This coming Saturday attention turns to China, where we have 3 different shows. Although none are huge, all 3 are worthy of some attention.
Wuyuan River Stadium, Haikou, China The best of the 3 Chinese shows is from Haikou, where we have 3 title fights, including an excellent fight between a former world title challenger and an unbeaten Filipino visitor. The former world title challenger on this card is China’s Bin Lu (4-1, 2), who famously chased greatness by attempting to win a world title in his second professional bout, before being stopped by the excellent Carlos Canizales, who takes on Vencent Lacar (8-0, 4) in a bout for the WBC Far East and WBO Oriental Flyweight titles, both of which are currently vacant. Following his loss to Canizales, in 2018, Bin spent some time away from the ring but returned in 2022 and has reeled off 3 wins, whilst getting himself back into shape. In his ring return he was at Bantamweight, but has been working his way down the weights, with this bout set to take place at Flyweight. Bin is a very good fighter. He was a stellar amateur and had his team not sought to etch his name in the history books against Canizales there is a great chance he’d have won a world title by now. He has skills, excellent amateur experience, good speed, ring IQ and power, but was simply out gunned, out fought and broken down by Canizales, who is a truly excellent fighter. As for Lacar the unbeaten Filipino has been slowly crafting a solid record of his own, winning the PBF title in September, following a career best win over the touted Shunpei Odagiri in Japan in June. Lacar is no push over, and will be confident of picking up a second win on the road this year. This should be high quality action from the opening bell, and a great chance for the winner to move towards a world title fight, though they are probably going to want another few fights and a bit more seasoning before a bout at the top level. A second notable title fight will see the unbeaten Yongqiang Yang (16-0, 12) face off with Kazakhstan fighter Ablaikhan Khussainov (13-1, 10) fighting for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight title. Aged 32 Yang has had a quiet but solid building of his record, without getting much fanfare. He debuted in 2016 and notched solid wins against Takuya Watanabe and Harmonito Dela Torre in 2018, before adding wins against Ernie Sanchez and JR Magboo. His last 3 wins over been less notable, but he and his team will be looking at this as a chance to take a huge step towards a major bout. He's tough, strong, has decent power, and whilst he is flawed defensively, he seems to have a solid and a real desire to win. Sadly at the age of 32 we do wonder whether father time will start to catch up with Yang soon. As for Khussainov, the 33 year old is fighting for the second time in 18 months, following his loss in Russia to Artur Subkhankulov. At one point he was part of a contingent of Canadian based Kazakh fighters, but that agreement has ended and his last 5 bouts, dating back 5 years, have been outside of Canada. At his best he looked like someone with the potential to make a mark on the world rankings. In recent years however inactivity, a lack of real desire and a loss to Artur Subkhankulov, have really ended any idea of his making a mark at a higher level. Despite both men being the wrong side of 30 we see them as being well matched, and this should be a great fight, even if neither man really has the tools, or time, to make a mark at world level A third title bout on this card will see Chinese puncher ZhiGang Zhang (8-2-1, 6) take on unbeaten Filipino Alfred Deano (13-0-1, 10), with the men facing off for the WBC Far East Super Featherweight title. The 30 year old Zhang has had 11 bouts and 47 rounds, with only 2 contests going the distance. He started his career with two early losses, being stopped in round 3 in both, but has now gone 9 fighters unbeaten. Sadly his most notable wins have come in Thailand, where he has beaten Wicha Phulaikhao, Conrado Tanamor and Campee Phayom. Notably his draw, which occurred last time out, against Rhonvex Capuloy, was a 6th round technical draw, also for the WBC Far East Super Featherweight title. As for Deano, he fought to a draw on his debut, and has run up a good looking record, though has mostly been fighting at Bantamweight and lacks any wins of real note. To date his biggest win has been a KO over Bryan Macamay, more than a decade ago, where he failed to make weight for the bout. On paper this looks competitive, but in reality it’s hard to imagine the naturally smaller Deano extending his unbeaten record here. MGM hotel, Shanghai, China We get more title action in Shanghai, albeit at a much lower level than the Lu Vs Lacar and Yang Vs Khussainov bouts. The title