Undefeated hard-hitting Sanman boxer Presco "The Iceman" Carcosla (8-0-1, 7 KO's) of Gensan has arrived in Melbourne, Australia, ahead of his important title battle against undefeated local 126-pounder Jai Alexander (11-0, 6 KO's) for the vacant IBO Asia Pacific Featherweight belt.
The crucial war will unfold this coming Saturday March 7th at the MSAC Stadium Albert Park Melbourne in a production of Kings of Kombat, Peter Maniatis Events and Ultratune.
Carcosia is assisted in Melbourne by JC Manangquil and Gary Connoly.
RAFOL VS CLARK IN THE CO-FEATURE
In the show's co-feature, Pinoy Rodynie "Dondon" Rafol (14-7-2, 7 KO's ) of Mindoro Occidental, Philippines, will collide against unbeaten Australian "Superman" Kayne Clark (9-0, 6 KO's) for the vacant IBO Asia Pacific lightweight belt.
According to co-promoter Maniatis, the 32-year-old Rafol does not show his true ability on his record. "His losses where to Greek-Australian warriors Michael Katsidis and George Kambosos on points. Now, Rafol trains with coach Todd Makelin."
