Gensan boxer Adam Diu Abdulhamid will face Tim Hunt of Australia for the for the vacant WBC-ABCO super lightweight title. Australian boxing promoter and manager Peter Maniatis informed philboxing of this match-up.
Abdulhamid (11W-3L,4KO?s) fights out of the Sanman Gym of Gen. Santos City while Hunt (20W-4L-1D,7KO?s) is a former PABA and Australia Champion.
The 22 year old Abdulhamid is a southpaw and lost in his first overseas outing by TKO in Russia last year against Georgi Chelokhsaev for the WBO Youth super lightweight title last year. He has since bounced back with wins against Marjhun Tabamo and Raymond Yanong.
Maniatis describes Hunt as someone who ?boxes well and has good foot work and good skills.?
"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.? He added.
The fight will be held April 21 at the Malvern Town Hall in Victoria,Australia.
Maniatis also talked about the fight venue: ?It is now is a very popular venue, hosting Filipino boxers and former WBA interim world champion Randy Petalcorin, who fought twice at Malvern Town Hall including PABA title defences in 2013 and 2014 for 2 KO wins"
"l would like to invite as many Filipino boxers to Melbourne, Australia to fight on my events and also give Filipino boxers opportunity in title bouts here in Australia" stated promoter Maniatis.