bout on this card will see Chinese based British fighter Ellie Bouttell (3-0-1) take on once beaten Indian fighter Renu Phogat (6-1,2) for the lightly regarded WBC Far East female Bantamweight title, with the two fighting to become the inaugural champion. Boutell, who has fought her entire career in China, is part of the M23 Boxing Club, which has led the likes of Can Xu and Wulan Tuolehazi to major international fights. She is somewhat unproven, but is slowly making a name for herself in China, with this being her 5th bout in a little under a year. As for Phogat who's also fighting for the 5th time in 12 months, this bout will be her second outside of India, as she looks to rebuild following a loss to Seren Cetin in Türkiye, in October. Interestingly Phogat will be fighting at a career lowest for the bout, at Bantamweight, having previously fought as high as Welterweight early in her career. A second notable bout on this card will see unbeaten teenage puncher Saipaier Rouzi (3-0-0-1, 3) take on Yihao Wang (13-4, 8). All 3 of Rouzi’s wins have come in the first round, however they have come against rank novices, and it's hard to get any sort of a read on him from those bouts. Aged just 19 however we’re interested to see how he fares here in a notable step up. Yihao Wang, who has been stopped in 3 of his 4 losses, is unbeaten in more than 5 years, and after a faltering start, going 5-4 (1) in his first 9 has found his groove, winning his last 8, with 7 of those wins coming early. Notably that winning run has been, mostly against limited foes, with Keon Woo Kim being the best of them, and the most recent win coming more than a year ago. Still this is a good step up for Rouzi and a win here could, hopefully, open the doors for him to move towards regional level title fights. Qidong Sport center, Nantong, China The least notable of the Chinese acton comes from Nantong, in a show that really feels like it could be one that’s easy to ignore in favour of the other two, much more interesting looking, shows. One of the bigger bouts on this card will see local fighter Min Nuo (8-4, 4) face off with visiting Thai Anuson Thonglueang (21-5-1, 16) is a pretty solid looking 8 rounder. Nuo is a 25 year old with some international experience,. having fought in both South Korea and Thailand, along with his native China. His most noteworthy bouts so far are early losses to Abdurasul Ismoilov and LeQuan Wang, which seem to suggest he is some way short of top regional level. Aged just 20 Thonglueang is looking to have his 5th bout of the year, and score his first win away from home, having been stopped in Kazakhstan and Australia earlier this year. Prior to 2024 he had also lost in all his other bouts on foreign soil, being stopped in Vietnam and out-pointed in Japan, with this now being his fifth fight on the road, and perhaps his best chance to pick up a win away from home. The other bout of note is a 10 rounder as local fighter Abulimiti Tuersunniyazi (10-4-2, 7) takes on Filipino visitor Ador Torres (12-5-1, 8), who we believe is a late replacement for Elmo Traya (14-5, 9). The 33 year old Tuersunniyazi has been a professional since 2015 and whilst he has faced some notable domestic fighters, such as Youli Dong and Cheng Su, he has never really beaten anyone of any note, at all. His 10 wins have been against low level imports or inexperienced domestic fighters, and it seems clear his career isn’t going far. As for Torres, the Filipino is an upset minded fighter, who has spent the last few years fighting mostly in Thailand, where he won and defended a low level Welterweight title. He is 8-1 in his last 9, with the one loss coming in September to the fast rising Kosei Nogami, in Japan, with that bout proving that Torres was tough as he lasted the 8 rounds with Nogami. Interestingly, the winner here will have scored their career best win. Nova Boxing Gymnasium, Incheon, South Korea As well as the action in China we also get a low level show in Incheon, South Korea, as the Nova Boxing Gym put on a show packed with 4 rounders. The one bout scheduled for more than 4 rounds is a 6 rounder, as Hyung Shin Chae (4-3, 1) takes on Woo Sung Kim (3-2, 2), in what should be a fan friendly, low level, fighter between two men with defensive issues. Chase, the more experienced man, has been stopped in his last 2, including a Korean title, both this year. Notably in just 7 bouts he has faced 6 unbeaten men, including a debutant, with only one of his 7 opponents having had a loss. As for Kim, his opponents have been less promising, though he did score his biggest win to date in October, when he stopped the experienced Chul Woo Yoon in 5 rounds. For fans of low level wars, this show should be fun, but it will be low level action, with flawed, crude, novices.

