Tickets to the "WBO Night of Champions" card on August 30 featuring Rey 'Boom Boom" Bautista and Donnie Nietes will be out starting Thursday, says ALA Promotions vice-president Dennis Canete.
At a press conference held yesterday at the Lai Restaurant in SM City's North Wing, both Bautista and Nietes expressed readiness to take on their respective foes in the event presented by ALA Promotions and ABS-CBN.
Bautista will headline the card against Mexico's Eden Marquez in a 12-round battle for his WBO Intercontinental superbantam title.
Nietes will also defend his WBO minimumweight crown against Nicaragua's Eddy Castro in another 12-round war.
Both fighters were accompanied at yesterday's presscon by their manager Michael Aldeguer and trainers Edito and Edmund Villamor.
Also present were Lai Restaurant execs Boy Te and Marilou Yu, as well as Chad Canares of ALA Promotions.
