THE much-awaited “The Challenger” boxing show promoted by Highland Spaceplus Boxing Promotions will be held November 30 at the Spaceplus, RCA Plus in Bangkok, Thailand.

It will feature the undefeated John Michael “Striker” Zulueta of Calatrava, Negros Occidental defending his Asian Boxing Federation light flyweight title against Suriya Kraimanee of Thailand.

It will be the second title defense of 27-year-old Zulueta, who has 14 wins with two draws and seven knockouts.

WBF-Asia Pacific Minimumweight champion Jake “El Bambino” Amparo of Bohol, on the other hand, will also square off with the world-rated Vietnamese Huu Toan Le for the WBA-Asia Minimumweight championship.

Filipino Ador “Terminator” Torres of Sorsogon, who recently lost in the ABF Super Middle title fight, will face off Khashatar Ghassemi of Iran.

Meanwhile, Muhammad Shoaid of Pakistan will battle Hendrik Barongsay of Indonesia for the vacant ABF lightweight title.

The boxing event is promoted by Brico Santis.
