Two unbeaten young Filipino fighters will invade Russia this weekend and battle tough Russian boxers in WBO Intercontinental title fights at the DIV?s in the major business center of Ekateringburg where the temperature was around 73 degrees Fahrenheit.
The promising youngsters from the Sanman Gym of youthful promoter Jim Claude Manangquil are super featherweight Romero Duno, the 20 year old with a record of 8 knockouts in 9 wins and super featherweight Rimar Metuda, a 22 year old southpaw with a record of 10-0 with 5 knockouts.
Duno will clash with unbeaten Russian 20 year old Mikhail Alexeev who has a record of 7-0 with 3 knockouts for the WBO Intercontinental super featherweight title while Metuda will take on 19 year old Mark Urvanov for the WBO Intercontinental Youth featherweight title.
Duno is coming off a win over veteran Jason Egera who retired in the 8th round to grab the Philippine Boxing Federation title after forcing another veteran Eusebio Baluarte to retire in the 3rd round of a scheduled eight round bout.
Metuda is coming off a 2nd round knockout in a scheduled six round bout over Joel Hecotibo last March 8 following a comfortable ten round decision over another veteran Jaime Barcelona on November 27 last year.
Alexeev who takes on Duno forced Evgeny Torabukin to retire in the 3rd round of a ten round bout last March 5 while Urvanov won by a ten round shutout over Alexey Shorokhuv on February 27, 2016.
