Donreil Marcos battles Roel Laguna for the Philippines super bantamweight title in Maasim, Sarangani on June 14 in an exciting fight card presented by Mayor Jojo Lopez, a diehard boxing fan, in association with well-known promoter Sammy Gello-ani and Viva Sports.
Marcos who belongs to the emerging Black Scorpion Boxing Gym in Lanao del Norte has a record of 9-1 with 1 knockout while Laguna who is from the stable of Rex ?Wakee? Salud boasts of an 8-2-1, 5 knockouts slate.
The June 14 card will be headlined by a WBO Oriental flyweight championship bout between the Philippines top-rated Richie Mepranum who takes on undefeated African Juma Seleman Fundi.
Mepranum whose biggest win so far was an eighth round split decision over Philippine flyweight champion Rocky Fuentes last December at the Araneta Coliseum has a record of 12-2-1 with 3 knockouts while Fundi is unscathed with a record of 7-0 with 4 knockouts.
A third title fight on the card will feature promising John Mark Apolinario taking on veteran Nino Suelo in a Philippine Boxing Federation super flyweight title belt.
The Mepranum-Fundi WBO Oriental title bout will be telecast the following day (Sunday) on the top rated weekly boxing show ?The Main Event? at 9:00 p.m. over IBC 13 sponsored by Tanduay, the No.1 Rhum and supported by Pagcor, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation.
