Leon Moore has recently based himself in Bangkok at the new Top Rated Boxing gym. Moving to Asia to reignite his world title ambitions, this boxer / puncher knows if he wins the WBA PABA title, he is in line to fight for a world title in Singapore in 2010. Marangin Marbun (19-6-1,7KOs) is the number one challenger and the experienced 24-year-old is looking to taking a major scalp. On the undercard are five more exciting fights, including fighters from China, Japan, Korea, Philippines and Thailand representing up and coming Asian talent inspired by the exploits of championship boxers like Manny Pacquiao.
