TOMJUNE “War Dog” Mangubat of Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon will fight in Japan against Masanori Rikiishi for the Orient and Pacific Boxing Federation super featherweight title on August 14 at the EDION Arena in Osaka.

Mangubat has undefeated Carlo “Flamethrower” Bacaro (9-0-0, 6KOs), Benny Cañete (6-0-0, 5KOs) and Jeo “Santino” Santisima (21-4-0, 18KOs) as sparring mates.
