The winner of the bout will be officially designated as next in line to face the winner of WBC World Light Flyweight Champion Panya “Petchmanee CP Freshmart” Pradabsri (44-2, 27 KOs) of Bangkok, Thailand’s upcoming match against WBC #37-ranked Christian Balunan (12-0, 7 KOs) of Consolacion, Cebu, Philippines, in Japan.
“Every fighter dreams of winning the title and wearing the WBC’s green belt around their waist,” said Badillo. “My time has finally come, and I am very happy and thankful to be here. I plan to put on a show for the fans on ProBox TV.”
“Thank you to my promoters, All Star Promotions, for this great chance,” said Zapata. “I will not let this opportunity they have given me go to waste. I will be victorious on July 11.”
