CHONGQING, CHINA ? Five title belts will be at stake this Thursday November 2 at the Wansheng Sports and Culture Stadium. Qu Peng (12W-1L-1D,8KO?s) of Dalian, China will battle Russian Gasan Gasanov (14W-5L-1D, 2KO?s) for the vacant WBO Asia-Pacific light heavyweight title and the WBA Asia title (top photo).
