AROY, SOLLANO TO VIE FOR WBC INT'L BELTS

RWS fighters Alex Aroy and JR Sollano will travel to South Africa for their respective crack at the WBC International titles against local fighters.

Aroy, the 'Maasin Bomber,' will challenge WBC International minimumweight champion Zukisani Kwayiba in a 12-round bout on September 21 at the Carousel Hotel and Casino in Temba, South Africa.

Aroy (12-4-2, 6 KO's) is expected to give the untested yet power-punching Kwayiba all he can handle considering that the reigning champion is a relative neophyte with just 9 bouts to his credit.

Sollano (12-6, 9 KO's), the reigning Philippine lightweight champion, will challenge WBC International lightweight champ Ali Funeka on September 23 at the Orient Theatre in East London, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Funeka (28-1, 23 KO's) is being groomed to face OPBF lightweight champ Randy Suico in a possible WBC eliminator at year's end.

If Aroy or Sollano comes out victorious in South Africa, the plan is to put them for a title defense during the WBC Convention this November in Manila.
