DIALE TRAINS IN BAGUIO FOR TYSON MARQUEZ FIGHT

Current RP GAB Flyweight Champ Arden "The Spoiler" Diale will set his training camp in Baguio City before flying to Mexico to challenge defending WBA Flyweight Kingpin Hernan "Tyson" Marquez. Diale together with his trainer Bong Ariscon and Manager Dan Alamario will hold the high altitude training for three weeks at Highland Boxing Stable owned by young promoter Brico Santig.

Diale recently stopped undefeated Mhar Jhun Macahilig in round 7 during the Cobra Boxing event last month in Bacolod City. This is Diale's second attempt at a world title belt after his TKO loss to Julio Cesar Miranda last year in Mexico. According to Diale, "I have learned a lot from my loss to Miranda. I will train harder for this fight and I will be patient in looking for the perfect timing. My victory against Macahilig was a result of patience. They said he was ahead in the score cards but I was unfazed. When the perfect opening came, I went for the kill and the power punch landed perfectly. I know I need to be aggressive. I will fight in my opponent's hometown, thus a decision win is impossible. I will therefore go out and try to stop him."

Diale has lived up to his ring monicker "The Spoiler". He possesses notable upset wins against Jermie Jabel giving him the WBO Oriental Flyweight Belt, against then undefeated Lolito Sonsona for the IBF Pan Pacific Youth Flyweight Belt and recently against Macahilig in defense of his GAB Flyweight Belt.

The Arden Diale versus Hernan Mrquez fight will be on June 23 at the Centro de Usos Multiples, Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. (Chito Yu Katangkatang)
