International matchmaker and promoter Brico Santig of Highland Boxing Promotions has confirmed the staging of an exciting boxing card this Saturday night (July 16) at the Kiamba Civic Center in the seaside municipality of Kiamba in Sarangani, southtern Mindanao.

In the explosive main event for the MinProBa flyweight championship, undefeated 23-year-old Bais Singwancha (13-0, 4 KO's) of nearby Maasim, Sarangani, will clash in a thrilling 10-rounder against Ronnie Dalot of Surigao.
The co-main event features Elmar Singwancha (14-13, 3 KOs) and Rex Granada of General Santos City battling for the vacant MinProBA bantamweight title.
In a preliminary combat, 21-year-old light flyweight fighter Bimbo Nacionales (11-3, 2 KO's) of General Santos City will rumble 10 rounds in the minimumweight division against fearless Geboi Mansalayao of Baguio.
Another high octane clash is the 10 rounder between local kid 24-year-old bantamweight Paul Apolinario (10-7-2, 6KOs) and Ruel Suya, 23, of Baguio City by way of Masbate.
Also scheduled is light flyweight southpaw John Rey Pasaylo (1-2, 1KO) of Sarangani in a collision course against the very dangerous and more experienced "Boy of Steel" Reynaldo Belandres (13-2-2, 8KO's) of Matalan, Cotabato del Norte.
Moreover, an 8-rounder action match that will delight boxing fans is this: unbeaten local warrior Weljan Ugbaniel (6-0, 2 KO's) in a battle to keep intact his unblemished boxing record against the 23-year-old knockout seeker Elbert "Tyson" Guardario of Gensan.
Special attraction on fight night
Exciting prospects Rey Lorito, the newly crowned PABA light flyweight champion, and Roilo Golez, new WBC Asian minimum-weight king will be in attendance to meet and greet boxing fans in Sarangani.
The young new regional champs will talk to fans to share about their recent amazing KO victories in the Kingdom of Thailand.
