The 26-year-old Yotboon has previously beaten Somphn Banyaem by a unanimous decision last February 27, 2024 at Withayakho School in Thailand.
Meanwhile, undefeated Ramil Macado [8-0-0, 4KOs] of Koronadal City will trade Lorenz Dumamag [9-0-1, 6KOs] of Zamboanga del Norte for the vacant WBO Oriental flyweight title fight in the other main event.