This coming Saturday is a crazy one for fight fans following Asian fighters with bouts all over the globe! West Midlands, United Kingdom The highest profile bout takes place in the UK as South African Zolani Tete (28-3, 21) takes on Filipino fighter John Riel Casimero (28-4, 19) to unify the WBA and WBO interim Bantamweight titles. For Tete the bout will see him back in action for the first time since a messy bout in October 2018 with Mikhail Aloyan whilst Casimero will be looking to score a 5th straight T/KO. Both men have a point to prove and both will know that a win here helps take them one step closer to a divisional super fight with WBA/IBF champion Naoya Inoue. A full preview of this bout is available to read here Casimero takes on Tete for WBO title! Monte Carlo, Monaco We get a bit of a strange one in Monaco, where unbeaten Chinese southpaw Zhilei Zhang (20-0, 16) takes on Ukraine's Andriy Rudenko (32-4, 20) in a clash of Heavyweight hopefuls. For Zhang this will be his first bout in over a year, as he looks to make up for lost time, and to try and get things back on track after previous issues with a visa. As for Rudenko, he has taken this bout as a late replacement for Sergey Kuzmin, and it's unclear how prepared he will be for this. This is a must win for both men, who are now both in their 30's, and it will be very, very hard to see the loser making any sort of a mark on the sport going forward. Nevada, USA In the US fans will be able to see unbeaten Japanese hopeful Andy Hiraoka (14-0, 9) make his American debut, as he takes on American foe Rogelio Casarez (13-8, 5). The talented Hiraoka, who has trained in the US in the past, will be going into this with a lot of confidence following a career best win over Akihiro Kondo in July but Casarez is a tough guy and will be expecting to take Hiraoka the scheduled 8 rounds here. Qingdao, China Top Rank continue their toe-dipping in China with another show alongside SECA, and this one features quite a lot of notable Chinese prospects. One of those Chinese prospects will be Lei Wang (4-0, 2), who takes on Filipino foe Marlon Paniamogan (10-1-1, 5) in a bout for the WBO Great China Light Welterweight title. For Wang this will be his third bout this year, and he'll be looking to build momentum as we head into the new year. For Paniamogan this will be his second bout since losing to Kuntae Lee in July. On paper this is a really interesting match up and one we're looking forward to. Another interesting match up on this show will see the unbeaten Yongqiang Yang (12-0, 9) take on JR Magboo (18-3-2, 9). The 27 year old Yang is one of Chinese boxing brightest hopes, and wins over Takuya Watanabe, Harmonito Dea Torre and Ernie Sanchez have really shown he can hang with good fighters. Sadly he spent more than a year away from action, which slowed his rise, but he is certainly someone who deserves some real attention. At his best Magboo was an decent hopeful, but with 3 losses in his last 5 bouts it's hard to see him putting up much of a test for Yang, who has the tools to go a very long way. Taipei, Taiwan There will also be a show in Taiwan, featuring a pair of notable Japanese fighters. In one of the main bouts former Japanese Super Bantamweight champion Ryoichi Tamura (12-5-1, 6) will be up against Indonesian foe Moensaku Yor (6-5-1, 4). The hard hitting Tamura has had a very mixed year, with a career defining win in January over Mugicha Nakagawa being followed by back to back losses to Yusaku Kuga and Gakuya Furuhashi. Despite the losses Tamura will be strongly favoured here against Yor, who has been stopped in 3 of his last 4 bouts. The other notable name on this show is boxing-policeman Daisuke Sugita (5-1, 3), who looks to defend his WBA Asia Super Bantamweight title against Filipino journeyman Edison Berwela (18-42-8, 6). This will be Sugita's first defense of the title he won in August when he beat Crison Omayao, and he'll be strongly favoured here against Berwela. Despite being the big under-dog Berwela will be expected to take Sugita rounds, and the Filipino has only been stopped in 7 of his 42 losses with the most recent stoppage coming more than 3 years ago against Michael Dasmarinas. Ulsan, South Korea Another Asian show will be taking place in South Korea. Like many Korean cards this is a pretty low key show, but the main event deserves some attention as unbeaten local Sung Jae Jo (10-0, 8) takes on Indian visitor Deepak Tanwar (4-0, 2). This will be Jo's 4th bout of the year, and he's moving forward with his career. Tanwar however has been inactive for almost 3 years and it's hard to imagine him putting up much of a fight here. Queensland, Australia We also have a bout of interest in Australia as the rugged but limited John Ruba (19-6-1, 10), from Indonesia, takes on unbeaten Australian Ben Mahoney (8-0, 4) for the IBO Asian Pacific title at Light Middleweight. Ruba is no world beater but he has gone the distance with Sadriddin Akhmedov and Mahoney will be expected to earn his win here. