PhilBoxing.com




Three of the most exciting fights for Filipino boxing fans this Saturday August 26 are the following ones, all of them so crucially important.

Will the all three popular Pinoy fighters claim wins, as fans pray for?

And who among them has a more complicated mission?

1. In the world title rumble for August 26, “Hellboy” Garin Diagan of Gensan challenges WBO World Champion Oscar Collazo at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente, San Juan Ciudad Patria.in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Collazo is the hard-hitting fighter who made Marvin Jerusalem quit on his stool a couple months ago.

The Puerto Rican champ is promoted by Miguel Cotto Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions.

Collazo has the hard work of battling “Hellboy” Diagan, a fighter or heart, speed and skills. Both glory-hungry young southpaws. Who would get the job done and how?

It’s 12 rounds of action in the minimumweight division, live on DAZN.



2. On the same day, but in the total opposite extremes of the planet, tough as steel “Asero” Vincent Diazen Astrolabio fights experienced Thailand warrior Nawaphon Kaikanha in a hot WBC bantamweight world title eliminator at the Night Bazaar Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

It’s a war of two former world title challengers, one of them gets the golden chance to fight for the world title again. Who will he be?

Nawaphon belongs to the very active Thailand’s NKL Promotions, the promoters of the afternoon event.

Meanwhile, the world-class, well-trained, totally-focused “Asero” Astrolabio is prepared and handled by beloved Filipino coach Nonoy Neri of the MP Stable.

Kaikankha vs Astrolabio is a 12-round of bantamweight action live on Thailand TV.



3. And last but not least, rising Pinoy fighter Herlan Sixto Gomez battles India’s former amateur standout Vikash Dahiya in a non-title super bantamweight clash at the super luxurious Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Vikash, a boxer of speed and talent is guided by Indian star coach Brijesh Kumar.

Meanwhile, the Bacoleño Herlan Gomez is handled by experienced coaches Supanat Chanram and Brico Langbay Santig of the Highland Boxing Gym.

Herlan vs Vikash is scheduled for 8 rounds of action live on the Highland Boxing Promotion YouTube Channel evening time in Dubai.

Best of luck all to all 6 warriors in action August 26, May the Best Men Win!!! 👍🥊🔥
