DAVAO CITY -- Nelson Tinampay of Bohol will fight newly-crowned World Boxing Union welterweight champion Bowyn 'BoMan' Morgan of New Zealand for the title on Oct. 19 at the Christchurch in New Zealand.
The 26-year old Tinampay won by a spit decision over Boyce 'Astro Boy' Sultan of Cebu last July 26 in Bohol.

The 30-year old Morgan defeated another Filipino Jack 'The Assassin' Asis, now resident of Australia, to win the vacant WBU welterweight title last May 18, 2019 in Christchurch.
Morgan also earlier beat Luke Woods of Australia by a unanimous decision to win the International Boxing Organization Asia Pacific welterweight title last 2018 in Christchurch.
The promoter is Phil Shatford.
