"I have spoken to the WBC rep Patrick Cusick who sanctioned the WBC ABCO fight and he said the winner of this regional title fight will get a WBC World ranking and be invited to fight in India this year so it?s an exciting incentive for both boxers to win the ABCO title fight " Maniatis told philboxing. ?Adam Diu has been training very hard to win the WBC ABCO title in General Santos training camp.?
