PhilBoxing.com




DUBAI, UAE ? Filipino expat Larry Abarra will make a third appearance here in Dubai when he battles Chansaknoi Sakrungruang (Natthapong Singsanan) of Thailand this Friday

Abarra made two appearances in Pinoy Pride fight cards in Dubai in 2014 and 2015. The 29 year old was a former amateur standout in the Philippines and spent the early part of his career in Metro Manila. He told this writer after the weigh-in that he hopes to be more active as a professional fighter and not just fight once a year. That will depend on how the sports will gain popularity in this country that has shown interest in hosting big title fights.

The undercards will feature Africans, Thais and one Irish boxer. Deo Kizito of Uganda will be pitted against Thai veteran Kosol Sor Vorapin (Photong Boonsong )also for six rounds. Kizito weighed in 139lbs while Kosol stepped on the scales at 132.25 lbs. They will fight for six rounds.
