Haduca (C).
DAVAO CITY – Referee-judge Nowel Haduca of Quezon City will be the 3rd man in the ring between Victorio “Vicious” Saludar (20W-4L-0D, 11KOs) of Polomolok, South Cotabato and undefeated Robert “Inggo” Paradero (18W-0L, 12KOs) of Bukidnon on Feb. 20 at Binan Laguna Football Stadium in Binan, Laguna.
They will fight for the vacant World Boxing Association World minimumweight championship title.
The 38-year-old Haduca started his career as a referee and judge in 2008.
Haduca first got the break when he officiated the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council female atomweight title won by Jujeath Nagaowa of Japan in La Trinidad, Benguet in 2012.
In 2013 he officiated Cris Paulino, who retained the WBC Youth Intercontinental flyweight title in Manila.
He then handled the vacant WBC Youth World super featherweight title won by Argie Toquero in La Trinidad, Benquet last 2014.
He officiated the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental super bantamweight title which settled a draw between Robert Udtohan and Edison Berwela in Makati last 2015.
He refereed Michael Dasmarinas winning the WBC Youth World super flyweight title in Manila also in 2015.
He also handled a lot of Philippine title fights.
He attended the WBA 2019 World Convention last November and the fight on Feb. 20 will be the first World Boxing Association World minimumweight championship title for Haduca.
Meanwhile, the three judges will be Danrex Tapdasan, Aquil Tamano and Alfie Jocosol.
