Vic Saludar will look to bounce back from his second career setback when he defends his WBO Asia-Pacific minimumweight title against Lito Dante on April 2 at the Oval Plaza Gym in Gen. Santos City.
?Vicious? Vic (11-2,9KO?s) lost his world title shot to WBO champ Kosei Tanaka of Japan last December 31. Saludar was ahead on judges? cards, and knocked down the Japanese in the fifth, before being stopped in the sixth round with a hard body shot.
Dante (11-5-3,6KO?s) lost to Siyabonga Siyo in South Africa in a WBA International title bout by unanimous decision last year but bounced back with back to back wins against Lester Abutan and Junuel Lacar.
Jake Bornea (10-1,5KO?s) will defend his WBO Asia-Pacific Youth flyweight title against Renerio Arizala (13-3-1,5KO?s). Bornea won the title by stopping Richard Rosales in four rounds last July. Arizala has a win against Romnick Magos and losses against Toshiyuki Igarashi in Japan and Genesis Libranza in his last three bouts.
Two foreign boxers will dispute the vacant WBO Asia-Pacific featherweight crown ? Hiroshige Osawa (29-3,18KO?s) of Japan and Yon Armed (12-5,6KO?s) of Indonesia.
There will be eleven more bouts on the undercards including Froilan Saludar vs Nicardo Calamba and Jade Bornea vs Ronnie Sunido.
