MLANG, NORTH COTABATO--Two top Mindanao prospects belonging to the Braveheart Stable will defend their titles today against Indonesian bangers at the town's gymnasium here.
The event is being supported by Mlang Mayor Lito Pinol, Congressman Jun Pinol, Chicago's Rolly Hiso, and North Cotabato Vice-Governor Manny Pinol.
WBO Asia Pacific Youth miniflyweight champion Edren Dapudong will defend his crown for the first time against Jack Amisa in an explosive 10-round fight.
