FORMER International Boxing Organization (IBO) world super flyweight champon Edrin Dapudong of North Cotabato will face dangerous Wisanlek Sithsaithung of Thailand in a non-title bout on October 11 at the Almendras gym.
It will be Dapudong?s first fight since losing his title by a controversial split decision against Lwandie Sityaha in South Africa last July 18.
?This will be a tune-up for his rematch against Sityaha. But his Thai opponent is not a patsy,? said promoter Manny Pinol of the Sonshine Sports Management.
Sithsaithung has won his last 11 fights with six of them all by knockouts.
Dapudong, 28, has a fight record of 29 wins with 7 knockouts, six loses and no draw.
Dapudong, a native of M?lang first lost to Gideon Buthelezi of South Africa by a controversial decision last November 10, 2012.
