BANGKOK, Thailand - Italian Alessio "The Hammer" Bisutti and reigning WBC Asia Champion Panya Chomphoophuang of Thailand successfully made weight and faced off ahead of their 12-rounder bout for the vacant UBO Heavyweight World Title.
The match is part of the Highland Boxing Promotions show on August 30 at the World Siam Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, live on DAZN.
"The Hammer" Bisutti (13-1, 12 KOs) from Venice, Italy, weighed in at 111 kgs, while 34-year-old Panya Chomphoophuang scaled in at 93 kilos.

In the co-feature, undefeated Pakistani boxer Usman Wazeer (16-0, 11 KOs) will face battle-tested Indonesian Stevie Ongen Ferdinandus for the vacant OPBF Silver Welterweight Belt.
