Unbeaten ALA Boy Milan Milendo will face Thailand's Nuapayak Sakkririn today for the vacant WBO Asia Pacific minimumweight title at the Mindanao Polytechnic State College in Cagayan de Oro City tonight.
The title has been declared vacant after it was relinquished by Donnie Nietes, who went on to win the regular WBO title to become the country's fourth reigning world champion.
Milendo came in at 104 lbs, while Sakkririn checked in at 105 lbs during official weigh-in held in Cagayan de Oro yesterday.
Milendo, who was raised in Puerto, Cagayan but now based in Cebu, holds an unblemished record of 12 wins with 3 KO's, while Sakkririn is 6-1, 6 KO's.
The rest of the card are as follows: Weng Haya vs David Plana (10 rds); Mark John Yap vs Mark Saloma (8 rds); Fernando Otic vs Elmer Colve (8 rds); Jason Pagara vs Glen Masicampo (8 rds); Rey Genosas vs Danilo Siaton (4 rds); Brian Diano vs Elbert Guardario (4 rds); and Alfredo Basadre vs Lito Nengasca (4 rds).
