VIRGEL “Valiente” Vitor successfully made his first title defense by knocking out Dong Kwan Lee of South Korea for the World Boxing Organization Oriental super featherweight title last night, December 8 at the Calape Sports Center in Barangay Desamparados, Calape.
The 25-year-old Vitor of Tagbilaran City stopped Lee in the 2nd round after two left hooks.
Vitor thanked his manager-promoter Floriezyl Podot of Bohol and trainer Niño Jalnaiz.
Vitor earlier took the vacant WBO Oriental super featherweight title by knocking out Armon Yupang in the 3rd round last September 9 in Dimian, Bohol.
