Thailand 112-pounder Thanongsak Simsri (38-1, 34 KOs), looks confident as he prepares to battle exciting Filipino warrior Christian "The Bomb" Araneta (25-2, 20 KOs) for the vacant IBF Flyweight World Title.

The exciting 12-rounder is set to electrify the Ota-City Gym in Tokyo this coming Thursday, June 19.

Surrounded by his coach Poom and his Japanese manager Masaya Motoishi of Osaka's Green Tsuda Gym, the Thai Simsri is indeed en route to a collision against the skilled and determined Araneta, one most dangerous and powerful fighters he has ever faced.

Promoted by Hideyuki Ohashi, this thrilling world title clssh will be broadcast LIVE in Japan on Lemino and globally on ESPN.

As the Thai southpaw from Srisaket Province dreams of getting the coveted title, Araneta has been training in Japan under the supervision of his long-time Omega coach “Dr. J.” Julius Erving Junco.

👉 Or will Christian Araneta’s devastating hands land hard on the Thai, propelling the Pinoy to an awesome victory in Japan, bringing blessed glory to the Philippines?

The stage is set, and the anticipation can be felt. Who will be the new IBF Flyweight World Champion? May the best man win! 🇯🇵🇵🇭🇹🇭👍🥊
