Phoobadin, Vanlalawmpuia Make Weight for WBA Asia Double Header in Thailand


PhilBoxing.com





BANGKOK, Thailand -- World-ranked WBA Asia champion Phoobadin Yoohanngoh (15-0, 9 KO's) of Thailand weighed-in at 63.50 kilos (140 lbs), while his Indian challenger Vanlalawmpuia (6-1-1, 4 KO's). came-in at 63.23 Kgs (139.4 pounds), for their battle for the WBA Asia Super Lightweight Strap.

The action unfolds Saturday February 4, at the plush SpacePlus Night Club, RCA Plaza, in Bangkok, Thailand, live in Thailand on Workpoint TV Channel 23, with fans around the world able to watch LIVE for free from the Promoter's YouTube channel: TLBOXINGPROMOTION.

The telecast starts at 14:00 Thailand Time (UTC + 7).




In the main event, Phoobadin makes the 6th defense of the belt he won in July of 2020, with the 19-year-old - trained by his dad and elder brothers - keeping on getting better and better.

Currently ranked by the WBA as world's #13 super lightweight, the disciplined Phoobadin sees his 10-rounder WBA Asia title fight against Vanlalawmpuia as a stepping stone to more challenging wars later this year.

But careful... could the well-trained Phoobadin be a bit over-confident, thus ripe for one heck of a surprise?

Because the 25-year-old Vanlalawmpuia born in the Village of Khuangthing in the Champhai district of Mizoram in Northeastern India, has two dangerous fists, as well as his own dreams of glory.

Vanlalawmpuia, 25, is trained by coach former welterweight boxer Sete Renthlei, owner of the Sete Boxing Academy in Aizawl, and is promoted by India's top boxing promoter Devraj Das, president of the Marine Pro Boxing Promotions in Mumbai.

In the co-main event, Thailand's bantamweight Yuttapong Tongdee (9-0, 5 KO's), will defend his WBA Asia Bantamweight Strap from the attacks of younger India warrior F. Zoramchhana (4-2, 0 KO's).

Supervisor for the hot rumble is Thai veteran WBA Asia official Chalerm Prayadsab.

The exciting show February 4 at the plush SpacePlus Night Club in Bangkok is a promotion of Terry Laosuwanwat of TL Boxing Promotion in association with India's top boxing promoter Devraj Das of Marine Pro Boxing, Tony Chen of SpacePlus Night Club, Skyview Hotel Bangkok and Workpoint TV Channel 23.
