Richard Garde.
ORTHODOX Richard Garde from Cotabato Province will be fighting DianXing Zhu of China for the World Boxing Organization Global minimumweight title on January 13 at the Paradise City in Incheon, South Korea.
It will be the first time for Garde to fight outside the country.
The 29-year-old Garde (8-1-0, 7KOs) has won five of his last fights since November 2022.
Garde previously won the vacant Philippine Boxing Federation minimumweight title by knocking out Roslan Eco of Misamis Oriental in the 5th round last October 22, 2023 at the President Roxas Gym in President Roxas, Cotabato Province.
Zhu (11-1-0, 10KOs), on the other hand, has won his last six bouts since September 2020.
Zhu will be defending his WBO Global minimumweight title for the first time against Garde since he wrested it via a TKO against Sanchai Yotboon in the 3rd round last November 18, 2023 at The Grand Ho Tram Strip in Vung Tau, China.
Zhu earlier took the vacant WBC Asia Silver light flyweight title by a technical knockout over Narathin Sungut of Thailand in the 1st round at Sasakul Gym in Lam Luk Ka, Thailand in March 27, 2023.
He defended it by stopping Shane “Sugar Shane” Gentallan of Bohol in the 10th round last May 6, 2023 at Guindulman Civic Center in Guindulaman.
The Garde-Zhu fight in South Korea will be promoted by Sang Bum Kim of the Cocky Buffalo Promotion.
The inspectors are Samson Iu and Lim Song.
