Arañas Survives Harsh Knockdown, Stops Noynay to Claim WBF Strap in Cebu (Fist of Fury X Results) By Carlos Costa PhilBoxing.com Sun, 10 May 2026  CEBU CITY — Jemuel "Iron Man" Arañas proved he’s got heart to match his power! Floored by a perfect counter in round two, the Carcar slugger climbed off the canvas and came roaring back, dropping Jeric Noynay twice in round three to score a dramatic TKO win Saturday, May 9, at the iconic Cebu Coliseum. With the victory, Arañas claims the WBF Silver Flyweight Title and cements himself as one of Cebu’s must-watch punchers!  Arañas finishes off Noynay. • The Finish: Noynay (5-3, 1 KO ) of Medellin looked sharp early, timing Arañas (9-3-1, 5 KOs) with a clean right hand that sent the Iron Man down in the second. But Arañas beat the count, cleared his head, and came out firing in the third. A thunderous left hook hurt Noynay, and Arañas poured it on. Two knockdowns later, referee Angelito Piquero of Mabini, Bohol, waved it off at 2:17 of round three. The Coliseum was thrilled! WBF Vice President Alvin Go of Cavite supervised the title bout. The card was promoted by beloved Cebuano boxing patron Sir Lorenzo "Chao" Sy. • "Fists of Fury - The Eliminator" FULL RESULTS Main Event – IBF Minimumweight World Title Eliminator: Dianxing Zhu (China) 105 lbs def.
