GENERAL Santos City -- Former World Boxing Federation (WBF) International flyweight champion Jake Bornea of General Santos City fights Bohol?s knockout artist Richard Rosales for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia Pacific Youth flyweight title on July 11 at the Robinsons Mall of Gensan.
