Indonesia boxing fans can't wait for this Saturday's JAKARTA BIG FIGHT III featuring in the main event the 12-rounder battle between local fighter Ruben Manakane and veteran Filipino southpaw Edison "Kamatis" Berwela for the vacant WBA 122-lbs Asia title at the historic Balai Sarbani Hall in downtown Jakarta.

In addition, veterans Willem Marahina and Rocky Irawan Sikumbang will trade blows in a scheduled 12-round battle for the vacant Indonesian super lightweight title.
