Camigue (L) and Handing (R).
ALVIN Camigue of General Santos City will fight veteran Mateo “Waray Warrior” Handig of Northern Samar for the MinProBA bantamweight title on June 25 at the Bacaca Gym in Bajada, Davao City.
“He's more experienced than me, but I will do everything I can to win,” said the 25-year-old Camigue.
Camigue (6-1-0, 1KO) recently scored a hard-earned majority decision over undefeated John Vincent Pangga of Cagayan de Oro last March 19 in Davao City.
Handig, on the other hand, has a total of 38 fights already with 15 wins and nine knockouts.
The 33-year-old Handig won the Luzon Professional Boxing Association (LuzProBA) super bantamweight title by knocking out Albert Alcoy of Makati last February 2018 in Mandaluyong.
Meanwhile, the 8-round fight between Angelo Beltran of Valencia City and veteran Ramel Antaran of Sarangani Province for the vacant MinProBA super bantamweight title did not push through.
“It was disapproved by the screening committee of the GAB Makati medical division because of strict protocols due to recent boxer Egano case,” said Games and Amusements Board (GAB) Davao OIC Arnulfo Sazon,
Beltran will now face Reycar “The Machine” Auxilio (4-2-0) of Cebu while Antaran will fight unbeaten Nelbert Gaballo (4-0-0, 3KOs) of Gensan.
The other bouts:
Alvin Vergara vs. Jhesriel Vijano (6 rds.-130 lbs.);
Crisalito Beltran vs. Rodrigo Virtudazo (4 rds.-135 lbs);
Arnel Lofranco vs. Junrey Lawa (4 rds.-105 lbs.);
Jake Acude vs. Rey Bautista (4 rds.-122 lbs.);
Donnato Jordan vs. Jomari Pagulong (4 rds.-115 lbs.);
Ralph Valdez vs. Kevin Labansza (4 rds.-110 lbs.);
Nico Ramos vs. Joshia Padual (4 rds.-126 lbs.);
Reyniel Alisoso vs. Arnold Montales (4 rds.-110 lbs.).
There will also be amateur bouts to spice up the early rounds,” said Firmo Aligato of Alcazar Promotions.
This boxing event, dubbed as “Pasiklaban sa Barangay 19-B”, is presented by Alcazar and Amoy Promotions.
It is brought by Barangay Captain Loreto Nicolas and SK Chairperson Jesila Sumatra.
