Arizala (13-2-1), a native of Masbate, won his last fight via a technical decision against Romnick Magos last July 31 at the Cuneta Astrodome in Pasay City.
Magos was downed once in Round 2 and suffered a severe cut on his right eyebrow due to an accidental headbutt. Referee Danrex Tapdasan stopped the fight in the 5th round upon the advice of the ring physician.
The 21-year old Arizala won the vacant LuzProba flyweight title by a unanimous decision against JC Francisco on May 25, 2014 in Rizal.
