“Rumble in the Une” Makes History in Union City with Star-Studded Fight Card Headlined by Jacob Macalolooy PhilBoxing.com Wed, 01 Apr 2026  Union City, CA — On Saturday, April 4th, the Bay Area boxing scene reaches a historic milestone as Union City hosts its first-ever professional boxing event, “Rumble in the Une,” at the Guy Emanuele Jr. Pavilion. Promoted by Elite Underdog Promotions, this landmark event will feature a stacked lineup of 10 professional bouts and shine a spotlight on a primarily Filipino fight card, celebrating the deep-rooted tradition and rising talent within the Filipino boxing community. Headlining the evening, Jacob Macalolooy faces off against Jaylin Strong in a highly anticipated main event that promises fireworks. Both fighters bring skill, determination, and momentum into the ring, making this a can’t-miss clash for fans eager to witness high-level competition. With Union City hosting its first pro event, the stakes are even higher, as both fighters look to etch their names into local boxing history. The co-main event features Kyle Lacanlale taking on Javier Rojas Campos, a bout expected to deliver nonstop action. Lacanlale, a fan favorite with a growing following, will look to make a statement against the experienced and dangerous Campos in what many anticipate will be one of the most competitive fights of the night. Also featured on the card is undefeated rising star Blazen Rocili (9-0, 7 KOs), a towering 6’4” Filipino standout known as “The Filipino Giant.” Rocili has quickly built a reputation as one of the most exciting prospects in the sport, combining size, power, and athleticism with a relentless fighting style. His return to the ring follows an impressive outing in Colorado, where he demonstrated poise, ring IQ, and his trademark finishing ability against a durable opponent. As Rocili continues his climb through the ranks, each performance further cements his status as a fighter to watch on the national stage. “Rumble in the Une” is more than just a fight card—it is a celebration of culture, community, and the next generation of boxing talent. With a roster heavily featuring Filipino fighters, the event highlights the pride, passion, and fighting spirit that has long defined Filipino boxing on the world stage. From the opening bout to the main event, fans can expect an electric atmosphere filled with energy, support, and world-class competition. Enhancing the live experience, legendary ring announcer Ramblin' Ralph will bring his unmistakable voice and charisma to the ring, adding a big-fight feel to every bout. The action will be called by commentators Andrew Bocanegra and Brian Mendoza, known for their work on Boxing Primetime on FightHype, delivering expert insight, analysis, and excitement throughout the night.
