CEBU - Fight fans in the municipality of Balamban, Cebu will be treated to a regional title fight next month when Virgilio ?Maton? Silvano of the Omega Gym of Cebu goes for the vacant WBO Asia-Pacific light flyweight title against Jetly Purisima on September 7 at the Balamban Sports Complex.
The 23 year old Silvano (16W-2L-1D, 10 KO?s) holds the Philippine Boxing Federation (PBF) light flyweight belt and in his last fight in February beat Louie Arlos by unanimous decision in Dalaguete.

He will be facing Jason Egera of Siaton, Negros Oriental. Also scheduled to appear is world ranked flyweight Froilan Saludar, who will face Julios Alcos.
