Young undefeated prospect, AJ ‘Bazooka’ Banal, faces another test as he fights tough Thai challenger, Terdkiat Jandaeng tomorrow at the Mandaue Sports Complex.
Both fighters made weight at the official weigh-in today held at the ALA Gym.
Banal came in at 116 lbs, while Jandaeng tipped the scales at 117 lbs.
Banal who boasts of an immaculate record of 11 wins, 8 by way of knockout has been tapped as one of the challengers for the vacant WBO Asia-Pacific Youth title.
The fighter who comes out victorious from the Banal-Jandaeng bout will automatically be scheduled for the vacant WBO Aspac Youth title slated on the SGG Sports Feb 24 promotion.
Banal has to overcome this obstacle tomorrow as he eyes a shot for the Asia-Pacific title.

Terdkiat, who flew in from Bangkok last night with trainer/manager, Soontorn Moonkham, came prepared to do battle against Banal. Terdkiat, younger brother of WBO Asia-Pacific champion Terdsak Jandaeng, hopes to follow on his brother’s footsteps and stop the winning streak the 18-year old Cebuano seems to be into.
