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.

Dapudong, 28, has a fight record of 29 wins with 7 knockouts, six loses and no draw.
