Tapales risks WBC Asia title
PhilBoxing.com Fri, 06 Sep 2024
Former unified world super-bantamweight king Marlon Tapales and his Indian foe conquered the scales Friday a day before their scheduled showdown on Saturday at the Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Tapales stepped in at 121.7 lbs while Saurabh Kumar tipped in at 120.6 lbs with the Filipino southpaw’s World Boxing Council Asia crown on the line.
“This is a major step towards another shot at the world title for Marlon,” JC Mananquil, the fighter’s promoter said from the Cambodian capital after the official weighin on Friday.
Tapales is rated highly by the four sanctioning bodies and is in prime position to contest for a vacant world title once Naoya Inoue relinquishes all four belts to invade the featherweight ranks.
Presented by Wurks Energy Drink and KKIF, the slugfest is guaranteed to provide fistic fireworks on fight night.
Tapales and his team arrived in Phnom Penh on Wednesday.
