DUNO, METUDA NOW IN RUSSIA By Lito delos Reyes PhilBoxing.com Tue, 03 May 2016 UNDEFEATED Romero ?Ruthless? Duno and Rimar ?Terminator? Metuda of the Sanman Promotions of General Santos City arrived in Russia last May 2 for their separate title-fights on May 6 at the DIVS in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Duno and Metuda arrived in the morning of May 2 together with Sanman Promotions Chief Finance Officer Dexter ?Wang Yu? Tan. ?Both Duno and Metuda are still three pounds over. But they still have three days before the weigh-in. Everything is OK,? said Sanman Promotions chief executive officer Jim Claude ?JC? Manangquil. Duno (9W-8KOs) will fight undefeated Russian Mikhail Alexeev (7W-0L-0D-3KOs) for the WBO Intercontinental super featherweight crown while Metuda (10W-5KOs) will face Mark Urvanov (6W-1L-0D-3KOs) for the World Boxing Organization (WBO) Intercontinental Youth featherweight title. ?Both of them are fighting young and talented Russian fighters,? said Sanman Promotions chief executive officer Jim Claude ?JC? Manangquil. The 22-year old Metuda had previously won by a 2nd round knockout against Joel Hecotibo last March 8 in T'Boli, South Cotabato. He also earlier took the vacant WBF Asia Pacific featherweight title via a 5th round TKO win over Jason Tinampay last September 26, 2015 in Gensan. Metuda?s opponent Urvanov last won by a unanimous decision over Alexey Shorokhov to pocket the vacant Russia featherweight title last February 27 at the Arena in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Duno, 20, on the other hand, recently captured the Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) super featherweight crown by stopping Jason Egera in the 8th round last February 13 at the Gaisano Mall Gensan. His Russian foe Alexeev stopped Evgeny Tarabukin in the 3rd round last March 5 at the Sports Palace in Beloyarsky. ? LITO DELOS REYES PHOTO: PINOY BOXERS. Romero ?Ruthless?