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia This coming Sunday we get one of the biggest shows of the year, possibly in fact the show of the year, as Pacquiao fever takes over Malaysia for a stacked card with 4 world title fights, and a number of notable under-card fights. The main event will see Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38) challenge WBA Welterweight champion Lucas Martin Matthysse (39-4-0-1, 36) in what is really a must win for both men. The Filipino icon, 39, hasn't fought in over a year with his last outing being a controversial decision loss to Jeff Horn in Australia. In fact we now need to go back to November 2016 to find Pacquiao's last win, which came against Jessie Vargas. At his best Pacquiao was a destructive dervish in the ring, but he is several years beyond his best. Matthysse also looks to be on the slide, and looked like a shadow of himself last time out against Teerachai Kratingdaenggym. Although a dynamite puncher, with under-rated skills, Matthysse can be out boxed, and can be made to look slow and predictable. We're not sure what to expect here, but with both men being past their prime neither can really afford a loss. In another of the world title bouts we'll see former IBF Flyweight champion Moruti Mthalane (35-2, 24) look to reclaim that title as he faces South Korean based Pakistani Muhammad Waseem (8-0, 6). The IBF Flyweight title became when Donnie Nietes vacated it, to move up to Super Flyweight, and as a result we have a brilliant match up here. At his best Mthalane was a leading Flyweight, an aggressive but technically sound fighter with wins against the likes of Hussein Hussein, Julio Cesar Miranda, Zolani Tete, Johnriel Casime and Ricardo Nunez. Sadly though the former champion is now 35, ancient for a Flyweight. Waseem on the other hand was on the fast track to the top to begin his career, but financial issues have slowed his rise and he's spent the last year treading water to keep off ring rust. At his best Waseem is an excellent boxer, but this is easily his toughest test to date. This could be a really high class contest. Another of the title fights could, potentially, be an historic one. The bout in question sees WBA Light Flyweight champion Carlos Canizales (20-0-1, 16) defending his belt against Chinese novice Lu Bin (1-0, 1). The Chinese 23 year old is looking to become the new record holder for the fewest fights to win a world title, doing so in 2 fights, and the confidence of Bin suggests he believes he can do it. He was a former amateur stand out and, like Vasyl Lomachenko, wanted to be fast tracked in the professional ranks. A win for Bin really would raise the bar for what is expected of true “super prospects”. Canizales on the other hand is looking for his first defense, after winning the title against Reiya Konishi earlier this year. The Venezuelan puncher is a fearsome fighter who's only set back was a split decision draw with Ryoichi Taguchi, and coming into this bout he may well be the best fighter at 108lbs, though obviously has stiff competition from the likes of Ken Shiro. We suspect Canizales will be the favourite but Bin is not there to roll over and lose. The 4th world title bout will see Filipino Jhack Tepora (21-0, 16) battle against Mexican Edivaldo Ortega (26-1-1, 12) for the WBA “interim” Featherweight title. The talented Tepora has long been tipped as one of the most promising young Filipino fighters and has picked up a number of minor titles in recent years but this is a big step up from the likes of Lusanda Komanisi, who Tepora stopped in eye opening fashion last September. The Filipino is flawed but has lights out power and will be a very dangerous fighter to go toe-to-toe with. Ortega is an all-action fighter with a come forward pressure style. He has scored notable wins over the likes of Juan Carlos Carlos Sanchez Jr, Tomas Rojas and Drian Francisco, but has never been in with someone who has power like Tepora. We're expecting to see Ortega bring the action and Tepora look for counters in what could be an absolute barn burner. The under-card here is littered with great match ups, including a bout between unbeaten Chinese fighter Yongqiang Yang (10-0, 7) and once beaten Filipino Harmonito Dela Torre (19-1, 12), in what really could be a very special bout. Another good looking contest will see the hard hitting Filipino Jayar Inson (16-1, 11) taking on Aussie foe Terry Tzouramanis (20-3-3, 3) in what could be a very exciting contest. Aichi, Japan As well as the big Malaysian show there will also be a smaller, though somewhat notable, card in Aichi. The main event of this Aichi card will see 2017 Super Featherweight Rookie of the Year Musashi Mori (6-0, 5) battling against Filipino foe Allan Vallespin (12-2, 9). The 18 year old Mori