Mike Plania.
Filipino superbantamweight contender and WBO No. 2 “Magic” Mike Plania (W26 KO13 L1) will be in his biggest career fight as he faces undefeated WBA Interim Super Bantamweight Champion Ra’eese Aleem (W19 KO12 L0) for the WBO/NABO Super Bantamweight Title. The face-off will part of the Andy Ruiz versus Luis Ortiz undercard on September 4 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Plania is the more experienced fighter heading into the ring having faced the likes of Ricardo Nunez, Joshua Greer and Juan Carlos Payano which was his only career loss. However, Aleem is a no pushover opponent having the bigger knockout rate on top of his unblemished record. A win for Plania will bring him closer to a shot the WBO Super Bantamweight Belt held by Stephen Fulton.
Plania is in the final stages of his training with just less than a month before the fight. “ I really thank God for another big break in my career. It’s few steps away from my shot at a world title. I cannot afford to lose this and I am going all out to win this fight. Aleem is a technically superb fight. It will not be an easy fight. But I have the experience advantage. I have the hunger factor. I want the Philippines to have another world champion and after Apolinario, it will again come from Sanman Stable. I can’t wait to step on the ring and get it on”, Plania stated.
