Mga kababayan, this is it. Kenneth "Lover Boy" Llover is ready.
In Tokoname, Japan, Kenneth made weight perfectly at 58.0 kg for his biggest fight yet.
This is an IBF title eliminator - one win and he fights for a world championship next.
Guided by our own legend *Gerry Peñalosa*, Kenneth looked great! Today he’s walking in fresh, sharp, and smiling.
To remind, IBF rules are super strict. You can’t gain more than 4.5kg before the fight. Kenneth nailed it! Discipline. Focus. Heart!
After the weigh-in, Kenneth had one message:
“I’ll give fans my best fight. And yes, I’m going for the KO.”
That’s our Lover Boy! 24 years old, 17-0, from Cavite, carrying our flag 🇵🇭 with dear hermano Sir Gerry in his corner.
Tonight at Aichi Sky Expo, Japan.
Kenneth Llover vs Michael Angeletti!!
*How to watch:* It’s very possible the fight will stream live for free on the SAIKOULUSH YouTube channel. Check it out.
Philippines time: Saturday, June 6, 2026
· Start of the card in Japan: 5 PM Japan time. 🇯🇵
· Start in Philippines: 4 PM PHT. 🇵🇭
Kenneth Llover vs Michael Angeletti is the 4th fight on the main card.
Expect his ring walk around 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM PHT, depending on how long the earlier fights go.
Where to watch: it is not 100℅ sure, pero it is very possible that it will stream LIVE and free on YouTube SAIKOULUSH, as I told you above.
So we better start checking at 4 PM so we don’t miss it.
This fight means everything! Let’s all pray for Kenneth’s safety and victory. Laban, Kenneth! Buong Pilipinas nasa likod mo!
LUPANG HINIRANG, HANDA NA! 🇵🇭🔥