is one to watch, blessed with natural power, speed and skills he appears to be a fighter who could find himself in the title mix in 2 or 3 years, if he can continue to rack up wins. On paper this is a notable step up in class for the Japanese teenager, given that Vallespin's only losses have come to very decent fights in the form of Masaru Sueyoshi and Denys Berinchyk. This is a a really interesting bout and a very tough test for Mori. Also on this card is the hard hitting Arashi Iimi (5-1, 5), who takes on Suntorn Panhom (2-2, 1) on Thailand. The Japanese fighter came runner up in the 2017 Rookie of the Year at Super Bantamweight and has since bounced back with a stoppage over Shuto Takase in April. This will be his first bout against a non-Japanese fighter. Panhom comes into this on the back of back-to-back losses and we're not expecting him to to handle the power of Iimi, at all. South Korea There is also a small card in Korea courtesy of the KBA. The headline bout here will see WBA female Super Featherweight champion Hyun Mi Choi (15-0-1, 4) defending her title against Argentinian challenger Mayra Alejandra Gomez (18-7, 4). Choi, the only current Korean world champion, will be looking to extend her reign and increase her profile with this win as she attempts to make her 6th defense of the title. The champion, a tall and rangy fighter, should be strongly favoured, but Gomez has fought at world level before and has proven to be no push over against the likes of Jackie Nava. Also on this card will be Ji Hyun Park (22-3, 6), who will be up against a Thai foe. The Korean is a IFBA, WIBA and WIBF world champion who will be looking to add a WBF International Minimumweight title to her collection. Although she's a multi-time title winner Park was beaten last time out in a WBO world title fight by Kayoko Ebata, in what was her first defeat in over a decade. We suspect she'll be back to winning ways here. Shenzhen, China
This coming Tuesday attention turns to China where we'll be getting a relatively low key card. One of the major bouts on this show swll see the promising Wanchana CP Freshmart (8-0, 4) make his international debut as he travels in Shenzhen and takes on Que Xu (11-2-1, 4), with the Thai making his first defense of the WBC Asian Boxing Council Featherweight title. Wanchana has looked really promising since making his debut in late 2016 and although he's not really kicked on like some would have hope he does still look like a fighter with a lot of potential and a very exciting style. The Chinese local began his career with a loss and then had a draw but reeled off a 9 fight winning run following that start. A loss in late 2016 has slowed his rise but he comes into this with back to back stoppage wins and will be hungry going into this contest. The bout should be really good and see both men being forced to answer real questions, which is always a good thing. Another really interesting bout on this card will see local Lightweight hopeful Yongqiang Yang (9-0, 7) battle against teak tough Japanese visitor Takuya Watanabe (33-7-1, 18) for the WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental Lightweight title, which Yang will be defending for the first time. The 25 year old Chinese fighter turned professional around 2 years ago and has compiled a decent record already, but this is a huge step up in class. The 29 year Japanese fighter has fought through out Asia, picking up wins in Thailand, South Korea and Hong Kong, but this will be his first fight on the Chinese mainland. Given his success on the road the experience of fighting in China won't be an issue, especially given that his stable mate Sho Kimura scored his career defining win in China last year. Another interesting bout on this card will see Yelieqiati Nihemaituola (12-0-1, 4) battling against Filipino Conrado Tanamor (10-0, 4) in a regional title bout at Bantamweight. Shenzhen, China
The Chinese scene has shown some promise in recent years, and would love to see that moment continue over the next few years, as the country is a potential sleeping giant in the world of professional boxing. Sadly though it looks likely to remain a sleeping giant until promoters are able to really unearth some big time prospects on a regular basis. This coming Saturday sees two promising local fighters in action,though whether they will kick start the revolution in Chinese fighter is yet to be seen. One of those, in fact the main in the main event of the card, is 25 year old prospect Yongqiang Yang (8-0, 6) who will be looking to claim the WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental Lightweight as he takes on Indonesian foe Robert Kopa Palue (14-6-3, 4), who's most notable loss was a 9th round TKO loss to Hiroshige Osawa way back in 2012. Yang has shown a lot of promise, with a 3-0 (1) run in 2017 and should over-come the visitor here, but will need to take a huge step