PATTAYA, Thailand – Unbeaten Frank Atangana (6-0, 2 KO’s on the right) of Paris, France, and Ahmad Samir Dawrani (10-4-1, 7 KO’s) of Bazarak, Afghanistan, successfully made weight ahead of their 10-round battle for the vacant UBO Super Middleweight Continental Title set for Saturday, September 14, at the FCC Boxing Gym in Pattaya, Thailand.

The French fighter tipped the scale at 74.35 kilos, while the Afghan warrior moved the needle to the division’s limit of 76.2 kgs, both serious men looking strong, confident and ready an exciting battle.

Filipino boxers Ryan Willis and “The Unstoppable” Renato Cha Jr. are scheduled for action in supporting fights.

The Bicolano Renato Cha Jr., a former MMA fighter, will wage war against Thai brave man Phisit Phaochanthuk in a four-chapter rumble in the featherweight division.

Meanwhile, the strong-looking Ryan Willis will lock horns against tough Aphichat Sopapat in a 6-rounder in the 126-lbs weight-class.

In women’s action, cute Syrine Laajili of Tunisia and beautiful Grazal Rezaei will throw bombs at each other in a thrilling six-frame rollercoaster in the 135-pound division.

In addition, undefeated Italian bridgerweight “Il Martello” Alessio Bisutti (7-0, 6 KO’s) will see action as well, clashing hard against younger, taller Nakhongchai Pantang of Thailand.

Fans outside of Thailand may watch the whole show LIVE from the YouTube channel of FCC - Fight Club Championship.

The first fight for the 11-bout boxing event starts at 5 pm Thailand Time.

The show is a promotion of FCC - Fight Club Championship in association with the Highland Boxing Team.
