Undefeated Reymart Tagacanao of Carcar, Cebu will fight for a regional title shot in the co-main event of ‘Kumong Bol-Anon XIV’ on March 8, 2024, in Bohol. The 24-year-old Tagacanao will fight Indonesian Hamson Lamandau for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Asia super flyweight title in the PMI Bohol Boxing Promotions-promoted fight card.

If he wins, Tagacanao (7-0, 6 KOs) would become the second regional champion from Villamor Boxing Gym in Mandaue City, under trainer Edito Villamor. But he will face an acid test in the more experienced 29-year-old Lamandau of Tumbang Sian, Indonesia, who has 12-5-1 with 9 KOs.
