Promoter Leonil Lazarito of Leolet Sports Promotion has announced a twinbill for the Philippine Boxing Federation titles on February 16 at the air-conditioned Gusa Sports Complex in Cagayan De Oro City.

Former RP superfly champ Eric Barcelona takes on ex-RP flyweight champ Federico Catubay for the vacant PBF bantamweight title in the 10-round main event.

In the co-feature, ex-WBC International minimumweight titlist Armand De la Cruz battles the battle-tested Fabio Marfa in a 10-round shootout for the PBF minimumweight crown.

A special attraction pits Japanese amputee boxer Naozumi Tsuchiyama against Harry Kahapon in a 4-round scrap.

The rest of the card pits Jake Verano against Joel De la Cruz (10 rds); Jurlan Ceniza against Romnick Rapista (6 rds); Eusebio Baluarte against Ronald Balangyaw (4 rds); Joefrey Mara-Mara versus Marext Alta (4 rds); Edwin Ramuga versus Freddie Pacot; and Renan Branzuela against Richie Hallasgo (4 rds).

Female and amateur bouts precede the professional fights.
