FIGHT CARD COMING SOON!

Yes - Claudevan Sese will be on the card!

Jerald Into went 5 and 0 when he out hustled Vietnam's Nguyen Van Hai recently. Hai is a former national champion and SEA Games medalist, so the bout was a marked step up in class for the rapidly improving fighter.What's next ? Hmmm....The word is strong that Jerald Into will be appearing on a huge Suarez v Magali undercard on October 23rd at BATTLEFIELD UKC Tiger 2022 !Fingers crossed, because this kid is going places.He may even end up the Philippines best lightweight prospect the way he is going!

Jonniel Laurente looks certain to make an appearance on the undercard of Suarez v Magali this October in Parañaque.

The mood for this show is already simmering, and the name says it all !

BATTLEFIELD -  UKC TIGER 2022

Sounds just  perfect for the promising and unbeaten Laurente, who is one of the best emerging talents in the Philippines.

News on his opponent, and other great fighters destined for the BATTLEFIELD,  will be coming soon !

Expect all guns blazing on October 23rd, when youthful "power prodigy" Weljon Mindoro is expected to make his appearance on the main undercard of Suarez v Magali.

Mindoro is a member of a very talented squad trained out of Quibors Boxing Gym in Cavite, and his inclusion to the Charly Suarez card is surely going to add huge interest to the Parañaque show.

The man known as "Triggerman" is unbeaten in 8 bouts, and quite incredibly, has completed his work assignments all within the distance !

Mindoro is also unique in the fact that he is a larger size boxer than what is typically seen in the Philippines, contesting the Middleweight category (70kg).

As you can see from his picture with national team star Eumir Marcial, TRIGGERMAN is no shrinking violet. And at the age of just 22, he may very well still be growing !

"That's Amore" !!   Two WBA Asia title holders in the house at ANNIHILATION TIGER UKC in Parañaque, the most recently crowned being Linn Sandstrom.

The Swedish fighter, trained in Australia by Tony Del Vecchio, scored a solid win to grab the belt from a Thai opponent that came to survive. It was Sandstrom's 6th win as a pro, and signaled better things to come.

And who better to compare notes with than the Wonder Boy himself, Carl Jammes Martin, who recently successfully defended the very same title!

RoyRoy Sumugat and Jufel Salina turned on a battle for the ages in Parañaque on Sunday.

Jufel Salina is a top prospect who just impresses and improves with each bout, and his clash with "d'Hammer" was quality, high workrate, non stop action from the opening bell. The performance of Salina was so good in fact, it would have been no surprise if the referee had raised his hand after the final bell sounded.

Roy Sumugat had a splendid 2021, but was unfortunately stopped in his last match of the year, and his clash with Salina marked his long-awaited ring return. He weathered some great shots from Salina, but never looked vulnerable, and his accuracy in returning with meaningful work of his own clearly swayed the judges.

RoyRoy looked really composed and balanced against a "come to win" opponent, and this strong southpaw delivered quality responses every time he was asked a serious question.

This match reinforced the rise in calibre of Jufel Salina, and even more so, the level of performance that RoyRoy can produce under pressure.

Great first up showing from D’Hammer !

You don't need a telescope to see the future -  they are standing right here in front of you !!

Here stands more of the young blood that will be on display at ANNIHILATION TIGER UKC in Paranaque on Sunday August 7th.

Clarence Breboneria, Anton Maglinte, Jonathan Almacen, and Fernando Tagpuno Jr make up the resplendently handsome quartet, and rest assured, THEY CAN ALL FIGHT !

Sweden's Linn Sandstrom returns to Manila on August 7th, where she takes on Thai Khwunchit Khunya in a bantamweight undercard bout.

It has already been a busy year for the Aussie trained boxer, who fought in the Philippines in March. As widely reported, Sandstrom came to boxing quite late, but is making up for lost time and will be chasing her 6th win as a pro against Khunya.

If you are in Manila and want to see Linn in action, please arrive early. It's a big day of undercard action !

Clarence Breboneria showed some great form in sparring against more experienced fighters before a debut points loss. He is definitely way better than his first effort, and will be looking to make amends against Taraki Boxing Gym's Yvan Espolon.

Yvan "the Terrble" Espolon is on debut, but has been observed doing nice sparring in preparation for ANNIHILATION UKC, including work with Patrick Ballatong, a boxer that also appears on this card. Espolon is an orthodox fighter with a relaxed style and nice reach, and defintely has the style to give Breboneria problems.

This is a good fight, and as both these guys lack pro experience, will likely be resolved by the one who can set into their rhythm first  and make consistent touches.

Sweden's Linn Sandstrom had previously visited the Philippines for training camps back in 2019, and returned in March of this year to fight with Cagayan De Oro's Aisah Alico.

Both girls are back for ANNIHILATION UKC, but this time face different opponents. The "Sandstorm" has kept busy, winning bouts in Costa Rica and Australia since her Manila success.

"I love the Philippines, the people are warm like the weather. They always make me feel very welcome, it's almost like I'm an honorary citizen. I'm very excited to be back fighting there again, and really pumped to be on a card with so many great and talented boxers" enthused the Swedish slugger.

Linn Sandstrom will fight Thailand's Khwunchit Khunya in a 6 round bantamweight contest.

Ali Cañega is back this August, and the man known as "Carnage" is looking to build on his growing reputation. Already successful in two bouts this year, Cañega was most recently seen in May, grinding a physical points win over Gerry Patenio (who also makes an appearance on this card against the Aussie Michael Pengue)

Marbon Bodiongan is a "wildcard" entry, but an interesting one, as he hasn't been sighted since 2019. He had two bouts that year for a win and a loss (on the road in Japan)

Why interesting ? Well this is a guy that has infrequently fought in recent years, but he can really box. "Bongbong" has knocked out boxers of the calibre of Michael Dasmarinas and Landy Cris Leon earlier in his career, so if he is anywhere near that form, Cañega is in for a helluva fight!

It pays to be versatile, and former musician Rica Aquino makes no secret of her love for the sport of boxing. A relatively late starter to tackling the pros, the girl known as "Baby Dynamite" resumes from a three year hiatus when she clashes with debutant Erika Ballen at ANNIHILATION UKC next month.

Aquino, who also has a passionate involvement in boxing media, is a sponge for information, and is working hard on fitness and skills for her first fight back.

And who better to learn from than the exquisite Miss Gretel De Paz!

Gretel is one of the Philippines best performed pros, and was even recently a SEA Games medalist in Muay Thai.  De Paz has twice been a member of the World Team against Vietnam, where she joined fighters of the calibre of Mateo Tapia, Charly Suarez, Danilo Creati, Virgel Vitor and Michael Pengue.

They say if you go swimming, you gonna get wet, and we are sure Rica got in the deep end of the pool today!
