SGG's Reman Salim attempts to bring home the WBO Asia Pacific Youth featherweight crown tomorrow when he faces hot Indonesian prospect Daud Cino Jordan at Slawi City in Central Java, Indonesia.
The lanky Salim, who has been unbeaten in his last four fights, will try to become yet another WBO title holder to come out of the ALA Gym following the footsteps of Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista, Czar Amonsot, and Donnie Nietes.
It will be a tough task ahead, however, for the Bago City-born, Bacolod City-raised Salim, who left yesterday for Indonesia accompanied by trainer Tingyan Velasquez.
Up against Salim is an unbeaten young prospect who is widely considered as the next big thing for Indonesian boxing.
The 19-year-old Jordan, who is unbeaten in nine fights, will enjoy hometown advantage in the fight, not to mention being the natural featherweight going into the ten-round contest.
