BANGKOK, Thailand — Exciting Filipino Boxers AJ Paciones, Reymond Yanong, Elmar “Samurai” Zamora, and Reymart Soledad are strong and ready for fighting action in today’s thrilling Highland Boxing Show in Bangkok, Thailand.
The 12-bout show can be watched LIVE for free from the YouTube channel of Highland Boxing. The first fight starts around 2 pm (Philippines Time)
👉 In the main event, unbeaten world-ranked Cebuano AJ Paciones (9-0, 5 KOs), son of former fighter Do Dong, battles Xiang Li (9-2, 4 KOs) of China for the WBA ASIA 108 Belt.
The 12-rounder is crucial for the tall WBA #2 Paciones, who is inches closer to a world title shot in the light flyweight division (the # 1 ranking is vacant). Supervisor for the fight is Won Kim of South Korea.
