Ana "The Hurricane" Julaton is the Fil-Am female fighting pride of the Philippines and is eager to be making her return to American Metal & Iron Fight Night at the Tank where just last month she captured the vacant IBA Female Super Bantamweight Championship when she defeated Kelsey Jeffries (41-10-1, 4 KO’s) of Gilroy by scoring a 10-round majority decision. In Biggers, Julaton will be facing an older and much more experienced fighter as Biggers is almost seven years older than Julaton and has more than four times the number of professional fights under her belt. Like Julaton, Biggers fought Jeffries in 2007 where she lost a 10-round unanimous decision to Jeffries for the IFBA International Female Boxers Association Featherweight Title. This will be the first time that Julaton and Biggers have fought. Eloy “The Prince” Perez returns to HP Pavilion for the fifth time in his career. Perez last fought at the Tank on March 7, 2009 when he appeared on the undercard of a televised event that featured Gilroy native Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero. That night Perez scored a fourth-round TKO over opponent Gabe Garcia in the bout which was scheduled for six rounds.
