UNBEATEN PROSPECT KENNETH LLOVER TO FACE FORMER TWO-DIVISION CHAMPION LUIS CONCEPCION IN MANILA
PhilBoxing.com Mon, 07 Jul 2025

Unbeaten bantamweight prospect Kenneth Llover is set to face the most notable opponent of his career when he takes on the former two-division champion Luis Concepcion of Panama on August 17 at Winford Resort and Casino in Manila.
Holding a perfect professional record of 14-0 with 9 knockouts, Llover returns to home soil riding high on momentum after scoring back-to-back first-round stoppages over Tulio Dekanarudo and Keita Kurihara in Japan.
The highly impressive victories have propelled the 22-year-old standout from General Trias, Cavite, to No. 9 in The RING’s bantamweight rankings.
“I am excited to fight in front of my kababayans again. Luis Concepcion is a warrior; he is aggressive and experienced. I expect him to bring the fight. This is going to be an explosive night," said Llover.
Concepcion (40-11, 29 KOs), known for his aggressive style and punching power, is the most accomplished opponent Llover has faced. The Panamanian veteran held world titles at both flyweight and super flyweight, making him a formidable test for the young prospect.
“Concepcion is a two-division world champion and the most decorated foe yet for Llover. He brings a wealth of experience with over 50 fights. This bout will show how ready Llover is for the next level. Fans can’t miss this one," said head of Gerrypens Promotions Gerry Peñalosa.
The showdown will be co-promoted by Japan’s Kameda Promotions, led by ex-world champ Koki Kameda, who is set to travel to the Philippines to witness the action firsthand. The event is co-presented by Winford Resort and Casino Manila.
Ticket details will be announced soon via the official Gerrypens Promotions Facebook page.
