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.
