The final cast of the boxing event to be held in conjunction with the WBC 45th Annual Convention has been finalized, with no less than ten bouts being put up by Manny Pacquiao's MP Promotions as the promoter.
Games and Amusements Board Chairman Eric Buhain, who is at the forefront of the preparations for this historic conclave, also informed that the venue for the boxing event will either be the SM Mall of Asia or the Quirino Grandstand.
Matchmaker Willy Flores of RWS Stable informed yesterday that the main event will feature Jimrex Jaca against Japan's Ryu Miyagi in a rematch of their highly-explosive first bout last August 25 at the SM Mall of Asia.
There will also be three RP title bouts for the night, plus one PBF title bout in the superbantam division.
RP superfeatherweight champion Dodie Boy Agrabio stakes his title against Pacquioa sparmate Aaron Melgarejo in a 12-round rumble.
RP superbantam champ Jake Verano will also defend his crown against Mandaluyong City's Jun Talape.
A battle for the vacant RP welterweight title ensues when Dondon Sultan takes on Pacquiao sparmate Arniel Tinampay.
A ten-round PBF title bout in the superbantam division takes place between Balweg Bangoyan and Cris Besmanus.
Japanese Naozumi Tsuchiyama will also face the very dangerous William Jorge.
The rest of the card pits Danilo Pena versus Richard Olisa; Roel Laguna against Edgar Gabejan; Ali Cali versus Ronel Ferreras; and Juan Martin Elorde versus Glen Mondol.