up if international fans are going to take note of him by the end of the year. The other really promising local in action on this show is unbeaten Bantamweight Yelieqiati Nihemaituola (11-0-1,3), who at 23 has a lot of time to develop and mature. The Chinese hopeful went 3-0 (2) in 2017, seemingly finding his power, and will be looking to score a third straight stoppage as he takes on Indonesian journeyman Ichal Tobida (13-23-1, 8). Tobida is an out and out journeyman, travelling to Thailand to pick up losses on a regular basis, though did manage to score a very notable 6 round draw with the once promising Iwan Zoda. It's hard to imagine Tobida getting anything at all out of this, but it will be interesting to see how Nihemaituola deals with him. Tokyo, Japan This coming Friday is an interesting day in Japan where we get several shows of note, with arguably the best of them taking place in Tokyo. In the main event we'll see the unbeaten Daishi Nagata (8-0-1, 4) risking his 0 against the more experienced Vladimir Baez (21-3-2, 19), a Japanese based Dominican fighter. So far Nagata has impressed, and has been matched relatively tough, though this is a step up in class for him and he will almost certainly have to show more than he has so far into his career. As for Baez, also known as “Destino Japan”, the bout will see him seeking to return to winning ways following a stoppage loss to Teerachai Kratingdaenggym last July. A must win for Baez, and a potential career booster for Nagata. In the chief support bout we'll see unbeaten youngster Izuki Tomioka (2-0) battle against Shun Shimazaki (8-8-1, 3) in a really good looking 8 rounder. Tomioka will be fighting over the 8 round distance for the first time and has impressed since his debut back in December, but this is a clear step up in class. Although no world beater Shimazaki is a solid fighter who was competitive with Takuya Watanabe just a few fights ago and should be a solid test here for the youngster. Another notable supporting bout will see former OPBF title contender Dai Iwai (20-4-1, 7) battle against the upset minded Masaki Saito (13-11-6, 4). On paper this looks a mismatch but Saito, on his day, can be a banana skin and and holds a win over Seiichi Okads as well as draws with Yuichiro Kasuya and Tsuyoshi Tojo. Coming in to this Iwai has won his last 3 bouts, and will be favoured here, but it's not a given win for the Misako man. Osaka, Japan As well as the show in Tokyo there will also be a notable card in Osaka, headlined by the biggest Japanese bout of the day. That big bout will be the third meeting between Tetsuya Hisada (27-9-2, 17) and Kenichi Horikawa (32-14-1, 7), who battle for the vacant Japanese Light Flyweight. Hisada was supposed to face Ken Shiro earlier in the year, but that bout was cancelled on late notice when Ken Shiro was set to fight for a world title, and ended up having this bout made on short notice instead. Coming in to this bout Horikawa is 2-0 against Hisada, and a former Japanese title holder, but is he is now 37 and well beyond his physical prime. In an under-card bout we'll see the once beaten Yuki Takahashi (7-1, 3) battle against Sam Puadi (7-7, 5) in what looks likely to be a one-sided contest, and in another under-card bout we'll see Takeru Kamikubo (12-2, 8) battle against Masashi Odaira (6-7-2, 2). These bouts aren't the most interesting on paper but should allow fight fans to see two promising prospects in action. Laguna, Philippines There will also be an Asian show in the Philippines. In arguably the most interesting bout of the show we'll see the under-rated pairing of Ernesto Saulong (19-2-1, 8) and Jestoni Autida (9-6, 4) face off in what looks like a mismatch but should be an interesting fight. On paper Saulong will be strongly favoured, he has lost just twice in his career and has got some good wins including a 2015 victory over Alie Laurel. Although Saulong has the better record Autida is no push over and has scored upsets before, and been competitive in many of his losses. This is a really intriguing match up. In another notable bout on this card we'll see Benezer Alolod (17-8-5, 5) face off with Renz Rosia (12-5, 6) in a really well matched bout. Both of these men are good domestic level fighters, who can impress away from home, and should make for a fantastic match up against each other. Shanghai, China One other card will take place in China, with the most interesting looking bout being a contest between the unbeaten pairing of Venson Delopere (5-0-3, 2) and Alimu Wushouer (9-0, 7). Filipino fighter Delopere will be fighting outside of his homeland for the first time, but is being matched hard here against the very talented Wushouer. Another unbeaten on this card will be Yongqiang Yang (6-0, 5) who risks his unbeaten record against Indonesian visitor Geisler AP (9-9, 6), who won't be expected to take the power of the Chinese hopeful |
