SUZHOU, CHINA - Xia Shunkai of China and Falani Richy Tavu?i of Samoa are all set for their cruiserweight battle for the right to be crowned WBO China National champion.
Xia (4-0, 2KO?s) weighed in at 90.7kgs (199.95 lbs) while Tavu?i (4-1,1KO) stepped on the scales at 90.3kgs (199lbs). The official weigh-in was held Friday afternoon at the Hong Leong City Center. They will fight Saturday in the main event that will feature boxers from the China Professional Boxing Club Association (CBCA).
There will be four bouts on the undercards ? Wang Jian ? 54.7 kgs (120.5lbs) vs Sun Zhanguo ? 55.2kgs (121.7lbs), Zhao Yuanyuan ? 60.6 kgs (133.5lbs) vs Wang Lin ? 61.2 kgs (134.9lbs), Ge Wenfeng ? 55.1kgs (121.4lbs) vs Xie Cheng ? 55.5kgs (122.3lbs), and Wang Fei Hu ? 66kgs (145.5lbs) vs Zhai Yu ? 66.3kgs (146lbs).
The main event is officiated by ring officials of the Professional Boxing Commission (PBC) of China and is supported by the WBO. The fights will take place at the Dushu Lake Gym.
WBO VP for Asia-Pacific Leon Panoncillo emphasized that the China belt will be a stepping stone for a ranking that will lead to a WBO Asia Pacific or Oriental title shot if the boxer keeps on winning. The WBO Asia Pacific title will lead to a world ranking and a future title shot. Professional boxing is still at its early stages here in China and the WBO and the PBC,International have been very supportive in the effort to stage bouts, rank fighters and establish a professional boxing system in Asia?s biggest nation.
