In the co-feature, Jeo ?Santino? Santisima (15-2-0, 13 KOs) of Aroroy, Masbate, Philippines faces Likit Chane (16-5-0, 10 KOs) of Songkhla, Thailand for the vacant WBO Oriental junior featherweight championship (122lbs) for 12 rounds.

?King? Arthur Villanueva (31-3-0, 17 KOs) of Bago City, Negros Occidental clashes with Renren Tesorio (16-12-3, 4 KOs) of Taguig City, Metro Manila for 10 rounds in the 118lb. division.
Villanueva once held the WBO Asia Pacific super flyweight title, the WBO international super flyweight title, the IBF international jr. bantamweight title, and the WBC international super flyweight title.
On July 19, 2015, "King Arthur" lost a controversial technical decision to former Olympian Mcjoe Arroyo for the vacant IBF superflyweight title.
On April 22, 2017, he also lost to Zolani Tete for the WBO interim bantamweight title by unanimous decision.

Jerusalem, ranked No.9 by the WBC in the mini-flyweight rankings, fought the champion Wanheng Menayothin on January 25, 2017. Menayothin won a tightly contested unanimous decision. Jerusalem was deducted a point in the eight round for a low blow. Without the deduction, the bout would have ended in a majority draw.
