PhilBoxing.com





BANGKOK, Thailand — Promising Cebuano sensation Arvin Jhon "AJ" Paciones (10-0, 5 KOs) is all set to take on the challenge of a lifetime as he faces off against Thailand's Sanchai Yotboon for the vacant WBO Oriental Flyweight Title.

The highly anticipated 10-round bout is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 31, at the iconic World Siam Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Promoted by Highland Boxing Promotions, this electrifying match-up is part of a 17-bout show that promises to deliver non-stop action and excitement.

As Paciones steps into the ring, only one thought is on his mind: victory.

That's because a thrilling win against the experienced Sanchai would not only crown him the new WBO Oriental Champion, but also catapult him into the WBO world rankings.

The Weigh-In: Confidence and Focus

During the weigh-in ceremony, overseen by WBO Vice President Leon Panoncillo, Paciones exuded confidence and focus.

Standing tall, the Pinoy showcased his impressive physique, a testament to his rigorous training regimen at the renowned SSC (Saigon Sports Club) Gym in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

By his side was his father and coach, former Filipino warrior Do Dong, who has been instrumental in shaping Paciones' career.

The Stage is Set

As fans watch, Paciones will give it all to make his mark in the sport he loves.

With his unbeaten 10-0 record and improved boxing skills and speed, he's becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Indeed, the slim and strong 20-year-old Cebuano has been training tirelessly, honing his craft, and perfecting his technique.

Now it's time to put those skills to the test against a seasoned opponent like Sanchai. What will happen?

Catch the Action Live

Fans worldwide can catch the LIVE action on YouTube via the FCC Fight Championship Club channel with English commentator.

The first bout kicks off at 2 pm Thailand Time (3 pm Philippine Time), so mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable night of boxing. Paciones is the 15th bout.

Best of Luck, AJ!

As Paciones prepares to fight the tattooed Sanchai, his fans hold their breath.

Will AJ Paciones emerge victorious and claim the WBO Oriental title and a place in the world ranking? Or will the tough and experienced Sanchai spoil the night?

One thing is certain – AJ Paciones is ready to give it his all and make his coach/father and Filipino fans proud.

The stage is set, may the best man win!
